Early detection and treatment of COPD can positively influence the disease course, therefore it is important to screen patients at risk. The PulmoLife COPD screening monitor can be used for a quick check of lung function to highlight sign of disease as early as possible.
Its features include a clear visible display and a choice of predicted values.

The COPD-6 identifies those at risk of COPD at pre-symptomatic stage to allow early medical intervention and improve clinical outcomes. This device screens out those whose FEV1 is normal, and so do not have COPD, without the risk of false COPD negatives, allowing spirometry resources to be focused on those at greatest risk. It displays FEV1, FEV6, ratio and % predicted, obstructive index, COPD classification and ‘lung age’. It has a built-in quality of blow indicator on a large, easy-to-read display. This device has an easy-to-clean flowhead and can be used with SafeTway mouthpieces.
