Cubic Gas Sensing Solutions for Pulmonary Function Tests

Enhancing Respiratory Diagnostics with Advanced Cubic Gas Sensors

Pulmonary function tests evaluate lung function and diagnose respiratory conditions. Two critical tests of pulmonary assessment are spirometry and the measurement of diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO). While spirometry evaluates how effectively the lungs inhale and exhale air, DLCO assesses the lungs' efficiency in transferring oxygen into the bloodstream. Cubic's advanced ultrasonic spirometry and NIDR DLCO solutions provide unparalleled performance in lung function and recovery applications.

Spirometry is the measurement of lung function by monitoring the rate at which air can be inhaled and exhaled. Cubic provides two complete spirometry sensing solutions: Gasboard 7021 for residential use, and Gasboard 7020 for hospital use to provide rapid and accurate readout of critical respiratory parameters including VC (vital capacity), FVC (forced vital capacity) and MVV (maximum ventilatory volume). Developed based on ultrasonic technology, Cubic spirometry sensing solutions realize long lifespan without the necessity of calibration and maintenance. And both spirometry sensing solutions offer graphic real-time data display and history records checking for better patient information management and tracking. Both Gasboard 7021 and Gasboard7020 can be used to monitor static vital capacity, forced vital capacity and maximum voluntary ventilation rate. Accompanying software not only facilitates automatic BTPS (Body Temperature and Pressure Saturated) correction but also offers comprehensive evaluations of pulmonary functions, further streamlining the respiratory assessment process.

For a more comprehensive evaluation of pulmonary health, DLCO test is also used in complementary to assess lung function by measuring the difference in partial pressure between inspired and expired carbon monoxide (CO). Based on NDIR technology, Cubic has developed an advanced gas sensor, Gasboard-2050, specifically designed to measure the diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide in the lungs. Utilizing a mechanically chopped IR source, Gasboard-2050 boasts a rapid response time (under 300 milliseconds). Enhanced with an algorithm that compensates for temperature and pressure variations, the device exhibits exceptional accuracy and remarkable stability across a vast spectrum of atmospheric conditions including fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels. Beyond its fundamental capabilities, Gasboard-2050 features a modular design that simplifies assembly processes, ensures good availability, and supports mass production. Due to its exceptional precision and reliability, Cubic DLCO sensor Gasboard-2050 serves as an invaluable instrument for medical professionals, enabling them to assess a diverse range of respiratory conditions.
