The Ultima Dual Airflow Pressure Sensor™ is intended for use during sleep disorder studies as a
measure of respiratory airflow for recording onto a data acquisition system.
The Ultima Dual Airflow Pressure Sensor™ is a battery-powered pressure transducer that uses
state-of-the-art-miniaturized technology to detect and reproduce waveforms associated with
respiratory airflow from both the nose and mouth. Respiratory pressures are converted into
voltage signals compatible with a variety of data acquisition systems.
The differential pressure system uses either custom Braebon™ cannulas (Model 0589, 0588,
0582s, or others) or standard oxygen (O2) cannulas with the Braebon™ safety filter. The single-
use nasal cannula has a 0.2-micron hydrophobic filter that prevents the spread of contaminants
between patients and prevents moisture damage to the pressure sensor. The cannula attaches to
the positive input of the Ultima Dual Airflow Pressure Sensor™.
The pressure sensor essentially functions as an uncalibrated pneumotachograph. The sensor
detects and amplifies pressure swings from the cannula using a stable pressure transducer
capable of detecting differential pressures in the ±25 cm H2O range. The corresponding voltage is
then output for data acquisition.

For your personal safety, please read the safety conventions and the warnings and cautions in this
manual.
6DIHW\&RQYHQWLRQV
These are the safety conventions for this manual. The table below lists the safety symbol, the
name for the symbol, and the meaning of the symbol.
Warning
The Warning message appears in the manual before
procedures or tasks that must be strictly observed to avoid
patient injury or harm.
Caution
The Caution message appears in the manual before
procedures or tasks that must be strictly observed to avoid
damage to the product.
Note The Note message contains important information to help
the operator complete a procedure or task correctly.
6DIHW\,QIRUPDWLRQ
• The Ultima Dual Airflow Pressure Sensor™ is for diagnostic use only; it is NOT intended as an
apnea monitor, and it is NOT to be used in life sustaining situations.
• U.S. Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
• Always use a new single-use Ultima Airflow Pressure Cannula (Model 0589, 0588, 0582s, or
others) and a new Braebon™ safety filter (Model 0583) with each patient. The Braebon™
safety filter is required to prevent the spread of contaminants between patients and to prevent
moisture damage to the pressure sensor. Failure to use the Braebon™ safety filter will void the
warranty.
• To prevent dust contamination to the pressure sensor always keep safety filters attached to
the unit and change the safety filters immediately prior to next patient use.
• Use only isopropyl alcohol pads to clean the pressure sensor.
•DoNOT immerse the pressure sensor (Model 0585) in any liquids.
•DoNOT steam autoclave or gas sterilize the pressure sensor or damage will result.
• Use two 1.5V AA batteries or damage to the Ultima Dual Airflow Pressure Sensor™ will result.
Do NOT mix battery types. Do NOT insert the batteries backwards.
• If mounting the pressure sensor on the wall, mount the unit upside down to minimize the
likelihood of bending or kinking the cannula tubing.

The Ultima Dual Airflow Pressure Sensor™ is a differential pressure transducer that detects and
amplifies pressure swings in the cm of H2O range. The voltage corresponding to the
differential pressure is output for data acquisition.
The Ultima Dual Airflow Pressure Sensor™ has three inputs and six outputs with an output range
of volts. With the Ultima Dual Airflow Pressure Sensor™, you can adjust the gain and baseline
controls for both the nasal and oral output channels. The output range will vary according to the
gain and baseline settings you used during recording.

The Ultima Dual Airflow Pressure Sensor™ has three inputs: nasal input, nasal differential input
(CPAP connection), and oral input.
Nasal Input
With the nasal input, you can either combine oral and nasal breathing into one channel using
a single lumen, oral/nasal cannula connected to the nasal input or you can record nasal
breathing only using any nasal cannula connected to the nasal input.
Nasal Differential Input
With the nasal differential input, you can subtract a known pressure from the nasal baseline by
connecting your CPAP circuit to the nasal differential input.
The nasal differential input is your baseline for the nasal input. If you do not connect anything,
then you are using atmospheric pressure as your baseline for your nasal input. However, if
you attach a CPAP circuit to the nasal differential input, then you are using the CPAP pressure
as the baseline instead of atmospheric pressure.
Oral Input
With the oral input, you can record oral and nasal breathing on separate channels using a
dual lumen, oral and nasal cannula connected to both the oral and nasal input.
