A COPD screening device reporting FEV1 & “Lung Age”
Simple and easy to use, the PulmoLife offers a practical solution for COPD testing in adult smokers. A quick test using the PulmoLife measures and shows the patients’ FEV1 and FEV1% predicted results² on its high visibility display. FEV1 is strongly recommended as the measurement of choice in COPD screening and the percentage of the result against predicted values can be used to help determine the level of severity of disease³.
The PulmoLife uses these results to calculate and display an optional “Lung Age” estimation⁴. This is an equivalent “Lung Age” based upon the FEV1% predicted results and can be used to show smokers the physical damage caused by smoking and encouraging smoking cessation. Smokers are at the greatest risk for developing COPD and decline in lung function in susceptible smokers has been shown to be twice of non-smokers⁵.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is often undiagnosed in its early stages, especially in smokers, who are most at risk; and as a result, not receiving treatment. Since early detection and treatment of COPD can positively influence the disease course, it is important to screen those patients at risk. The PulmoLife is the ideal tool to use as a quick check of lung function to highlight signs of disease as early as possible.

Untethered six-minute walk test
Vyntus™ WALK allows patients to perform an untethered six-minute walk test (6MWT) by wearing wireless sensors that communicate data to a technician-held tablet PC. Standardize testing to the recommended is 6MWT protocol, because consistent testing yields consistent data for comparison
The system is both patient- and technician-friendly and because we know a single sensor does not fit all clinical needs, comes with an array of easy-to-wear sensors. Because standardizing the complete testing process is critical to meaningful data for patient trending, Vyaire has integrated the complete ATS testing standards in the workflow-driven tablet software application.
Vyntus™ BODY Plethysmograph
People come in all shapes and sizes, so we designed Vyntus BODY to accommodate the most patients without increasing the cabin footprint. Many enhancements were incorporated to make Vyntus BODY accessible and user friendly for both patients and technicians.
Vyntus BODY employs much of the same breakthrough technology found in the Vyntus ONE, but with a redesigned breathing circuit and our new Ultrasonic Sensor Technology.
In addition, Vyntus BODY is enhanced with additional innovation such as digital pressure compensation, which helps to reduce environmental influences and improves measurement accuracy.
Phototherapy positioning aid
Effectiveness – combined with security and stability with our Bilitex positioning aid specifically developed for phototherapy. The little patients are prone to stretch patterns and nervous movements, particularly during therapeutic phases. This is due to lack of muscle tone and the unbounded surroundings, which cost a lot of energy. With the Bilitex positioning aid, the preemie experiences a secure and flexible environment during therapy, which allows the infant to adopt a relaxing position.
The innovative textile material features a special mesh structure with 85% permeability to the high-intensity radiation spectrum. In addition, the knit fabric is very soft and breathable – the desired size can be individually adjusted using a flexible closure (Velcro®). The product is developed in cooperation with the University Hospital in Tubingen. It is tested and certified according to Oeko-Tex®Standard 100.
Our prone positioning cushions support the infant in a position that is oriented towards the body’s centre line and promote a better balance between the flexor and extensor muscles. The cushion is shaped to support the natural curvature of the shoulders, hand-mouth coordination and optimum alignment of the head and body. The little patients thus achieve a relaxed, flexed position without exerting too much pressure on the knees and elbows. Cut-outs on either side of the prone-positioning cushion allow the baby’s bent arms to rest. The support provided to the pelvis makes it easier to pull up the legs.
