Do manufacturers of PFT systems “approve” the Vitalograph Eco BVF for their devices?

Add

Vitalograph Eco BVFs are suitable for all PFT systems and do not have to be approved for use. We ensure that our filters are independently tested and validated with all relevant certifications held for CE marking, in accordance with the EU Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC, as well as for other applicable standards.

Will the use of Eco BVFs (Bacterial Viral Filters) lead to measurement errors?

Add

The use of Eco BVFs does not give rise to errors in measurements from spirometers or PFT systems. It is important to note the following points:

  1. Resistance (Flow Impedance) of the filter: Vitalograph filters are well below the maximum resistance value recommended by international ATS/ERS/ISO 2019 Technical Standards.

  2. Vitalograph Eco BVFs have a comparatively small effective dead space of 55ml to improve the validity and consistency of testing and minimize rebreathing.

Are round or oval filter mouthpieces more suitable?

Add

The Vitalograph range includes both round and oval filter so that you can choose either. Vitalograph offer separate mouthpieces that can be attached to filters. These mouthpieces are available to order individually or as a kit with BVF and nose clip.

What are PFT Kits and are they needed?

Add

PFT Kits are made up from a combination of filter, nose-clip and various mouthpieces or adapters. They are a cost effective and convenient solution with all components in a single, easy to access pack.

Can a filter be re-used for multiple patients by using and disinfecting a separate mouthpiece?

Add

No. A new filter should be used for each patient.

Are adapters needed for Vitalograph Filters?

Add

In most cases the filter fits without requiring an adapter.  Speak to our team to learn more.
