Vitalograph copd-6 COPD screening device

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.

Vitalograph myPEF Peak Flow Meter

The web-enabled myPEF is supplied with a unique ID card allowing users access to a secure website where they can enter their PEF readings. This eliminates the need for paper records and supports data accuracy. Data trending and customised colour zones can provide pre-symptomatic indications of potential asthma exacerbations. It has easy-to-read graphical data display and report generation featuring plotting, trending and time stamping functions. Clinicians can be granted access to view patients’ PEF results online for reliable, cost-effective remote monitoring. Ergonomically designed for maximum comfort and ease of use.

Vitalograph SafeTway One-Way Valve Mouthpieces

The SafeTway® mouthpiece allows entry of expired air into the measuring system, but not back to the test subject. This simple, yet effective patented design allays concerns about 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.
The Mini SafeTway with a 22mm diameter mouthpiece is available for paediatric use or for older test subjects who have difficulty fitting their mouth properly around the standard-size mouthpiece.
Other similar generic one-way valve mouthpieces are available from suppliers.
