SPIROMETRY

It is a testing how well your lungs are working by measuring how fast and how much air can breath in and out.Spirometry is helpful in assessing breathing patterns that identify conditions such as asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, and COPD.Spirometry generates graphs, which are charts that plot the volume and flow of air coming in and out of the lungs from one inhalation and one exhalation.

NEED OF SPIROMETRY

To diagnose or manage asthma,

To detect respiratory disease in patients presenting with symptoms of breathlessness,

To distinguish respiratory from cardiac disease as the cause,

To diagnose and differentiate between obstructive lung disease and restrictive lung disease,

To measure response to treatment of conditions which spirometry detects,

To diagnose the vocal cord dysfunction,

SPIROMETERThe device used for spirometry is called Spirometer.

MicroLoop spirometer is highly portable, allowing it to be used in physicians' offices or for bedside testing. MicroLoop spirometer can be connected to Micro Medical Spirometry PC software, allowing trending,reporting and data sharing with your Electronic Health Record (EHR).MicroLoop spirometer's functions can be easily accessed using the high definition colour touch screen.

SpiroUSB™ is a revolutionary new type of Spirometer that plugs directly into the USB port of your PC.It do not require any additional data uploading.Using a Notebook computer with the SpiroUSB brings complete portability for physicians' offices or for bedside testing.

MicroLab spirometer's functions can be easily accessed using the high definition color touch screen.MicroLab spirometer is highly portable, allowing it to be used in physicians' offices or for bedside testing.It contain printer that prints high resolution’s result.

SPIROMETRY PC SOFTWARESPCS is an easy-to-use spirometry data collection and database system that has been designed to meet the needs of the busy clinician and healthcare provider.Spirometry PC software is a software program developed by care fusion.The most common version is 1.5.0.0 with over 98% of the installations currently using this version.The setup package generally install 36 files and usually about 38.5 mb.About 78% users of SPCS come from the US.It is also popular in Brazil and Portugal.

SPIROMETRY PC SOFTWARE

The multi window display allows patients to be tested with the minimal number of steps - ease of use.Tests are displayed with clear color coding of each blow. SPCS can be used to test patients real-time or results can be uploaded from a Micro Direct spirometer to the SPCS database for storage, printing and trending.
