"Bedfont's brand new LungLife™ can easily be used to detect the early signs of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and help with managing treatment. Smoking is one of the main causes of COPD, a progressive disease of the airways characterised by a gradual loss of lung function.
The instrument calculates a patient's lung age, making it an excellent motivational tool, alerting smokers to the physical damage caused by their habit – the lungs of a regular smoker will function at the same level as a much older person.
From a patient's height, age and gender, the device calculates a predicted value. It then measures the forced expiratory volume in the first second of expiration as a percentage of the predicted value (FEV1% predicted). From this, the smoker's equivalent lung age is calculated – considerably older for a heavy smoker than their chronological age."
Features
- Motivates smokers to quit
- Displays readings for FEV1, PEF and lung age
- Graphic display
- Provides cost effective screening for airway inflammation such as asthma and COPD
- Small and portable
Mouthpieces & Infection Control
LungLife™ uses disposable cardboard mouthpieces that incorporate a one-way valve to prevent patients drawing air back from the monitor and reduce potential risks of cross contamination. The mouthpieces are single use only, and must be changed between patients and disposed of as soiled.
Wipe the instrument surfaces with a product specifically developed for this purpose. Bedfont provides an Instrument Cleansing Wipe, which can also be used by patients to wipe their hands before handling the monitor in areas without hand washing facilities.
To order any of the other excellent products please download the order form and either fax (029 2064 1045) or post it back to us. For any questions or enquiries please email or contact us on 029 2064 1101
