The PFT Systems Diff is specially designed to determine:
Static and dynamic lung volumes Spirometry / Flow-Volume
Diffusion capacity single breath DLCO/TLCO
Alveolar volume
FRC with gas dilution and static lung volumes.
Pulmonary gas distribution during expiration
Comfort for your patients and for you:
The Apnea Time is often a real handicap for COPD-Patients therefore we offer short breath-hold time option, interruptible down to 6 seconds.
The PFT Systems Diff records the respiratory pressure during a breath holding manoeuvre of the Single Breath Diffusion test (Monitoring of alveolar pressure).
The exhaled gas concentration-slopes give important information about the test validity and about the uneven gas distribution into the respiratory airways.
Even with Alveolar Volumes down to 0.8 Liters, Diffusion Capacity Measurement is possible, thus the PFT Systems Diff is well suited for restrictive syndromes and Pediatrics.
A Fast-Space balancing method is used for effective FRC, RV, TLC determination by CH4 gas dilution techniques
Cost effectiveness:
No working costs, no need for disposable products or accessories.
Cheap Preventive Maintenance Contract proposed for 2 years and special conditions for 5 years.
The Diffusion100 needs only one technical revision a year.
No gas loss for calibration or flushing patient circuit between tests.
Automatic calibration of reference and diffusion-gases happens during the inspiration of the gases.
A 10-liter cylinder (@150 bar) stands for ca. 300 to 500 tests.
