Introducing Vitalograph’s Pneumotrac with RMS

Multiple respiratory diagnostics. One portable device.

An enhanced diagnostics solution that combines highly accurate Respiratory Muscle Strength and Spirometry testing in one robust, portable device.

The Pneumotrac™ with RMS (Respiratory Muscle Strength) is a PC-based system that combines respiratory muscle strength measurements and spirometry – offering multiple testing possibilities on a single device, as portable as your laptop. It can be used in various settings such as in-clinic on a desk, or it can be placed on a trolley with a laptop for use at bedside.

The importance of Respiratory Muscle Strength testing

Assessing respiratory mechanics and muscle function is critical for both clinical practice and research purposes. It is particularly useful in patients with neuromuscular diseases to contribute to diagnosis and to assess treatment efficiency. The American Thoracic Society (ATS) suggest routine evaluation of FVC, MIP, MEP, and PCF for patients with Duchenne-type muscular dystrophy (DMD).

Provides the full range of respiratory diagnostic tests

The Pneumotrac™ with RMS is a powerful and flexible respiratory diagnostic device. Alongside detailed spirometry testing, it provides a non-invasive and simple approach to mouth pressure and nasal pressure measurements in both adults and paediatrics. It can be used to
  • assess diaphragmatic weakness in patients with neuromuscular disease (NMD)
  • assess respiratory muscle strength in patients undergoing pulmonary rehabilitation e.g., COPD patients
  • monitor the response of respiratory muscle training

All the benefits of the market-leading Pneumotrac Spirometer with the addition of RMS measurements

Easily Interpreted Results

  • Overlay of successive curves for consistent results.
  • Multiple options for displaying of graphs.
  • Fast evaluation of results with %Predicted comparison.
  • Customisable pdf reports.

Exceptional Test Accuracy

  • A high resolution of 0.1 cmH20 has superior accuracy when compared to similar devices

Onscreen Testing Guidance

  • Instant test quality feedback as per ATS/ERS guidelines ensuring maximum pressure sustained for 1 second can be recorded.
  • Repeatability feedback for rapid and easy testing.
  • Real-time display of pressure/time curve on Spirotrac® 6 software

Hygienically Efficient

  • Low running costs and environmentally friendly: no costly disposable sensors, turbines, or flow tubes.
  • Single-use Vitalograph Bacterial Viral Filters (BVF™) with validated cross-contamination efficiency >99.999%, protect device, patient, and operator

Vitalograph BVFs offer premium protection making spirometry testing safe and efficient, for everyone.

The bacterial viral filters contain 60% less plastic and require less energy to produce, reducing their overall carbon footprint.

Like all Vitalograph Spirometry solutions, the Pneumotrac with RMS can be used with single-use Bacterial Viral Filters which protect the subject and healthcare professional from cross-contamination.
