Vitalograph copd 6
TOP
♦ For the early detection of COPD - quickly, simply and accurately
♦ Identifies those at risk of COPD at the pre-symptomatic stage to allow early medical intervention and facilitate better clinical outcomes
♦ Screens out those whose FEV1 is normal, and who therefore do not have COPD, without the risk of false COPD negatives
♦ Monitors COPD patients using their 'number', the obstructive index, FEV1 as a percent of predicted
♦ Displays FEV1, FEV6, ratio and % predicted, obstructive index, COPD classification and lung age
♦ Large, easy to read display
♦ Built-in quality of blow indicator on a large, easy to read display
♦ Easy to clean flowhead
♦ Displays the GOLD COPD classification (stage I - IV) to help recognise the need for a change in the patient's management plan
♦ Requires only minimal instruction for use by non-respiratory specialists

Designed for a comfortable fit, attractively priced, completely disposable. International spirometry guidelines recommend the use of disposable noseclips during spirometry testing. 
The low cost, low resistance SafeTway mouthpiece allows entry of expired air into the measuring system, but not back to the test subject. This simple, yet effective patented design prevents concerns of accidental inhalation of pathogens. The SafeTway is an inexpensive alternative to the bacterial viral filter for expiratory only testing. It fits most pulmonary function test equipment, including peak flow meters. An adaptor may be required. 
Single-use disposable cardboard mouthpieces are no longer recommended for spirometry testing. A special outer coating prevents lip sticking and consequent bleeding. 
Unlike barrier filters which trap expectorated matter whilst allowing viruses and bacteria to pass through, Vitalograph filters use an electrostatically charged material that traps expectorated matter plus bacteria and viruses for highly effective protection against cross contamination. In addition to the hygiene benefits of using bacterial viral filters they also support productivity in pulmonary function testing by reducing the time spent cleaning and sterilising test equipment.
