The Morgan TransAir

Clinical excellence and proven reliability at a very affordable price! The TransAir has been thoughtfully engineered to make the most of strength, serviceability and size. It is particularly well suited to small office locations or applications requiring frequent transport. It is designed to provide long service with minimal maintenance cost! Service and routine component replacement are minimal. Mounted on a multi-positional support arm, the single valve assembly easily adjusts to any comfortable height.

The valve to beat all valves

The ergonomic and efficient TransAir valve assembly is the very model of design excellence. Pneumatic operation ensures faultless performance over years of testing. The entire assembly can be disassembled in less than a minute for cold sterilization. However, in recent epidemiological studies using viral filters, it was proven that these valves required no attention at all even after thousands of operations.

Results in half the time

A complete series of pulmonary function tests including Flow Volume Loops, Slow Vital Capacity, Lung Volumes and Single Breath Diffusion can be completed in 15 to 18 minutes. The Total Lung Capacity is measured at the same time as Single Breath Diffusion thus saving all the time usually required for multibreath dilutional methods. Moisture and carbon dioxide reagents can be replenished by the user when necessary, rather than the expensive practice of being required to use proprietary pre-packaged containers.

N2 Dilution Theory

Nitrogen recovery is a gas dilution technique for measuring lung volumes. Since N2 is resident in the lung at all times, it has an infinite time to reach whatever communicating airways it can. During the performance of DLCO, the subject exhales to residual volume (all the way empty) and then breathes-in diffusion gas until completely full (TLC). The new N2 from the DLCO mixture rapidly mixes with the N2 that was in the residual volume and thus TLC can be directly measured. The technique assumes the partial pressure of CO2 in the alveoli at the start of the test. Using Dalton's Law of partial pressures, the CO2 can be corrected by the software, or alternatively, a separate measure of PACO2 (alveolar CO2) can improve accuracy on patients with COPD.

Simplicity of Use

The TransAir is perhaps the most complete, yet simple to operate, pulmonary system on the market today. Typically, technicians are able to complete full testing with as little as 1 hour of instruction. The ComPAS Freedom™ software provides a beautifully illustrated HTML Help Manual and background information on the physiology and scientific techniques employed in pulmonary function testing. All tests are detailed with pictorial guides and routine maintenance and service help is also included. The TransAir is very popular with users. Not only is it small and user-friendly, it is a reliable troublefree partner in patient testing.
