A bag-in-box system (BBS) whose volume is monitored by a mechanical spirometer tends to have a slow response if the volume of the box is large, and this may significantly affect its measurement of gas flow. We describe a device for creating reproducible gas flows with which the impulse response of a BBS may be conveniently determined. Two computational techniques for correcting a BBS flow measurement for the effects of the impulse response were investigated: 1) an exponential model method that assumes a second-order model of the BBS dynamics and 2) a Fourier transform-based method of deconvolution known as Wiener filtering. Both correction methods produced a significant increase in the accuracy of BBS flow estimations, with the Wiener filter giving superior results.
