During spirometry testing, patients exhale bacteria and viruses. Without a filter, these bacteria and viruses are exhaled into your PFT equipment.    Futuremed’s new, economical bacterial filters effectively trap 99.99% of bacteria and 99.90% of virus, protecting your spirometer from expectorated matter. Their low resistance lets you preserve the accuracy of your spirometry testing.

What makes these filters unique is that each is packed individually and includes a separate mouthpiece made of soft plastic. This addition makes the filter durable, more resistant to moisture, and easier on your patient's lips. Futuremed filters are available for most pulmonary function testing instruments.

Spiropalm 6MWT is a new device that incorporates a spirometer with a pulse oximeter and ventilation monitor.

During a 6 Minute Walk Test, this compact and lightweight combination can be easily worn by a patient on a harness or a belt to collect real-time data. The resulting report provides clinicians with a cohesive and comprehensive means of evaluating 6-MWT results.

Features include:

• Continuous measurement of SpO2 & HR throughout the walking/exercise period makes the clinician aware of desaturation that may have occured during the 6 minute walk but which was reversed by the end of the test
• Measurement of Minute Ventilation (VE) and Breathing Pattern during walking
• Measurement of Breathing Reserve (BR) and evaluation of Ventilatory Limitation
• Evaluation of Dynamic Hyperinflation with Inspiratory Capacity (IC) measurement
• Complete spirometry including FVC, Pre/Post FVC comparison, Bronchial challenge test, MVV and SVC

• Bronchial Challenge Testing - Methacholine, cold air, or exercise can be used to induce bronchospasm and to identify and treat asthma.
• Pediatric Incentive - "Bubbles" encourages patients to perform tests properly so you have optimal results quickly and easily.
• Quality Control Messages - Software-driven messages help the technician recognize testing errors and validate a maneuver's technical quality.
• Alphanumeric Keyboard - Reports can be personalized with patient data, notes, and a header.
• Choice of Prediction Standards - Spiropalm is programmed with a choice of predicted normals, including NHANESIII, Knudson, ITS, Crapo, and other predicted sets.
