Overview of Vitalograph Pneumotrac™ with RMS
The Vitalograph Pneumotrac™ with RMS is a dual-function respiratory diagnostic device that combines comprehensive spirometry testing with respiratory muscle strength (RMS) assessments in one compact solution.
USB-powered and highly portable, it is designed for use with PCs, laptops, or tablets—making it ideal for clinics, bedside assessments, research labs, occupational health, and mobile healthcare services.
With its Fleisch-type pneumotachograph flow technology and integrated RMS testing tools (MIP, MEP, SNIP, PCF), the Pneumotrac with RMS ensures high accuracy, durability, and compliance with ATS/ERS standards.
Key Benefits of the Pneumotrac with RMS
Dual-Functionality in One Device
- Performs full spirometry testing (FVC, VC, PCF, and more).
- Adds RMS testing capabilities: Max Inspiratory Pressure (MIP), Max Expiratory Pressure (MEP), and Sniff Nasal Inspiratory Pressure (SNIP).
Exceptional RMS Precision
- High-resolution measurements (0.1 cmH₂O).
- Accuracy within ±3% across a wide range (±300 cmH₂O).
Trusted Spirometry Foundation
- Built on the market-leading Pneumotrac platform.
- Fleisch-type flowhead ensures ±2.5% volume accuracy.
- Fully compliant with ATS/ERS and ISO spirometry standards.
Guided Testing with Real-Time Feedback
- Integrated with Spirotrac® 6 software.
- Provides real-time pressure/time curves, repeatability feedback, and automated quality grading.
- Enables trend monitoring of MIP, MEP, SNIP, and VC over time.
Cost-Effective & Hygienic
- No costly disposable turbines or flow sensors.
- Uses single-use BVF™ filters with >99.999% cross-contamination protection.
Complete Package & Reliable Support
- Includes RMS-capable base unit, Spirotrac 6 software, MIP/MEP flowheads, and optional SNIP probes.
- Delivered with USB connectivity and SpiroTutor® online training.
Clinical Use
The Vitalograph Pneumotrac™ with RMS is designed for clinicians who need to evaluate both lung function and respiratory muscle performance. It is particularly valuable for:
- Neuromuscular disorders (e.g., Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy).
- COPD patients in rehabilitation programs.
- Long COVID patients with suspected diaphragmatic weakness.
- General respiratory diagnostics in primary care, hospitals, and occupational health.
By combining spirometry and RMS metrics in one device, the Pneumotrac with RMS supports better assessment of respiratory capacity, muscle weakness, and training outcomes, improving patient management and clinical efficiency.
