The Purpose of an Astra 300 Spirometer

The Purpose of an Astra 300 Spirometer

Spirometry plays a critical role in being able to manage and diagnose patients with respiratory conditions. Even so, this incredibly important tool may not be used as consistently as it could be, possibly due to a lack of high-quality, reliable equipment. However, thanks to the Astra 300 Spirometer, there is a way to offer accurate results and better treatment.





What Spirometers Do

Spirometry measures lung function by having a patient breathe in and out through a mouthpiece attached to the spirometer machine. This helps healthcare providers diagnose respiratory conditions such as asthma and cystic fibrosis, as well as helps them measure lung function over time for adjusting treatment and medications.

All spirometers measure the volume and speed of air that a patient is able to inhale and exhale and will all show specific types of breathing patterns, including normal, obstructive, and restrictive. However, not all spirometers are equal in quality, durability, or accuracy.

Why Use the Astra 300 Spirometer

The Astra 300 is a handheld spirometer that combines sophisticated technology with incredible ease of use. From this one unit, a healthcare provider can go well beyond testing and: Enter data into the unit Instantly review test results Send results Print a results report In addition to the above, the Astra 300 can be customized for greater testing and reporting capability. The touchscreen is bright to ensure easy reading and sensitive enough to allow instant access to a wide range of functions, including a graphical or tabular representation of testing data.

Spirometry Testing and Results Recording, Anywhere

The portability of the Astra 300 means that patients can be tested in the lab or a doctor’s office for any combination of 40 parameters. The device can be connected to any PC for interactive, real-time testing or connect wirelessly with optional Bluetooth. All testing results can be saved directly to a patient’s record or selected data printed in hard copy.

Easier and Higher-Quality Testing

The Astra 300 makes testing much easier for patients with its AccuFlo bi-directional digital turbine. Sapphire bearings ensure optimal performance, and the flow trigger algorithm allows tidal breathing before patient-exhale for easier testing. With assurance prompts for testing quality, the result is highly accurate testing.

Plenty of Included Materials

Along with all of the features and advantages above, the Astra 300 also includes several materials that allow you to begin using it almost as soon as it arrives. These materials include:

  • Turbine transducer
  • 2 cables for PC and external printer connections
  • Carrying case
  • AstraPro software
  • Viral/bacterial filters and nose clips
