The spirometer uses the CareFusion Digital Volume Transducer, an
extremely stable form of volume transducer, which measures expired
air directly at B.T.P.S (Body Temperature and Pressure with Saturated
water vapour) thus avoiding the inaccuracies of temperature
corrections. This transducer is insensitive to the effects of
condensation and temperature and avoids the need for individual
calibration prior to performing a test.
CareFusion can supply spirometers to fulfil all your diagnostic and
monitoring spirometry needs.
