MGC Diagnostics · Model CPFS/D USB
Ease of use. Timely prompts guide the operator through the entire testing process. PreVent flow sensor eliminates warm-up or recalibration between patients. Trend reports allow printing and graphing data from previous patient visits so that progress can be monitored. Automated quality-assurance program notifies operator to ensure results comply with ATS/ERS acceptability criteria. BreezeSuite™ cardiopulmonary diagnostic software allows physicians to access data and interpret patient results from any computer that has permission to access the facility network (VPN).
