State-of-the-art technology for complete assessment of pulmonary function

The Elite body plethysmograph provides fast, easy testing of all patients, from pediatric through adult. When combined with BREEZESUITE software and the patented preVent pneumotach, the Elite becomes a powerful diagnostic tool for the clinician while simplifying testing and increasing productivity.

Elite Benefits

• Ability to measure thoracic gas volume (TGV)
• Accurate measurement of lung volumes
• Airway resistance by plethysmography increases sensitivity to identify lung diseases
• Assess airway obstruction reversability
• Unique "zero-clearance" door allowing you to position the system without having to worry about clearance
• 3 Elite models available with various options including:
  • Complete spirometry
  • Diffusing Capacity (DLCO)
  • Lung Volumes by Nitrogen Washout
  • Plethysmography
  • Airway Resistance
