Standardization in spirometry Spirometry is the most common pulmonary function test. It is widely used in the assessment of lung function to provide objective information used in the diagnosis of lung diseases and monitoring lung health. In 2005, the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and the European Respiratory Society (ERS) jointly adopted technical standards for conducting…
From the age of five, children, with appropriate training, are able to perform technically acceptable spirometry maneuvers. In turn, medical personnel should be properly trained to perform spirometry tests on children. Bright and joyful atmosphere – age-appropriate toys, books, illustrations are very important for children to feel free and relaxed. Encouragement, avoidance of threats, detailed…
According to the latest World Health Organization (WHO) estimates, more than 60% of countries are currently implementing their own digital health technology, Electronic health records (EHRs), Electronic medical records (EMRs) and other e-health strategies, both nationally and regionally. The implementation of these strategies aims at promoting the improved quality of medical care through direct exchange…
In the Pulse oximetry mode, MAS2 spirometers record saturation (SpO2), heart rate (HR) and pulse waveform – photoplethysmogram. SpO2 and heart rate values are reflected in the standard protocol for spirometric studies on MAS2. Indications for computerized pulse oximetry are: obesity level 2 and above (body mass index >35), arterial hypertension grade 2 and above,…
The Asthma-Monitor software (software) provides the possibility of keeping an electronic diary – monitoring and statistical processing of the results of the study of respiratory function in patients when they are in a hospital (allergic, pulmonological, therapeutic profile), or in a day hospital. The Asthma-Monitor software automatically calculates the daily variability not only of PEF…
The principle of a professional examination is a screening at the place of work or residence, which takes place from year to year on the same spirometer. This allows all statistical processing to be performed directly in the spirometer itself, which is what MAS2 spirometers do with an expert assessment of the quality of tests.…
Capnometry (CO2 analysis) is the measurement of the concentration or partial pressure of carbon dioxide during breathing in the inhaled and exhaled gas mixture. In most functional diagnostics rooms, only spirometry is performed from the study of external respiration today. Spirometry however reveals mainly obstructive disorders and then only when the obstruction affects the bronchi…
The 6-minute walk test is currently the most common, well-standardized, and readily available stress test. The test uses an arbitrary walking speed, while the patient is asked to walk at his own pace as fast as he can and walk as long as possible for 6 minutes on a flat surface (along a corridor measured…
Pulse oximetry reliably records oxygenation disorders, including during sleep and allows for assessing their severity. Pulsar-M1 Pulse Oximeter with recording and saving in memory of SP02 values and pulse rate (PR) provides detection of hypoxia during 24 hours of patient observation (Monitoring option). For further differentiation of the nature of respiratory disorders associated with sleep,…
The VGA video interface allows displaying information both on a built-in screen of MAS2 autonomous diagnostic spirometer and on an external monitor (PC monitor, LCD panel, computer projector). This feature turns the spirometer into a demonstration and training system. MAS2 spirometer equipped with an additional external monitor (for example, a color LCD panel…
