SDI Diagnostics' Astra spirometers use highly accurate AccuFlo™ bidirectional digital turbine with an optoelectronic rotary sensor and sapphire bearings. AccuFlo™ relies on a unique flow trigger algorithm to allow tidal breathing prioer to an expiratory maneuver, increasing patient comfort while ensuring accurate, quality results.
In addition to all the latest features, the Astra 300 Spirometer has a built-in a touch screen with an on-screen alphanumeric keyboard.
All Astra Spirometers come with a padded high-impact plastic carrying case. Compare features of Astra 100, Astra 200, and Astra 300 Spirometers in the Description tab.
