What Is The LungLife Used For?
The Lunglife is a device intended for measuring lung function. It can be used by a
healthcare professional or assistant as a rapid pre-spirometry test to screen-out at-risk individuals
that do not have COPD and indicate those that may be at risk of COPD at the pre-symptomatic stage
of the disease. This “screening” or “case selection” for full spirometry examinations may result in
earlier medical intervention and facilitate better clinical outcomes.
