The Central Iowa Health Care System is seeking information about American-manufactured spirometers for market research purposes. The desired spirometer should be compact, desktop, and suitable for loading and transportation by a PFT therapist via automobile. It should provide spirometry testing, lung volume measurements, and DLCO single-breath diffusing capacity measurements. The spirometer should also meet various standards, including ATS/ERS standards and FDA clearance for clinical diagnostic use. The system should include required accessories, such as a carry case, DLCO gas regulators, and a 3-liter calibration syringe.
Some key features of the desired spirometer include:
• Weight range: 10-25 lb
• Dimensions: 20-24" H x 18.5-20" D x 12-15" W
• Flow sensor range: 0-18 L/s
• Multi-gas analyzer response time: no greater than 1 minute
• Automated calibration/zeroing and warm-up time: less than 10 minutes
• Operating temperature range: 65-75 F
• Touchscreen interface: 8-12" HD
• Data export formats: standard formats, such as PDF, CSV, and JSON
• HL7-compliant interfaces for integration with electronic health record systems
