Product Summary
The PASPORT Spirometer allows students to easily measure flow rate, pressure, and lung volume, making it perfect for human physiology courses. The mouthpieces are designed for single-student use and include exchangeable filters to maximize safety. The sensor safely and accurately measures both outward (expiration) and inward (inspiration) airflow. This sensor ensures hygienic use and prevents the inhalation of particulate matter with filters. Additional mouthpieces are available in convenient packs of ten.
Educational Use Only: This is not a medical device. PASCO product are designed for educational use only and should not be used in any apparatus involved with life support, medical testing, patient diagnosis, or industrial control/testing systems.
Important: Each Spirometer mouthpiece is for individual use only. Mouthpieces should not be shared between students to avoid direct surface contact and particulate infection from droplets that become trapped in the filter.
