Systems and methods for nitric oxide generation are provided. In an embodiment, an NO ngeneration system can include a controller and disposable cartridge that can provide nitric noxide to two different treatments simultaneously. The disposable cartridge has multiple npurposes including preparing incoming gases for exposure to the NO generation process, nscrubbing exhaust gases for unwanted materials, characterizing the patient inspiratory flow, nand removing moisture from sample gases collected. Plasma generation can be done within nthe cartridge or within the controller. The system has the capability of calibrating NO and nNO2 gas analysis sensors without the use of a calibration gas. |
