A Pulmonary Function Product of Rare Distinction SpiroAir is the culmination of manufacturing and pulmonary function expertise that really has no equal. The vast experience behind the design of this remarkable instrument should not be taken for granted. The stable of engineers and clinical experts behind this design can show a history of superb clinical achievements. Each facet of scientific measurement has been scrutinized to ensure adherence to verifiable standards. SpiroAir is an instrument that respects and utilizes the science behind each measurement. SpiroAir features: Gold standard volume measurement 12 liter rolling seal spirometer Automatic self-centering spirometer Helium dilution lung volumes with automatic filling and O 2 compensation Proven pressureless DLCO circuit (no demand valves employed) Precise gas analysis and gas conditioning Respiratory pressure measurement (MIP/MEP) Fully pneumatic patient valve (no balloon valves employed) The 12 liter rolling-seal spirometer is the standard by which all other volume measurement devices are compared. There is no doubt that in pulmonary measurement, all flow-based devices have their boundaries of accuracy; a problem not limiting the SpiroAir! The horizontally mounted spirometer has superb digital discrimination and has the lowest resistance of any competitive device. SpiroAir has a small footprint and can be comfortably set on a bench or supplied with a durable mobile cart. The valve support arm is easily adjusted to suit optimum sitting heights. The SpiroAir spirometer is easily opened to provide access for cleaning. Test Capability SpiroAir has been scientifically designed to be an instrument of impeccable accuracy and clinical background. This is an affordable high quality research caliber system that is truly capable of respiratory measurement in cases of severe disease. SpiroAir tests Simple Spirometry, Flow Volume Loops, MVV, Lung Volumes by either helium dilution (FRC) or nitrogen recovery (TLC), Single Breath Diffusion, Membrane Diffusion and Capillary Blood Volume, Respiratory Pressures (MIP and MEP), Bronchial Challenge Testing (Methocholine, Exercise or Cold Air), Manual Entry for ABG s, Exercise and much more. Ergonomic Patient Valve The SpiroAir pneumatic valve has been designed for long life and minimum preventative service. The valve cleverly caters to the requirements of all available tests affording a single patient connection yet maintaining a minimal deadspace. There is no need to frequently change unreliable balloon valves with SpiroAir! Utilizing a direct piston drive, the valve is suitable for thousands of quiet trouble free operations. For helium dilution studies, an incorporated pneumotach allows for automatic switch-in at end-tidal expiration. Although the valve is usually isolated by a bacterial/viral filter, disassembly for cleaning is a breeze! Respiratory Pressures Maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressures can be measured while seated at the patient valve. ComPAS provides for measurement and storage of MIP and MEP when performed at FRC as well as the traditional TLC and RV condition. Single Breath Diffusion SpiroAir has been designed to assure reproducible DLCO results without any computer enhancing or manipulation of component variables (i.e. volume, time or gas analysis). The patient breathes from a gas reservoir at atmospheric pressure thus avoiding problematic interference of a demand valve. The sample circuit and collection bag are automatically tested for any leaks prior to each test. Gas sampling and test performance are reviewed to confirm clinical validity of each effort. Measurements of DLCO on SpiroAir adhere to the standards on which predicted equations are based. Both the DLCO and VA (Alveolar Volume) data are highly reproducible and can be relied on for clinical interpretation. ComPAS software also provides correction of DLCO and DL/VA for lung volume. Helium Dilution Lung Volumes Helium dilution testing has been optimized in this remarkable new design. The 12 liter spirometer not only self-centers for routine spirometry and flow volume studies but also automatically fills, empties and flushes in a very short period during closed-circuit mode. The background mixture for helium dilution testing is automatically mixed by connection to cylinders of 100% He and 100% O 2. Utilizing the two cylinders of 100% mixture saves considerable cost in test gas. While the whisper-quiet turbines direct air around the closed-circuit, carbon dioxide is scrubbed by a chemical absorber. Oxygen balance is maintained by both fast response oxygen analysis and absolute volume baseline monitoring thus ensuring calm comfort for patients of all size and condition. SpiroAir Fully Digital Positive Displacement PFT System
The combination of SpiroAir and ComPAS provides a PFT testing system that operates from known, proven techniques and standards. Each flow volume maneuver is assessed for ATS acceptability. Using check-marks, the technician is immediately informed of reproducibility. Helium dilution testing has never been easier. ComPAS takes care of the test setup and control of oxygen consumption so that your full attention can be on the patient. Single breath diffusion testing is carefully monitored by the software at each stage to ensure reliable, reproducible and meaningful results. Bronchial challenge is deftly integrated into the spirometry module. Challenge protocols can be configured to suit any test requirements. ComPAS provides a user-configurable pre-test questionnaire that can be part of any pulmonary report. A highly informative Help Manual is provided with ComPAS for instructional assistance, background physiology and service guidance.
Simply the most accurate Spirometry available! The 12 liter rolling seal spirometer follows in the tradition of the world renowned standards created by Philip Morgan in the 1960 s. Low friction technology and insightful mechanical construction have combined to provide a system with superior high frequency characteristics and very low resistance. Top quality pneumotachograph heads present a resistance of typically 10mm water for 10 liters/second. At 10 liters per second SpiroAir has a resistance of less than 5mm of water back pressure. Measurements of spirometry are too frequently underestimated due to flow sensor limitations. There are no flow limits in either the SpiroAir rolling seal spirometer or ComPAS software. In clinical measurement there simply is no equal! For further details please ask for our report showing comparison to the ATS 24 Loop standards. For customers wanting to bypass the patient valve and breathe directly on the spirometer, an accessory kit is provided. If you own the finest pulmonary system available, why not utilize the best in data management and network connected interpretation? The Task Manager delivers completed test results from the PFT lab to any networkconnected workstation. The ComPAS Task Manger was created around the needs and requirements of one of America s most prestigious teaching hospitals. The versatility of the design makes the Task Manager equally suitable in high volume teaching centers or smaller pulmonary practices. When tests are completed in the pulmonary lab, results can be routed to any network-connected station for physician interpretation. In cases where multiple physicians will interpret results, the Task Manger automatically sends the appropriate patient results to each physician. Internal Task Notes can be attached to patient results and sent to colleagues. Tests can be routed to pulmonary fellows for preliminary review and then on to faculty staff for final interpretation. If reports need to be printed and sent to referring physicians, completed tests along with the interpretation can be forwarded to the department secretary for printing. In smaller centers, test results can be sent from the pulmonary lab directly to the attending physician. At his or her desk, the interpreting physician can log into the Task Manager and review a variety of customizable report formats and engage a personal template of interpretation text. The computer impression is available for referral as the interpretation is being considered. ComPAS has a multitude of beautifully organized and graphical report formats. At Morgan Scientific, we pride ourselves in after sales customer support. The ComPAS license gives you access to experts in pulmonary measurement and report design. We will be pleased to customize a report around your particular preferences. The Task Manager simply requires connectivity to the SQL database server. Further data distribution to hospital-wide information systems usually requires a specialized interface. Please contact us for further details. For larger facilities, ComPAS can be interfaced to the hospital-wide information system for purposes of data aggregration and billing.
