Spirometers: buying guides & advice

How to Choose a Spirometer

Diagnostic spirometers measure forced expiratory volumes (FEV1, FVC, PEF) and are core to diagnosing and monitoring asthma, COPD, occupational lung disease, and pre-operative risk. Spirometry is the most common pulmonary function test and is widely used in the assessment of lung function to provide objective information used in the diagnosis of lung diseases and monitoring lung health. Buyers range from primary-care and pulmonology clinics to occupational-health programs, ASCs, hospital PFT labs, and clinical-trial sites.
