  • Page 4: Introduction

    ELFIN ETER NTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the Delfin VapoMeter. You have chosen the ideal device for measuring transepidermal water loss (TEWL) or water loss from different surfaces. The VapoMeter uses a closed chamber measurement principle and thus measurements are unaffected by ambient airflows. The short measurement time ensures that blocking of normal evaporation is minimal.

  • Page 11: Recommendations For Measurements With The Vapo Meter

    ECOMMENDATIONS FOR MEASUREMENTS WITH THE ETER The VapoMeter produces reliable results when the person-related, environmental and instrument-related variables are controlled. The person-related and environmental variables affect the absolute water loss. The instrument-related variables affect the measured water loss value. Guidelines for TEWL measurements (references 1-3 on page 12) are useful for controlling the person-related and environmental variables, but the instrument-related variables do not apply to the closed chamber method.
  • Page 12 VapoMeter SWL5 User Manual 1.3 10.11.2016 Adapters The VapoMeter has been calibrated with the standard and the small adapters. The measured values are reliable only when using one of these adapters with the corresponding adapter mode. Person-related and environmental variables This list contains only selected variables.
