Pulmonary Function Testing Systems

Covers diffusion and distribution disorders in one single measurement

. We use only Helium as a tracer gas which being inert and non pungent is recommended as a preferred tracer element by most standards.

2. We use Ultrasonic Mol mass technique for Helium measurement rather than heated wire whetstone bridge, where in the forth arm is a heated resistive wire and the cooling of this heated wire by the patient breath is interpolated to give He value. Any thing which is heated and cooled frequently would call for regular Calibration which if not done regularly would yield erroneous results.  The results at times can be as away as 65%. In Mol mass technology we use US wave length and the molecular mass of the elements to measure Mol mass and flow where in both the variables are a universal truth and hence no calibration is required.

3. We as a standard give patient co-operation display in our system which helps the operator drive co-operation f the patient there by getting a reliable and reproducible test result.  

4. We give Intra-breath technique in our Single Breath Diffusion system by way of which patients who can’t hold their breath are also able to perform a good test.

5. In our system we use very fast near real time sensors due to which you will get good test results even in subjects who are not able to breath up to 1 Ltr. Volume which is unique to our system.

6. We carry out DLCO and FRC under single test sitting there by saving time and you need only one diffusion gas mix cylinder rater than three different cylinders making the system very simple and less service intensive

. Determination of TLCO and Helium-FRC meets ERS-standard

• Online BTPS correction (patented)

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

The Oscillatory Resistance Measurement answers the central question of the current degree of obstruction immediately and practically without patient cooperation! PowerCube ROS measurements only require normal tidal breathing. This makes the PowerCube-ROS the ideal device for screening and apron diagnostics. The big advantage: exhausting, cooperation-dependent and thus error-prone breathing maneuvers fall away. Even personnel without special pneumological training can perform precise measurements quickly and quickly. Short measuring times of more than 10 seconds as well as measurements in the rest breathing cycle without the need for explanatory breathing maneuvers relieve waiting rooms and patients.

 

• Continuous measurement of respiratory resistance during normal tidal breathing
• No specially trained personnel required to instruct the breath maneuvers
• Direct high-resolution measurement directly shows the resistance curve
• Gentle measurement method without appreciable influence on the respiratory system
• Especially suitable for use in pediatrics

• Discrete measurement frequencies of 5, 10, 20 Hz
• Spirometry and flow/volume measurement included in the scope of delivery

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

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
