Body plethysmography - the gold standard in lung function diagnostics
Body plethysmography allows detailed diagnosis, classification and monitoring of lung diseases and expands the diagnostic value of spirometry. Therefore, it is an indispensable tool in internal medicine and pneumology. Measuring total lung volume (TLC) or residual volume (RV) is essential for distinguishing between restrictive and obstructive lung disease. The diagnosis and classification of obstructive pulmonary diseases such as COPD or asthma can be supported by measuring airway resistance and airway content.
Focus on comfort
Both the extremely low door step and the unique design of the chair, which can be swiveled out by 60 degrees, simplify access to the cabin for the elderly and disabled. Patients can sit down outside the cabin and be swung in comfortably for testing – also ideal for wheelchair users. For an optimal position, the stand can be electronically positioned at the correct height from the outside at any time.
Optimal patient care
Patient comfort is enhanced with ESD glazing on all sides and top, allowing for an clear view of the surroundings and a light, comfortable feel inside. The glass panels allow for clear visual communication, which goes hand in hand with the integrated intercom, which allows the patient to clearly hear the user's instructions during the testing phase.

The reference values GLI 2020, GLI 2017, GLI 2012, ECCS 1993, NHANES III, Zapletal and many more are available. These can be displayed as absolute reference values, LLN, ULN, but also in relation to the measured values as % reference and Z score.
Yes, the data can be stored on a central SQL database. This means that the data can be accessed from several computers. The Spirostik Blue can be used together with other devices from Geratherm Respiratory in a network via the common BLUE CHERRY® software platform.
