Xpiro

Xpiro is a modern ultrasonic spirometer for evaluation of the pulmonary function.

It helps to record, display and analyze the flow rate and volume in real time, providing the doctor with accurate data even without daily calibration.

Application

Xpiro is intended for diagnosis, monitoring and evaluation of the pulmonary function in adult and pediatric patients. Spirometry is a noninvasive measurement of pulmonary function parameters which is widely used for:

• Diagnosis of respiratory disorders (asthma, COPD, etc.)
• Monitoring of the patient’s condition and evaluation of treatment effectiveness
• Occupational health check
• Clinical and epidemiological studies
• Preoperative risk assessment
• Preventive and screening examinations
• Estimation of lung age

Pulmonary function tests:

• VC
• FVC
• MV
• MVV
• Bronchodilator and provocation tests

How Does It Work?

The difference between the transit times of the ultrasonic waves is the flow rate

The spirometer measures the flow rate using the ultrasonic waves. Two miniature ultrasonic sensors inside the spirometer send the signal through the flow. The signal that travels in the same direction with the flow is thus accelerated, while the other signal that travels in the counter direction with the flow is slowed down. Xpiro uses the difference in transit time of these two signals to accurately calculate the flow rate independently of ambient temperature and humidity.

With ultrasound technology, precise spirometry measurements without device calibration became possible.

Reliability with Patient’s Comfort in Mind

Guaranteed comfort for the patient with an anatomically designed reusable mouthpiece.

The Spiro-Spectrum software is the familiar interface with an intuitive workflow:

• Automatic quality control and reproducibility monitoring for spirometry
• Standard FEV1 and FEV quality codes
• Follow-up control of selected parameters to monitor the patient’s condition
• Express test implemented — a forced expiration test intended particularly for screening
• Automatic result assessment using GLI-2012 (2021) equations to compute the lower limit of normal values and z-score criterion
• Interactive animation to help children perform a forced maneuver better
• Built-in questionnaires for control and assessment of asthma (including in pediatric patients), COPD and shortness of breath
• Automatic saving of exam data to the report
• Summary table of maneuver data within each test includes all parameters that are automatically calculated by the software
• Customizable test reports. You can also use pre-defined report templates with a glossary to generate the report more quickly

The built-in weather station measures ambient temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure before each test.
