The filter is used in spirometry testing, protecting the device from contamination by the patient - pathogens and aerosols generated during air inhalation into the device. It also increases the hygiene of the test by protecting both the patient and the device from cross-contamination. Different product variants ensure compatibility with most spirometers on the market (including Lungtest, Spirolab, Microlab, Aspel).
The most important features of Pulmeq's single-use filter are:
protects the patient from cross-infection
protects the spirometer from contamination
low expiratory flow resistance
one of the lowest on the market, dead space of the filter
