Comparison of a portable, pneumotach flow-sensor-based spirometer (Spirofy™) with the vitalograph alpha Touch™ spirometer in evaluating lung function in healthy individuals, asthmatics, and COPD patients-a randomized, crossover study

Spirofy™ is India's first portable, pneumotach flow-sensor-based digital spirometer developed to diagnose asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In this study, we compared the performance of the Spirofy™ device with that of the Vitalograph Alpha Touch™ spirometer in measuring...

description Spirofy™ is India's first portable, pneumotach flow-sensor-based digital spirometer developed to diagnose asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In this study, we compared the performance of the Spirofy™ device with that of the Vitalograph Alpha Touch™ spirometer in measuring the lung capacities of healthy individuals, asthmatics, and COPD patients. We also assessed the inter-device variability between two Spirofy™ devices. In a randomized, three-way crossover, open-label study, we measured the differences in forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV ) and forced vital capacity (FVC) between the Spirofy™ and Vitalograph Alpha Touch™ spirometers.
