Systems and methods are provided for nitric oxide production. In one embodiment, the NO generation system includes a disposable cartridge and a controller capable of providing nitric oxide to two different treatments simultaneously. The disposable cartridge serves multiple purposes, including preparing the inlet gas for exposure to the NO production process, cleaning the exhaust gas for unwanted materials, characterizing the patient's inspiratory flow, and removing moisture from the collected sample gas. Have. Plasma generation may be performed within a cartridge or controller. The system has the ability to calibrate NO and NO2 gas analysis sensors without the use of a calibration gas. |
