During laboratory evaluation, no drop in flow occurred during testing.The product surveillance technician (pst) connected the epgs to a system one simulator and central control monitor (ccm), attached oxygen (o2) and air at 50 psi, entered a perfusion screen on the ccm and waited the 15 minute o2 sensor warm-up period.Initiated calibration and calibration passed.The measurement of the direct current (d/c) output voltage from the o2 sensor at 5 liters per minute (lpm) and 100% o2 was 1.65 volts, within the specification of 0.55-2.758 volts.The pst tested the epgs¿s flow through the range of 0.5 to 10 lpm and operated the epgs over a two day period with no drop in flow occurring.
