What condition is this spirometer especially suitable for?
Answer:
This spirometer is especially suitable for testing and monitoring COPD in adult smokers. COPD, or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, is a progressive lung disease that makes it hard to breathe, and early detection and monitoring can significantly improve management and outcomes. This suitability is valuable because it ensures the device is tailored for a high-risk group that benefits most from early detection.
What does this spirometer measure?
Answer:
This spirometer measures FEV1, FEV1% predicted, and provides a “Lung Age” estimation. FEV1 stands for Forced Expiratory Volume in one second, which is a key indicator of lung function. The “Lung Age” estimation helps users understand the condition of their lungs compared to typical lung health for their age, making it easier to see the impact of habits like smoking. These features are valuable because they provide clear, quantitative feedback on lung health, which can motivate positive lifestyle changes.
What is “Lung Age” and why is it important?
Answer:
“Lung Age” is an estimate provided by the spirometer that compares a patient’s measured lung function to the average lung function for a healthy person of the same age. This feature is especially useful for showing smokers the potential damage caused by smoking and can be a strong motivator for smoking cessation. It adds value by translating complex lung function data into an easy-to-understand metric.
Can this spirometer help with smoking cessation?
Answer:
Yes, the device’s “Lung Age” estimation is specifically designed to help encourage smoking cessation by visually demonstrating the impact of smoking on lung health. This feature is valuable because it provides a tangible reason for users to quit smoking and improve their long-term health.
Is this spirometer handheld?
Answer:
Yes, this spirometer is a handheld device. Being handheld means it is portable and can be easily used in different locations, which is convenient for both clinical settings and at-home monitoring.
