PowerCube Ergo

The user-friendly and highly reliable system for spiro-ergometry (CPET).

Whether for differential diagnosis or for medically validated care of athletes: Spiro-ergometry has become an indispensable procedure for cardio-pulmonary function diagnostics. The GANSHORN PowerCube Ergo System provides detailed information for diagnosis, therapy or training support. The pneumotachograph with variable aperture is lightweight and insensitive to wetness. The fast, highly stable gas analyzers allow proper breath-by-breath measurements.

The All-In-One CPET lab.

Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) is a specialized diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the function of the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems during exercise. By measuring various parameters such as heart rate, oxygen consumption, and breathing patterns, CPET provides comprehensive insights into how well these systems are functioning under stress. This test is valuable for diagnosing and monitoring a wide range of cardiovascular and pulmonary conditions, helping healthcare providers make informed decisions about treatment and exercise prescription. The GANSHORN PowerCube Ergo system provides detailed information for diagnosis, therapy or training support.

GANSHORN Spirozeptor flow sensor

The GANSHORN flow sensor Spirozeptor is the heart of the ergospirometry system. Thanks to the integrated variable orifice flow sensor technology, the Spirozeptor offers accurate respiration measurements that are not affected by saliva or vibrations. The flow sensor is further characterized by the following unique properties:
