Systems Overview
Quark PFT is a stationary and modular system designed for Pulmonary Function
Testing. This system has been designed to meet the most accredited criteria and
recommendations of the latest scientific publications.
The system incorporates “plug and play” circuitry, allowing the customisation of
features and instant upgrades.
Quark PFT comes in the following configurations:
• PFT1; Spirometry, (FVC, SVC, MMV and bronchial-challenge tests).
• PFT2; adds Functional Residual Capacity testing via Nitrogen Washout and
Closing Volume techniques.
• PFT3; combines Spirometry plus Lung Diffusing Capacity testing by adding CO
and CH 4
analysers.
• PFT4; integrates PFT2 and PFT3 features to become the Complete Pulmonary
Function Testing instrument.
• ERGO Option: The PFT 2 and PFT 4 can be enhanced with the Pulmonary Gas
Exchange module, allowing “breath by breath” analysis, indirect calorimetry and
RS232 ergometer control, PFT3 can be upgraded to PFT4 or PFT4 ERGO.
