-The
copd-6 identifies those at risk of COPD at the pre-symptomatic stage to allow
early medical intervention and facilitate better clinical outcomes.
-This
pioneering device screens out those whose FEV1 is normal, and who therefore do
not have COPD, without the risk of false COPD negatives, allowing spirometry
resources to be focused on those most at risk.
Key Features
-For
the early detection of COPD – quickly, simply and accurately
-Identifies
those at risk of COPD at the pre-symptomatic stage to allow early medical
intervention and facilitate better clinical outcomes
-Screens
out those whose FEV1 is normal, and who therefore do not have COPD, without the
risk of false COPD negatives
-Facilitates
‘case selection’ so that spirometry resources can be focused on those most
likely to be diagnosed with COPD
-Monitors
COPD patients using their ‘number’, the obstructive index, FEV1 as a percent of
predicted
-Displays
FEV1, FEV6, ratio and % predicted, obstructive index, COPD classification and
lung age
-Built-in
quality of blow indicator on a large, easy to read display
-Easy
to clean flowhead
-Can
be used with hygienic SafeTway mouthpieces or a BVF
-Displays
the GOLD COPD classification (stage I – IV) to help recognise the need for a
change in the patient’s management plan
-Requires
only minimal instruction for use by non-respiratory specialists
