Visualise the Future of Lung Function Assessment Testing PneumaCare’s family of products are revolutionary advancements in pulmonary assessment that can help to identify respiratory related issues earlier in the patient care lifecycle and monitor their performance through recovery.

PneumaCare’s family of products, the PneumaScan™ and Thora-3DI™, can capture a functional image of the lungs, by analysing chest wall movement, and translate it into pulmonary function outputs for use in the assessment of pre/post-operative thoracic patients, COPD, Asthma, Cystic Fibrosis, Bronchiectasis, Pneumonia and other respiratory conditions. This can all be done without physically contacting the patient or subjecting them to unnecessary radiological or resonance exposure.

PneumaCare

The PneumaCare product family provides a deeper level of lung function performance while eliminating many of the restrictions imposed by current technology. The innovative nature and clinician inputs to the design provide the following advantages:

• 3D data output with regional contribution measurement

• Non-contact measurement

• Expanded patient population measurement capabilities

• Minimises chance of patient cross-contamination

• Measurement in standing, seated or supine patient positions

• Real-time measurement output

• Compact and mobile operating design for measurement at patient location

• Standard light projection reducing harmful radiological exposure

• No disposables or daily calibration

• Low operating costs

The Thora-3DI™ measures regional pulmonary contributions in a non-contact, non-invasive methodology, providing rich lung function information. The mobile measurement platform allows for assessment at the patient bedside. Earlier thoracic post-surgical evaluations are possible for patients that cannot be transferred to a pulmonary function testing environment.

The PneumaScan™ removes many of the current pulmonary function testing limitations by measuring lung function in a non-contact non-invasive methodology. By eliminating the requirement to form a seal on a mouthpiece, a broader patient population can now be assessed. Imaging can be done in a lung function lab, at the patient’s bedside or even at admission, allowing for a rapid diagnosis and faster implementation of preventative care measures for many sufferers of respiratory related ailments.
