DLCO PFT system

The Geratherm Respiratory Diffustik is the ideal measurement device for lung diffusion, offering reliable, reproducible results from an infrared fast gas analyser. Diffustik has been developed as part of a modular system which can be expanded with the addition of further modules. Thus the carbon monoxide diffusion capacity (DLCO) and accompanying spirometry parameters, such as flow-volume and MVV, can be enhanced with other diagnostically relevant values, such as MIP/MEP, Rocc/Rint or respiratory resistance and lung volumes, with the addition of hardware and software option. Large Swivel Range The height can be quickly adjusted over a wide range and allows measurements to be taken while standing or sitting. Modular Concept The CO diffusion can be expanded with further options such as MIP/MEP, Rocc /Rint or integrated into the Bodystik. Breathing Maneuver Feedback The patient’s cooperation of the breathing maneuver is evaluated according to ATS/ERS and feedback is given. Intuitive Software User-friendly with automatic interpretation Therefore, it is an indispensable tool in internal medicine and pneumology. By determining the diffusion capacity of the lungs through CO (DLco), interstitial lung diseases and vascular diseases can also be detected. Real-Time Gas-Analysator Real-time analysis of inspired gas eliminates the need to calibrate the system prior to testing, significantly reducing testing time. The easy-to-understand graphical representation throughout the test procedure helps the user to identify possible leaks, e.g. at the connection of the patient’s mouthpiece, and provides information about the lung anatomy.
