tremoflo C-100 Brochure - English Edition

Product catalog summary

Overview of Airwave Oscillometry: The document introduces the tremoflo C-100, a device designed for assessing pulmonary function through airwave oscillometry. It emphasizes the device's portability, ease of use, and ability to provide detailed information on small airway function, which is crucial for early detection of conditions like asthma and COPD.

Key Features:

Tidal Breathing: The device operates without requiring forced expiration, making it suitable for a wide range of patients.
Fast & Easy Testing: Tests can be completed in a few minutes, with automated workflows and easy daily calibration taking less than 30 seconds.
Compact & Portable: Weighing only 700 grams, the device is highly portable.
Adult & Pediatric Use: Normative values are provided for both demographics.
Intra-Breath Analysis: Offers detailed inspiratory and expiratory analysis.

Importance of Small Airways: The document highlights the significance of monitoring small airways, which are often affected early in diseases like asthma and COPD. Early detection can occur before symptoms or changes in spirometry and imaging are evident.

Measurement Principles: The tremoflo C-100 uses oscillator technology and the Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) to assess respiratory mechanics. It provides insights into central and peripheral airway resistance and reactance, which are crucial for understanding respiratory function.

Clinical Applications: The device is useful for:

Assessing peripheral airway impairment, even in young children.
Monitoring small airway function to identify patients at risk of losing asthma control.
Discriminating between asthma and COPD by analyzing inspiratory and expiratory resistance and reactance.
Measuring response to bronchodilators in asthma and COPD patients.

Expert Opinions: The document includes expert opinions supporting the clinical relevance of oscillometry in respiratory assessment and management.

Technical Specifications: The device features a patented breathe-through vibrating mesh, adjustable measurement duration, and a bacterial/viral filter with an integrated mouthpiece. It meets and exceeds specific European Respiratory Journal standards.

Regulatory and Contact Information: The device is restricted to sale by or on the order of a licensed practitioner. Contact details for the head office in Montreal, Canada, and the European office in Germany are provided.

Airwave Oscillometry Fundamentals tremoflo measurements are fast and easy. The patient just breathes quietly. The Importance of Small Airways The tremoflo C-100 provides information related to small airway function. “The small airways are frequently involved early in the course of [asthma and COPD] diseases, with significant pathology demonstrable often before the onset of symptoms or changes in spirometry and imaging.” To assess respiratory function, the tremoflo adds a gentle oscillatory wave to the patient’s regular, quiet breathing. A short measurement duration of only 20 seconds allows three...

Actual tremoflo Data A simple green-to-red gauge scale clearly shows whether patients fall within or outside normative values that are available for pediatrics and adults. Pre/Post Test Asthma Patient COPD Patient Expert Opinions Oscillometry offers “an in-office tool that can assess peripheral airway impairment even in young children and may detect airway obstruction earlier than spirometry.” Galant et al., AAAI 2017 “Monitoring small airway function by [Oscillometry] can be useful in identifying patients who are at risk for losing asthma control, and in assisting with clinical decisions and...
