BODYPLETHYSMOGRAPHY

The MEC PFT Bodybox100 is specially designed to determine:

 

• Static and dynamic lung volumes: Spirometry / Flow-Volume
• Bodyplethysmographic: Intrathoracic Gas Volume (ITGV)
• Bodyplethysmographic: Airway Resistance (AWR)

 

Like all the MEC PFT Systems, the MEC BodyBox100 is upgradable and can be used with many options:

• Diffusion capacity single breath DLCO/TLCO
• Specific and non-specific Broncho challenge with PC20 PD20 levels
• Airway Mechanics:Resistances and Compliances
• Airway resistance with flow interruption, Rocc, Rint
• Po1, Pimax, Pemax, sniff test
• Respiratory drive and hypercapnic stimulus Po.1 and CO2 rebreathing
• ErgoSpirometry 12 leads ECG

• Fast (< 60sec) and reproducible results
• Large fully air-tight bodybox with large door
• Variable Orifice Membrane pneumotachometer VOM
• Fast and reliable acquisition system future technology minded
• Mobile customizable trolley with isolated power supply
• Powerful and flexible software.
• Reports available in Word, HTML, XML, PDF, etc.
• Export automatically the results to the hospital medical files
• Full HL7 compatibility.
• Comply to the ATS/ERS 2005 guidelines
• Fast Automatic calibration .
• Comply to the ATS/ERS 2005 guidelines

For the measurement off:

Spirometry/flow-volume, MVV, body plethysmography (resistance loop:SRawtot, SReff, Rawtot, Reff, Rin, Rex, lung volume: TGV, TLC, RV, RV%TLC ), ROCC, PImax/ PEmax/ P100, offline input of many configurable parameters (blood gas, patient questionaires, etc..)
