Advanced Medical carries sophisticated spirometers from highly regarded manufacturers including
CardioTech and Puritan. Providing precise and accurate measurement of
real time flow-volume loop, these specialized apparati measure ventilation, or
the volume of air inspired and expired by the lungs. Useful in
identifying obstructive and restrictive ventilation patterns, spirometers are
the primary tool of Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs). These devices aid in
determining the cause of shortness of breath, evaluating contaminants’ effects
on lung function, diagnosing acute and chronic lung diseases, screening lung
function before surgery, and assessing the effects of medication. These
models are noted for their intuitive design, quick set-up, wide variety of
applicable clinical settings, and extensive testing parameters.
Disposable flow sensors, which minimize cross-contamination and reduce clean up
time, are available.
