The project titled “Comparison measurement and training courses on the ventilator tester”led by APMP Medical Metrology Focus Group (MMFG) is designed to build up developing economies’ measurement capability in ventilator tester within the region. With about 12 participating APMP member institutes, this project is composed of comparison measurement to verify existing methods for calibrating the ventilator tester, drafting of a guideline for calibration, and calibration training to APMP developing member institutes.
