Geratherm · Body Plethysmography
Bodystik
The Geratherm Bodystik is a volume constant body plethysmograph for lung volume and airway resistance testing. The cabin is built from aluminium with five large tempered safety glass windows, and the measuring head adjusts electrically to the patient. It runs Blue Cherry software and can operate standalone or on a hospital network.
- Easy cabin entry
- Lung volumes and resistance
- ATS and ERS quality checks
Installation, clinical application training and 24 months warranty are included. Manufacturer brochure available on request.
Key features
- Volume constant cabin for TGV, resistance, spirometry, flow volume and MVV
- Swivable patient chair and a very low door step for easier cabin entry
- Measuring head adjusts electrically at the press of a button, even with the door shut
- Electromagnetic door lock opens from inside or outside, LED confirms door closed
- Aluminium frame with five large tempered safety glass windows
- Intercom, automated procedures and on screen instructions for patient management
- Reproducibility checked against ATS/ERS criteria with curve overlay
- GDT and HL7 interfaces, SQL database for networked or single user use
