Microflow Microdial Flowmeter

Assured, repeatable accuracy to enable safe, effective weaning.

What is Microflow used for?

Microflow is primarily used to supply supplementary oxygen to infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).

BPD is common in very low birth weight and pre-term infants that have needed mechanical ventilation or have been treated with high oxygen concentrations due to respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)/ chronic lung disease (CLD).

The risk of RDS/CLD is inversely related to birth weight and gestational age.

Infants may need very low supplementary oxygen for many months to compensatefor underdeveloped lungs.

Microflow benefits

Enables baby to receive oxygen therapy at home, putting families together sooner and increasing parent satisfaction
Less time in hospital, lower cost of care
Accurate, repeatable steps
Micro step changes in flow
Enables low flow rates to achieve target saturation
Enables oxygen flow to be weaned

“We are using Microdial for infants on a small amount of oxygen, for more precise oxygen delivery and titration. Other flowmeters tend to fluctuate more easily and are not as precise as the Microdial.”
