The durable ultrasound desktop spirometer –
for the daily medical use.
SpiroScout is a precise, mobile spirometer that has been proven for over 15 years and was developed for use in all possible professional applications. Examples of these include lung specialists, general practitioners or hospitals.
SpiroScout is the heart of all GANSHORN diagnostic systems. With the development of ultrasound flow measurement, GANSHORN opened new perspectives for spirometry and lung function testing. Based on simultaneous flow and molar mass determination, SpiroScout precisely measures all spirometric parameters and provides parallel information to the
capnovolumetry.
The Portable Mini Kit is designed to take up as little space as possible for transport and storage. It is also extra light and can be taken almost anywhere in a backpack or normal suitcase, for example. The set consists of the following elements:
The SpiroScout Portable Kit is a ready-to-measure pocket PFT laboratory designed for use on the go (home visits, military, large hospital facilities...). The set consists of the following elements:
The Spiroscout Workstation Kit is an individually fully equipped measuring station setup. Once all devices are connected, you have all the tools you need for spirometry measurements in one place. The set consists of the following elements:
The SpiroScout Desktop Kit is a compatible plug-and-play setup that enables you to work efficiently and optimally with GANSHORN technology. The set consists of the following elements:
Please note that the deployment kits are pre-configured set ordering options, not a medical system each.
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.
The GANSHORN SpiroScout spirometry device has been developed to ensure full compliance with all internationally recognized 2019 spirometric guidelines, including those established by the American Thoracic Society (ATS), European Respiratory Society (ERS), and other authoritative bodies. Specifically, the SpiroScout adheres to the following key standards
Meets or exceeds requirements for volume and flow measurement accuracy, including linearity, reproducibility, and minimal back-pressure as specified in the 2019 ATS/ERS guidelines.
Fully supports standardized protocols for calibration, maneuver acceptability, and reproducibility as outlined in the latest guidelines to ensure consistent and reliable measurements
Utilizes advanced ultrasonic flow measurement technology, which eliminates the need for frequent recalibration and ensures robust performance across a wide range of environmental conditions and patient types, as required by the 2019 updates.
Provides results in a format that complies with the 2019 recommendations for reporting spirometric indices, including pre- and post-bronchodilator values, graphical displays (e.g., flow-volume loops), and z-score-based interpretation aligned with age, gender, height, and ethnicity
Incorporates features to ensure patient comfort and safety during testing, in line with updated infection control and hygiene standards introduced in 2019.
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
SpiroDef fleece with protective membrane
Comfortable lip seal
Disposable breathing tube without or with PFT filter on the back
ScoutTube is the disposable mouthpiece of SpiroScout. It is easy to use and a hygienic solution, as you simply change it with every patient. Using the ScoutTube allows to measure without added resistance from a filter. It suits all ages from children to adults, at all levels of health. ScoutTubes are permeable to ultrasound waves. However, due to the small window size of the mesh and its arrangement, contamination of the device is unlikely.
Permeable for ultrasound waves
Riffles for teeth avoid slipping
Comfortable lip seal
Tidal breathing for children
This type of breath recording is used for newborns and infants where cooperation cannot be guaranteed.
Rhinomanometry
This form is used to assess the nasal cavity and respiratory function of the nose. It measures pressure and flow
during normal inhalation and exhalation through the nose.
Capnovolumetry* is the analysis of the exhaled CO2 compared to the exhaled volume.
The CO2 concentration of exhaled air is plotted against the exhaled volume and thereby the anatomical airway dead space as well as the functional airway dead space can be determined. This method is independent of patient cooperation and therefore especially useful for monitoring respiratory diseases in both pediatric and geriatric patients.
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.
