Product catalog summary
Overview of Pulmonary Function Tests
Pulmonary function tests are crucial for evaluating lung health, particularly in conditions such as asthma and COPD. The primary tests include Spirometry, which measures lung volume and flow; Lung Diffusion, which assesses oxygen transfer from alveoli to the bloodstream; and Body Plethysmography, which determines lung volume after deep inhalation and exhalation.

Importance of Bacterial Air Filters
Air filters play a vital role in pulmonary tests by protecting equipment and preventing cross-infection. They are essential for ensuring safety by filtering out infective droplets, especially for patients with chronic respiratory diseases.

GVS Spirometry Filters
GVS provides high-efficiency Spirometry Filters (Spiroguard) with a filtration efficiency of 99.9999% for particles as small as 0.027 microns. These filters are designed to prevent cross-contamination and are produced in a clean room environment.

Filter Specifications
The filters utilize electrostatically charged synthetic media to enhance particulate attraction, featuring low resistance and hydrophobic properties to reduce droplet contamination. Key specifications include:
  • Flow Resistance: < 30 Pa at 30 L/min
  • Filtration Efficiency: BFE 99.9999%, VFE 99.9998%
  • Effective Filtration Area: 60 cm²
  • Dead Space: 80 ml


Product Variants and Ordering Information
GVS offers various filter models, including those with integral mouthpieces and for peak flow meters. Each model is available in clinic clean or bulk packaging, with specific product codes for ordering.

Adaptors and Compatibility
A variety of adaptors are available to ensure compatibility with different lung function machines. The document provides a list of specific adaptors for various devices, ensuring the broad applicability of GVS filters.

GVS Lung Function Test Filters Pulmonary function tests are used to measure breathing and how well the lungs are functioning. The main tests carried out are Spirometry, Diffusion and Body Plethysmography. Spirometry is the most common of the lung function tests, measuring lung function, in particular the amount (volume) and/or speed (flow) of air that can be inhaled and exhaled. Spirometry is an important tool used to assess conditions such as asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, and COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). The spirometry test is performed using an instrument called...

Body plethysmography Body plethysmography is a pulmonary function test that determines how much air is in the patient’s lungs after taking a deep breath. It also measures the amount of air left in the lungs after the patient exhales as much as they can. Advantages of using Bacterial Air Filters for Pulmonary Function Testing Pulmonary tests require an Air Filter to be placed between the patient and the lung function equipment. The reasons for this are explained below: - To protect the equipment components, as infective droplets may be expelled and potentially degrade the equipment. - To minimize...
