Spirometer

PS-2152

Introduction

The PASPORT Spirometer allows students to collect accurate air-flow data from a pulmonary 
function test (PFT). The subject breathes through a sanitary, single-use mouthpiece as data is 
recorded and displayed on your computer or PASPORT interface. From the graphed data 
students can measure tidal volume, forced expiratory volume, and other important lung 
volumes and capacities.
