Heated FVL

High Volume Research-Grade Spirometry Testing

The FVL is a pneumotachograph spirometer of exceptional caliber. The characteristics of its flow transducer with high descrimination and low resistance make it one of the finest spirometry devices in the world! Heating of the pneumotach make the FVL ideally suited to asthma clinics, clinical trials or situations where continuous high volume testing is undertaken. 

Screening Spirometry and More

A highly durable and accurate spirometer coupled to the world-renown ComPAS PFT Software. Remarkable performance across all 26 ATS flow volume waveforms makes this device ideally suited to patients of all ages and pulmonary conditions. The FVL will faciliate implementation of CFF guidelines for infection control in CF clinics, which suggest testing in examination rooms or allowing 30 minutes between patients for decontamination.

Flow Volume Loops

Through clever use of interactive help and clinical monitoring, ComPAS provides excellence in spirometry. Flow Volume efforts can be completed in any order of breathing with full fidelity of the loop captured and stored. For reports, data is automatically selected by ATS criteria; however, the user can override both data and loop selection if desired.

Incentive Screen - For testing young children, an incentive graphic animation is employed to encourage effort and response.

Heated FVL Features

  • Designed for high use with heated pneumotach and integrated Temperature & Barometric Pressure sensors
  • Simple USB connection
  • High discrimination Lilly-style flow pneumotach designed for the most compromised of respiratory patients

Simplicity and Accuracy

With ComPAS testing is as easy as 1, 2, 3…

  1. A simple touch on [Spacebar] begins all tests.
  2.  When maneuvers are completed, the software checks the individual effort against ATS recommended PERFORMANCE criteria. If the effort meets these test standards, a hollow check mark provides visual confirmation.
  3. Once the appropriate number of tests meet both PERFORMANCE and REPRODUCIBILITY criteria, solid check marks appear confirming that ATS standards have been met.
