Body plethysmography is a non-invasive and indispensable method for obtaining detailed information about lung volumes and airway function—data that other pulmonary function tests cannot provide. With the increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases such as asthma, COPD, and the lasting effects of COVID-19, the need for reliable and precise diagnostic tools has never been greater.
A body plethysmograph cabin is no longer optional—it is a must for hospitals and specialized clinics aiming to deliver accurate diagnoses and effective follow-ups for pulmonary diseases. Investing in this advanced technology is crucial to meet the growing demand for high-quality pulmonary care and improve patient outcomes.
SCHILLER-GANSHORN is a leading manufacturer of cutting-edge pulmonary technology, and we’re proud to offer the PowerCube Body+ body plethysmograph. To help you make an informed decision, we’ve put together this handy mini-guide featuring answers to some of the most common questions we receive about this advanced device.
Key Information About Our Body Plethysmography Cabin
1. Is this the best equipment for evaluating pulmonary function?
Yes, it is. The body plethysmograph cabin is the gold standard for pulmonary function measurement and remains the most clinically accepted device available.
2. What type of technology is used for flow measurement?
Currently, ultrasonic technology leads the field of flow measurement. It’s essential to ensure that the cabin you purchase incorporates this advanced technology.
3. Can the body plethysmograph perform tests like ROCC or P0.1 Pmax?
Absolutely. These tests are critical for assessing the severity of airway obstruction. The device should also measure maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures as well as resistance through occlusion.
4. Can the cabin measure alveolar gas exchange?
Yes, through a test called Carbon Monoxide Diffusion (DLCO), typically performed using the “Single Breath” technique. Make sure your cabin supports this essential feature.
5. Does the cabin’s software include quality control and trend analysis tools?
The PowerCube Body+ plethysmograph cabin offers these tools. They simplify patient progress tracking, medication response evaluation, and disease prognosis, while minimizing human error during measurements.
6. Does the cabin have a weight limit?
Yes, the included bench usually has a weight limit of 140 kg. However, options are available for bariatric patients or individuals with special needs, such as cabins with double doors for wheelchair access.
7. How many gas bottles does the device use?
The PowerCube Body+ plethysmograph cabin with the DLCO option uses a single gas bottle, sufficient for calibration and test execution. If no DLCO is installed no calibration gas is needed
8. What if I need to evaluate pulmonary function but don’t have space for a cabin?
In this case, consider Gas Diffusion (DLCO) as a space-efficient alternative for assessing pulmonary function. SCHILLER-GANSHORN has developed the PowerCube Diffusion+ System, a multi-gas sensor that accurately analyzes diffusion capacity and provides fast, precise results for single-breath carbon monoxide diffusion. This system simplifies both single-breath diffusion procedures and continuous measurement, providing flexibility and precision in your assessments.
