COSMEd -Model Quark PFT -Modular and Compact Pulmonary Function Testing System

True modular design architecture allows to configure Quark PFT according to any kind of requirement. This cost-effective solution gives the opportunity to scale at any time to a more complex configuration.

Low running costs The design architecture has been made to eliminate the procedure of ordinary maintenance and to easily and rapidly solve any technical problem by replacing a board.

Powered by OMNIA, a contemporary, simple and ergonomic software interface with intuitive workflow and hierarchy. OMNIA is based on standard SQL database to store unlimited data securely and guaranteeing lifetime data ownership.

Simplified workflow. OMNIA user interface and its workflow management have been designed to simplify procedures and to reduce testing time.

Quick and easy calibration procedures Quark PFT includes both standard calibration procedures (ie flowmeter and gas sensors) and advanced calibration procedures to verify accuracy, including Pneumotach linearization and verification of all flowmeters (turbine, PNT).

Automatic interpretation of tests based on latest scientific guidelines supported by a powerful algorithm that automatically process results and provides interpretation text strings, including numerical results and graphical data presentation (pictograms).

Network ready: OMNIA is available both as a single stand-alone workstation or in a client/server configuration for small or very large network environments.
