Descriptions
- For the early detection of COPD – quickly, simply and accurately
- Identifies those at risk of COPD at the pre-symptomatic stage to allow early medical intervention and facilitate better clinical outcomes
- Screens out those whose FEV1 is normal, and who therefore do not have COPD, without the risk of false COPD negatives
- Facilitates ‘case selection’ so that spirometry resources can be focused on those most likely to be diagnosed with COPD
- Monitors COPD patients using their ‘number’, the obstructive index, FEV1 as a percent of predicted
- Displays FEV1, FEV6, ratio and % predicted, obstructive index, COPD classification and lung age
- Built-in quality of blow indicator on a large, easy to read display
- Can be used with hygienic Vitalograph Bacterial Viral Filters (eco BVF)
- Displays the GOLD COPD classification (stage I – IV) to help recognise the need for a change in the patient’s management plan
- Requires only minimal instruction for use by non-respiratory specialists
