Abstract

L'invention porte sur un dispositif de conversion d'une caractéristique d'un écoulement fluide en signal électronique comportant: un élément tubulaire (2) présentant une lumière (3) s'étendant entre son extrémité amont (5) et son extrémité aval (6) et traversée par l'écoulement du fluide, et une membrane (8) élastique située dans la lumière (3) se déformant en fonction du débit du fluide. Ladite membrane, faite d'un matériau piézo-électrique, émet un signal analogique proportionnel à la déformation de la membrane. Le signal de tension, dirigé sur un câble (16) peut être utilisé sous forme analogique ou converti en signal numérique transmis à un ordinateur qui présente sur un écran une représentation graphique du débit de fluide. Le dispositif (1) peut également être utilisé pour apprendre à un patient à respirer correctement en lui présentant une représentation graphique du débit d'air inhalé et exhalé par le patient qui respire, par rapport au débit d'un cycle idéal de respiration.
