# K270: K-VALVE (Low Resistance, non-rebreathing, 2-way)

Unique tri-cuspid valve diaphragm allows nearly straight-through flow (MRI compatible)

SpiroCard

The lowest resistance, lowest leakage, lowest dead space valve.

Why?

Because the unique tri-cuspid valve diaphragm collapses onto itself and allows nearly straight-through flow, see photo.



  • Rated up tp 800 liters per minute for exercise testing
  • Dead space only 40 cc
  • Fewer parts: Complete valve consists of only 5 parts
  • Functions in any position - not gravity dependent
  • Clear plastic body to view diaphragm operation
  • Threaded inhalation and exhalation ports allow
    easy assembley and disassembly
  • Easy to adapt custom fittings and accessories
  • Diaphragm molded of silicone means long life, non-sticking. Nom diameter = 1 inch.
    maintains elasticity and sensitivity
  • All ports are 1-3/8" (35mm) OD, 1-1/8" ID
    fit all 1-3/8" (35mm) mouthpieces and tubing
  • Weight 0.19 pound


To use the K-valve with a face mask, we suggest the V-Mask with K270-V adapter.
To order this setup, order the K-Valve, a V-Mask Face Piece, the K270-V adapter and a headgear.

We can install gas sampling ports, specify location, such as in body or mouthport.


Replace valve diaphragm every 4 to 6 month to minimize leakage
