The art of lung diagnostics.

We are a manufacturer of versatile PFT devices – with a focus on durability and simple design. With over 40 years of experience.

PowerCube Body+

Simple and puristic design that fits perfectly into your medical workflow. The most individual and robust body plethysmograph – for measuring most PFT parameters at one workstation.

With our enhanced long-term stability and new analysis algorithms, you can now instantly identify asthma, COPD, restrictions, or combinations of these conditions with just a quick look at the waveform.

Sustainability, performance, hygiene and design. Rethought.

The GANSHORN PowerCube Body+ sets a new focus on first-class quality and the highest precision down to the smallest detail. Thanks to the fully barrier-free wheelchair version, it offers improved patient comfort and increased safety, while hygiene measures are made significantly easier and faster thanks to the well-thought-out design.

Equipped with an innovative, calibration-free and waterproof SharpFlow ultrasound sensor, the device delivers fast, reliable and precise results. The clear design of the GANSHORN PowerCube Body+ combines elegance with functionality and is not only a visual highlight in your laboratory, but also makes everyday work easier thanks to optimized hygiene.

Visit our knowledge base and discover how you can achieve optimal results in accordance with the 2019 ATS/ERS guidelines for spirometry with the latest LFX software.

Ultrasound technology

The core of GANSHORN diagnostic systems is its ultrasound sensor system, based on the precise SharpFlow Technology.

SpiroScout, PowerCube Spiro+, PowerCube Body+ as well as the PowerCube Diffusion+ are based on GANSHORN ultrasound technology. So every measurement comes with precise and direct digital sound pulse transit-time flow determination of lung function. Every system, every session result, always the same accuracy and precision.

We recommend this configuration of the body plethysmograph for most purposes in a long-term usage perspective. It consists of these central components:

  • PowerCube Body+ Cabin, Standard size
  • Height-Adjustable GANSHORN Workstation trolley
  • Optimized GANSHORN touch screen Windows-PC
  • PowerCube Diffusion+ integrated
  • LFX Platform with MIP/MEP and SNIP Measuring modules
Body+ Bodyplethysmograph
PowerCube Body+ Basic

This setup has been defined for basic and specific scenarios. It is exclusively equipped with spirometry and body plethysmography measurement capabilities and is ideal for retrofitting existing infrastructure. It consists of these central components:

  • PowerCube Body+ Cabin, Standard size
  • GANSHORN easy seat trolley
  • Compatible Windows-PC with Full-HD screen
  • LFX Platform with Plethysmography and basic licenses
PowerCube Body+ Rollstuhlkabine
PowerCube Body+ Truly barrier-free

In contrast to the competitor's devices, you can also order the PowerCube in a truly barrier-free version. With this, body plethysmography is also possible with a wheelchair. The following components are included:

  • PowerCube Body+ Cabin with curved or straight ramp, standard or XL dimension
  • Height-Adjustable or basic seat GANSHORN Workstation trolley
  • Optimized GANSHORN touch screen Windows-PC or standard PC
  • PowerCube Diffusion+ integrated
  • LFX Platform with MIP/MEP and SNIP Measuring modules
PowerCube Body+ XL

Maximum configurability in its purest form: the PowerCube Body+ in XL version. Our body plethysmograph can be manufactured so flexibly that it can also be delivered to you in extra-large cabin dimensions:

  • PowerCube Body+ Cabin, XL dimension
  • Height-Adjustable GANSHORN Workstation trolley
  • Optimized GANSHORN touch screen Windows-PC
  • PowerCube Diffusion+ integrated
  • LFX Platform with MIP/MEP and SNIP Measuring modules

Please note that the deployment kits are pre-configured set ordering options, not a medical system each.

Software platform

The LFX software is the GANSHORN user-friendly interface, developed with the physiologist in mind. It provides all tools necessary to perform every task done in the laboratory, while remaining easy to operate. Built on state-of-the-art Windows tools like .Net, C# and SQL database, the software is the future of modern respiratory diagnostics. LFX has built-in quality control monitoring based on ATS/ERS guidelines, which are accessible during and after the measurements are performed.

Sustainable filter concept

SpiroDef

PFT filter system

The SpiroDef contains a filter fleece matching highest quality standards. It provides an effective mechanical barrier for aerosols. This reliably filters aerosols, bacteria and viruses which prevents not only contamination of the device, but also protects the ambient air. The SpiroDef allows a clean, economical workflow and impresses with an ergonomic shape. The extra compact filter saves not only space, but also minimizes the use of plastic and thus reduces waste. In order to attach the filter to the SpiroScout, a permanent breathing tube (as pictured below) is neccessary.

Fits not only to all GANSHORN devices, but also most other PFT devices on the market
