Astra BT is a wireless spirometer functions with two AAA batteries and offers mobility for occupational health professionals as well as for primary care clinics and hospitals. The spirometer comes with the AstraPro software.
Features:
AccuFlo™ Digital Turbine
The AccuFlo™ bidirectional turbine with optoelectronic rotary sensor can be detached for cleaning. Sapphire bearings ensure optimal performance for the life of the turbine. AccuFlo has a unique flow trigger algorithm that allows tidal breathing prior to the patient expiratory effort making the spirometry test easier for the patient and insuring quality test results.
AstraPro™ Software
Choose either pre- and post-bronchodilator and bronchial challenge testing or use the incentive program with your pediatric patients. The Astra BT communicates with AstraPro wirelessly via Bluetooth.
