Medgate’s Pulmonary Function Testing Module
Part of the Medgate Occupational Health Software Suite, the Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT) module is used to track and record employee pulmonary function tests. Practitioners can review results, add notes, select best test, capture details of the equipment used, track predicted values, and automatically calculate interpretation. Smoking history, symptoms, and restrictions can also be tracked.
Vitalograph’s Spirotrac® V software
Spirotrac® V Software combines the power of your PC, network and spirometer. Spirotrac V is compatible with a range of Vitalograph spirometers, each designed to meet your particular spirometry needs. If you prefer a PC-based spirometer the Pneumotrac is the one to choose. For a hand held spirometer the In2itive is ideal. The Alpha Touch is best if you need a touch screen desktop spirometer.
All Vitalograph spirometers feature a Fleisch Pneumotachograph for ultimate performance in accurate, linear and reliable flow and volume measurement
