Description

The Ambu RIPmate Kit w/ Disposable Bands - STD (#819200-100) includes two RIP locks, two processors, and one roll band.

Warranty: 1 Year - processors, belts, and cables.

Designed to measure inductance changes in the wire of the belt as it expands and contracts with breathing, the Ambu RIPmate Kit w/ Disposable Bands - STD eliminates false paradoxical signals and the potential of signal loss due to lost belt tension. That data is both qualitative and quantitative when calibrated with a spirometer.

Features

Ambu RIPmate Kit w/ Disposable Bands - STD Features

  • Made from soft and flexible materials for a comfortable fit.
  • Cut to length for a perfect fit.
  • No adjusting necessary - grips the patient tight and prevents loss of signal due to belt slipping.
  • Buckles designed with rounded corners and flat profiles for additional comfort.
  • Eliminates the need to clean the belt between uses.
  • Provides the same quality signal as RIPmate reusable belts.

Specifications

Ambu RIPmate Kit w/ Disposable Bands - STD Specifications

  • Lead Wire: Two conductors, approximately 205 cm.
  • Terminators: 1.5 mm safety pins (custom terminators available).
  • Belting Systems: Disposable, cut to length.
  • Low Frequency filter/time constant: 0.16 Hz (or 1 second longer). Shorter time constants or higher low frequency filter settings will significantly attenuate waveforms.
  • High Frequency Filter: 8-15 Hz.
  • Sensitivity: Adjustment of the sensitivity up or down is typically required. Response is dependent upon such variables as sensor application and patient effort.
  • Width: 1 inch.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Ambu RIPmate Kit used for?

The Ambu RIPmate Kit is designed to measure breathing patterns by detecting inductance changes in the belt as it expands and contracts. It’s used for respiratory monitoring, including sleep studies.

What is included in the RIPmate Kit?

The Ambu RIPmate Kit provides the necessary components for respiratory effort monitoring using disposable bands:

  • Two RIP locks
  • Two processors (These units measure the inductance changes in the belt wire)
  • One roll band (Disposable belting material, which is 1 inch wide and cut to length for a custom fit)

Each processor connects via a two-conductor lead wire, approximately 205 cm long, which terminates in 1.5 mm safety pins.

Are the bands in the Ambu RIPmate Kit reusable?

No, the Ambu RIPmate Kit comes with disposable bands that are cut to length. This eliminates the need for cleaning between uses.

What is the length of the lead wires included in the kit?

The lead wires are approximately 205 cm long and have two conductors.

What type of terminators are included with the lead wires?

The lead wires come with 1.5 mm safety pins as terminators. Custom terminators are also available.

How does the RIPmate Kit ensure accurate signals?

The Ambu RIPmate Kit is specifically engineered to maximize signal integrity and prevent common monitoring errors:

  • Eliminates False Signals: The system is designed to prevent the appearance of false paradoxical signals, ensuring cleaner data for accurate respiratory effort analysis.
  • Prevents Signal Loss: By measuring inductance changes, the system eliminates signal inaccuracies that can result from belt slipping or lost belt tension, maintaining the same quality signal as reusable RIPmate belts.
  • Custom Fit: The disposable bands are cut to the required length for a perfect, stable fit. They are secured with buckles featuring flat profiles and rounded corners to enhance patient comfort without compromising signal consistency.
What are the low and high-frequency filter settings for the Ambu RIPmate Kit?

The Ambu RIPmate Kit has a low-frequency filter/time constant of 0.16 Hz (or 1 second longer) and a high-frequency filter of 8-15 Hz.

Is the RIPmate kit comfortable for patients?

Yes, the Ambu RIPmate Kit is specifically designed for patient comfort while ensuring accurate respiratory monitoring.

Key comfort features include:

  • Soft and Flexible Material: The disposable bands are constructed from soft, flexible material ideal for prolonged wear.
  • Optimized Fit: Bands are cut precisely to the required length, ensuring a secure, snug fit that prevents slippage.
  • Ergonomic Buckles: The buckles feature rounded corners and flat profiles to minimize potential pressure points.
Is a precise fit ensured by the disposable bands?

Yes, the disposable bands are specifically designed to ensure a precise, optimal fit for accurate respiratory effort monitoring.

Key features related to fit and signal integrity include:

  • Customization: The bands are disposable and designed to be cut to length, allowing them to be perfectly tailored to the patient’s body size.
  • Comfort and Security: They are made from soft, flexible materials with flat-profile, rounded-corner buckles, enhancing patient comfort while providing a snug fit that prevents slippage.
  • Signal Integrity: This precise application eliminates signal loss caused by lost belt tension or belt slipping, ensuring reliable data acquisition equivalent to reusable RIPmate belts.
Can bands be custom cut for patients?

Yes, the disposable bands are designed to be cut to the desired length, allowing for a custom fit for each patient. This ensures both comfort and accurate measurement.
