Description of product
Spirobank Oxi
is a pocket-sized system for measuring the
following respiratory parameters:
•
PEF (Peak Expiratory Flow)
•
FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 sec)
•
FVC (Forced Vital Capacity)
•
FEF2575 (Average flow between 25% and 75% of the FVC)
•
FEV6 (Volume expired in the initial 6 seconds of the test)
•
FEV1/FVC (Tiffeneau index)
The device also measures the parameters related to the oximetry
test in particular:
•
SpO2 (percentage of oxygen saturation in the blood)
•
BPM (heart rate)
The device connects to a smartphone via Bluetooth SMART technology. Connection is automatic
once the
MIR SPIROBANK
application has been installed on the smartphone.
Measurement is performed by a turbine sensor, and is based on
the infrared interruption principle. This principle ensures that the
measurement is accurate and reproducible.
The advantages of this type of sensor are:
•
Unaffected by the humidity and density of the gas
•
Shockproof and unbreakable
•
Inexpensive to replace
Spirobank Oxi
can use either the FlowMir® disposable turbine or
the reusable turbine with plastic mouthpiece.
The
F/V
version calculates also the following parameters:
•
FIVC -
Forced Inhalation Vital Capacity
•
FIV1 -
Forced Inspiratory Volume in the 1st second
•
PIF -
Peak Inspiratory Flow
•
FEF25 -
Forced Expiratory Flow at 25% of FVC
•
FEF50 -
Forced Expiratory Flow at 50% of FVC
•
FEF75 -
Forced Expiratory Flow at 75% of FVC
•
EVol -
Extrapolated Volume
