Summary

The new generation Vitalograph ALPHA Touch is an easy-to-use, lightweight desktop spirometer that offers the benefits of portability, data integration and a built-in printer. The ALPHA Touch features a precise and robust Fleisch pneumotachograph and a simple icon driven menu, plus a large, high-resolution colour touch-screen and storage capacity for 10,000 subjects.

Manual entry of subject data is optional as ALPHA Touch automatically copies all subject data from Spirotrac—saving time and eliminating data entry errors.

Vitalograph ALPHA Touch Spirometer features:

  • Fleisch Pneumotachograph,
  • high-resolution touch screen with a simple icon driven menu,
  • storage capacity for 10,000 subjects in the device,
  • automatic two-way synchronisation of patient data and test sessions between ALPHA Touch and Spirotrac,
  • F/V & V/T curves viewable in real time,
  • print via the internal printer, which holds longer than average rolls, or produce A4/letter sized reports via Spirotrac or Vitalograph Reports,
  • over 50 selectable test parameters,
  • Pre-Post bronchodilator comparison,
  • single- or multi-breath testing,
  • % predicted or standard deviation scores (SDS scores) comparison,
  • customisable reports including interpretation option, BMI and lung age information,
  • hours of battery life for a full day of off-site testing,
  • choice of pediatricincentives with sound effects, and
  • a carrying case.

Spirotrac® Software combines the power of your PC, network and spirometer. Spirotrac is compatible with a range of Vitalograph spirometers, each designed to meet your particular spirometry needs.

  • intuitive user interface with workflow-orientated presentation,
  • subject list, test session list, dynamic information panel and session data in one view
  • automatic FEV1 trend chart view as subject is selected
  • open session, f/v & v/t curves, all test data, test quality and subject demographics in one view
  • automatic storage of all test data and events, including calibration log
  • attractive incentive displays for children, designed to maximise interest and effort
  • view real-time curves through the incentives
  • comprehensive reports for spirometry and trending including PDF generator for remote electronic filling and e-mailing
  • configurable spirometry reports
  • manual data entry and data export facility
  • Mannitol/Bronchialitol/Bronchial Challenge Testing
