Abstract
The frequency responses of nasogastric water-filled catheters (W-FC) and air-balloon catheters (A-BC) were determined with a sine wave generator, to test the validity of the assumption that these frequency responses fit a second-oder system. A-BC and W-FC frequency responses do not adequately fit second-order systems. Second-order fitted curve:original recorded curve (SOFC:ORC) deviations are larger in W-FC than in A-BC, and in large French Gauge-sized catheters. The sine-wave generator is best used to measure in vitro frequency responses of compliant fluid-filled catheters rather than the square-wave response technique.
