PULMONARY FUNCTION TESTING EXHALYZER ® D

COMPREHENSIVE PULMONARY FUNCTION TESTING Early detection of small airway disease such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis (CF) is of great importance for further disease progression. The EXHALYZER®D offers comprehensive possibilities for effective pulmonary function testing, including the most widely applied spirometry and more sensitive multiple breath washout, revealing detailed information on the small airways. Controlled by SPIROWARE® software, it is easy to use and meets highest standards of functionality. Used in research studies and clinical studies...

WIDE RANGE OF PULMONARY FUNCTION TESTS From tidal breathing analysis to inert gas washouts, from volumetric capnogra-phy to spirometry, the EXHALYZER®D offers various tests to assess lung function. is the most sensitive method to detect early lung disease. It can be carried out using the tracer gas SF6, typically applied on infants or 100% oxygen to washout the nitrogen in the lung (N2MBW).1,2 is the main outcome of the multiple breath washout. It describes the overall gas mixing efficiency of the lung. Further parameters can distinguish the location of ventilation inhomogeneity. presents a quick...

Multiple breath or single breath washouts measure the efficiency of gas mixing in the lung (FRC/LCI) and represent a very sensitive method for diagnosis of small airway disease. Nitrogen washouts as well as SF6 washouts are possible. For nitrogen washouts, the single and multiple breath technique can be applied.
