Description
QRS SpiroCard Spirometer
Â
Â
The SpiroCard exceeds the ATS/ERS Task Force: Standardization of Lung Function Testing 2005.
Â
| Parameter | ATS | QRS SpiroCard |
| FVC Accuracy FVC Precision | 3.0% 3.5% | Less than 0.2% Less than 1.3% |
| FEV1 Accuracy FEV1 Precision | 3.0% 3.5% | Less than 0.04% Less than 1.9% |
| PEF Accuracy PEF Precision | 10.0% 5.0% | Less than 2.0% Less than 0.8% |
*According to LDS Hospital Independent Test 2000; Based upon ATS Standardization Of Spirometry 1994.
Â
Â
Standards – The SpiroCard provides effective diagnostic tests and meets the following Standards:
- American Thoracic Society (ATS/ERS) 2005 Standard
- British Thoracic Society (BTS) Standard
- National Institute for Health & Clinical Excellence (NICE) Guidelines
Â
Lung Age Calculation – Lung age is calculated for patients ages 20-84. It is equal to the predicted FEV1 that matches the patient’s actual FEV1. Lung age may differ based on the predicted equation chosen.
Patented, Pre-Calibrated Mouthpiece – With the SpiroCard spirometry system, everything the patient touches is thrown away. No sterilization or calibration is necessary, saving time for nurses, therapist and physicians.
No Batteries Required – The SpiroCard draws its power from the PC it is connected to via USB port.
Â
Â
The SpiroCard comes equipped with everything you need to begin testing.
- Â SpiroCard
- Â QRS Pre-Calibrated Mouthpieces, 2
- Â Pressure Tubes, 2
- Â USB Adapter
- Â Office Medic Software
Â
Also included with the SpiroCard is a three-year warranty.Â
