Pulmonary Function testing equipment is a tool used to assess how well the respiratory system is functioning. The patient will breath into the spirometer and the software is able to determine how well the patients lungs are working. The requested equipment includes the spirometer, calibration adapter, bacterial filters and mouthpieces and a laptop for the software to be downloaded for interpretation, storage of results and as a way to send results to physicians.

Spirometry is a common test used to assess how well lungs work by measuring how much air a person inhales, how much they exhale and how quickly they exhale. It is part of a pulmonary function test.

Spirometry is used to diagnose asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other conditions that affect breathing. Spirometry may also be used periodically to monitor a lung condition and check whether a treatment for a chronic lung condition is helping the patient breathe better.

When conducting some clinical trials, a pulmonary function test is required to assess the patients current lung function. Many of our asthma, allergy, cystic fibrosis and endocrine research teams use this measurement as a tool to ensure safety during the clinical trial, to assess how well the clinical trial is working and to provide a measurement that shows if the drug or treatment being investigated is beneficial.
