Frequently asked questions
Does this spirometer require calibration or sterilization?
No, the QRS Orbit Spirometer is engineered for efficiency and maximum hygiene, significantly simplifying the testing workflow by eliminating the need for routine sterilization and component calibration.
- Elimination of Sterilization: The system utilizes disposable nose-clips and pre-calibrated mouthpieces for all patient contact points. This design completely eliminates the need for manual sterilization, saving clinical time and minimizing cross-contamination risks.
- Pre-Calibrated Components: By using disposable, pre-calibrated mouthpieces, routine calibration is not required, further streamlining operation.
- Verification Capability: While not routinely needed, the device does support standard calibration checks, including the ATS 3-speed capability, to ensure continuous adherence to high standards like ATS/ERS 2005.
What is included in the Standard Kit?
The Standard Kit (#Z-7000-0101) provides the core diagnostic unit, essential software, and initial disposable components needed to begin spirometry testing immediately.
This kit typically includes:
- QRS Orbit Spirometer Unit: The main compact, portable, and PC-powered diagnostic device.
- Office Medic Software: Required for testing, unlimited data storage, analysis, and generating EMR-compatible reports (PDF, JPEG, TIFF).
- Initial Disposable Supplies: These supplies ensure hygienic testing and include:
- (2) Pre-Calibrated Mouthpieces
- (5) Nose-Clips
- (2) Pressure Tubes
How does the spirometer ensure patient safety and hygiene?
The QRS Orbit Spirometer is engineered for superior patient safety and hygiene through its use of disposable components. This design simplifies operation and reduces liability:
- Minimized Cross-Contamination: Patient-contact items, including pre-calibrated mouthpieces and nose-clips, are disposable and discarded after each use, significantly reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
- Eliminates Sterilization: By relying on disposables, the device completely removes the time and labor associated with traditional sterilization and on-site calibration procedures, ensuring the unit is always ready for use.
Does the software integrate with EMRs?
Yes, the QRS Orbit Spirometer utilizes the Office Medic software suite, which is essential for seamless data management and EMR integration. This connectivity enhances clinical workflow by providing several key features:
- EMR Compatibility: Reports are easily transferable to EMR systems in common formats like PDF, JPEG, and TIFF.
- Vast Data Storage: Diagnostic results are instantly stored in a central database, offering virtually unlimited capacity depending on the host PC (an average laptop can hold over 100,000 tests).
- Lung Age Calculation: The software automatically calculates a patient’s Lung Age for individuals aged 20 to 84.
What essential spirometry tests does it perform?
The QRS Orbit Spirometer performs a comprehensive suite of diagnostic tests, fully compliant with major industry standards like the ATS/ERS 2005 and BTS. It supports a wide range of measurements for efficient pulmonary function testing, including:
- FVC (Forced Vital Capacity)
- SVC (Slow Vital Capacity)
- MVV (Maximum Voluntary Ventilation)
- Pre/Post Testing
- Flow Volume Loop
In addition to these core functions, the device measures over 30 detailed parameters (e.g., FEV1, PEFR, FEF25-75%). It also calculates Lung Age for patients between 20 and 84 years old, providing a valuable indicator based on matching the predicted FEV1 to the patient’s actual FEV1.
What languages does the spirometer support?
The QRS Orbit Spirometer and its integrated Office Medic software offer robust language support to accommodate diverse clinical settings.
The available language options include:
- English
- Spanish
- French
- German
- Japanese
- Italian
- Portuguese
Is the Orbit Spirometer portable?
Yes, the QRS Orbit Spirometer is designed for maximum portability and point-of-care diagnostic testing.
Its compact and efficient design enables easy use in various clinical settings:
- Extremely Lightweight: The unit weighs only 0.5 lb.
- Compact Size: Its small dimensions (4.3” x 3.7” x 1.7”) allow it to fit easily on any tabletop.
- PC Powered Operation: The device draws all necessary power directly from the connected PC, laptop, or tablet via its USB connection, eliminating the need for batteries or external power sources.
Is the QRS Orbit Spirometer conveniently PC-powered?
Yes, the QRS Orbit Spirometer is conveniently PC-powered, meaning it draws power directly from your PC, laptop, or tablet. This eliminates the need for batteries, simplifying its use and maintenance.
