Quick Access

PowerCube Spiro+

The GANSHORN PowerCube Spiro+ is a versatile PFT test station that covers many features for the everyday work of pulmonologists.

The state-of-the-art ultrasound-based spirometry system with airway resistance, respiratory muscle strength and modular extensions allows additional measurements like rhinomanometry, Rocc, and MIP/MEP in a single and compact station.

Many spirometric measurements at one defined workstation – without gas.

The GANSHORN PowerCube Spiro+ not only enables the precise determination of spirometric parameters such as flow/volume, spirometry, lung volume, one-second capacity FEV1 as well as static and dynamic lung function measurements including peak flow measurement. It can also be used to directly measure rhinomanometry, ROCC and P01. Together with the LFX software, the SpiroScout complies with the current medical and technical standards.

Fully compliant with 2019 Spirometric Guidelines

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

Accuracy and Precision

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.

Standardized Test Procedures

Fully supports standardized protocols for calibration, maneuver acceptability, and reproducibility as outlined in the latest guidelines to ensure consistent and reliable measurements

Technological Compliance

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.

Data Presentation and Reporting

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

Patient Safety and Usability

Incorporates features to ensure patient comfort and safety during testing, in line with updated infection control and hygiene standards introduced in 2019.

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.
