Spirometry
Clement Clarke have used their respiratory expertise to develop a wide range of Spirometers. A Spirometer is a device that measures lung volumes, through the forced expiration of air in a patients' lungs. Spirometer readings are accurate and there are well-defined normal ranges that allow for the effects of age, sex and height.
Spirometers can be used for the following tasks:
- Distinguishing between obstructive disorders (COPD, Asthma) and restrictive disorders
- Diagnosing and evaluating the severity of COPD and other lung diseases
- Assessing the extent of abnormalities
- Judging responses to therapy
- Determining progression of lung diseases
The standard measurements that our Spirometer's perform are:
- Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF)
(The maximum amount of airflow from a patient during a forced expiration)
- Forced Expired Volume in One Second (FEV1)
(How much air can be exhaled in the first second of exhalation)
The One Flow FVC Screen and FVC Memo models both measure PEF, FEV1 and the following measurements:
- Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)
(The maximum volume of air that can be forcibly expired)
- Ratio of FEV1/FVC as %
(The proportion of total volume that can be expired in the first second of expiration)
Infection Control
Clement Clarke International offers a wide range of products that help to prevent cross infection between patients. Infections caught by patients while in hospital are costing the NHS over £1 billion pounds each year. Clement Clarke's products aim to prevent infection, our Anti-Bacterial Pulmonary Filters trap 99.99% of bacteria and viruses. Clement Clarke's Accessories range includes:
- Anti-Bacterial Pulmonary Filters
- Disposable Expiratory One Way Valve Mouthpieces
