Pulmonary Function Testing Systems

The SpiroScout is a complete lung function laboratory based on the GANSHORN - ultrasonic- measurement. It enables the exact determination of all Spirometric parameters. But the SpiroSout is mich more then only a spirometer.

As first of its kind the SpiroScout measures simultaneiusly flow and gas density giving with one single measurement simultaneously information about volume and gas exchange.


The following options :

• Capno- Volumetry
• Emphysema diagnostics
• Determination of anatomical and functional dead spaces. provide in a few seconds important information for a scout diagnosis of lung disorders.

The clear statement of these parameters does not depend on the corporation of the patients. Even small children can be tested quickly and easily.

Because unimportant measurements do not exist in lung function diagnostics

• The know how of a laboratory pulmonary function system in a low budget compact format
• A handy computer-based spirornetry system with all advantages of the Ganshorn IFS program
• For Spirometry, floavolurne and MW-measurement
• Integrated program for pre/post comparisons, broncho spasmolysis, and monitoring of challenge tests
• Large scale animation programs for patient motivation
• Graphical assistance tools for monitoring patient cooperation and assure optimal breathing manoeuvres
• High quality accessories for maximum precision, e.g. absolute humidity insensitive pneumotach

 

Software for PC-spirometer along with flow/volume measurement, inspiratory and exspiratory vital capacity, partial volumes, FEV1, maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV), peak-flow and more than 40 sub-parameters. A powerful Windows based software with patient co-operation display that helps to  derive patient co-operation, the most chalenging task in Spirometery.

Covers diffusion and distribution disorders in one single measurement

• Determination of TLCO and h elium-FRC meets ERS-standard

• Continuous display of expiratory CO- and Helium concentrations (alveolar plateau) to determine distribution abnormalities

• Assisting pictures for the optimal control of the breathing manoeuvres

• Results of different measurement programs can be consolidated in one report

• Spirometry, flow/volume nd MW measurement included in the scope of delivery

Proven quality for quick and precise measurements

• Solid cabin construction

• Handicapped friendly due to stable and wide seating bench with amble legroom

• Automatic cabin calibration via Body Live Cal method (patented)

• Calibration free ultrasound flow transducer (patented)

• Online BTPS correction (patented)

• Spirometry and flow/volume included as part of the bodyplethysmograph program and as separate measuring program

The versatile system for perfect ergo spirometry tests

• Lightweight, absolute humidity insensitive pneumotach
• Quick responding and highly stable gas analyzers for true breath-by-breath measurements
• Special report for training-overview, training-goals and performance control for sports, fitness and rehabilitation
• Interpretation diagram by Wasserman
• 9-panel-grafic by Wasserman
• Combination with nearly any bicycle/treadmill/ ECG system possible
• Spirometry, flow/volume and MW measurement included in the scope of delivery

 

Because peak flow measurements are solely not enough: cooperation-free resistance measurements

• Continuous online measurement of the oscillatory resistance with determination of Impedance. Reactance and Phase angle
• A gentle measurement method without influence on the respiratory tract
• Continuous determination of airway resistance while breathing at rest, no special instructions required by staff
• Calibration of all basic parameters possible
• Discrete measurement frequencies of 5, 10, 20 and 30 Hz
• Spirometry and flow/volume measurement included in the scope of delivery

Inhalative challenge tests - performed quickly and reproducible

• Designated, breath-phase-controlled application of stimulants during the inspiration phase for specific and nonspecific challenge tests
• Microprocessor controlled dosage of every single breath
• Free adjustable amount of steps, breaths and atomizing time
• n many cases the atomizing time control feature allows the use of only one aerosol concentration

 

Over 20 years GANSHORN develops and manufactures high quality lung function diagnostic equipment. Many of our innovations and patents have set the trend and are accepted standards today. With the development of the PowerCube® system, GANSHORN has placed lung function diagnostics on a totally new hardware platform. The essential lung function parameters are determined with only one system.

 

Many years of experience offers our customers versatile and qualified advice, manufactured state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment for the clinic and doctor's office, as well as superior technical service through a competent team.
