50+ Pulmonary Parameters Across FVC, VC/SVC, and MVV Testing Modes
The Contec SP100 (VM-SIPROSP100) is a portable desktop spirometer offering over 50 lung function parameters across three testing modes — forced vital capacity (FVC), slow/subdivided vital capacity (VC/SVC), and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) — providing the full parameter dataset required for structured pulmonary function reporting. Key parameters include FVC, FEV1, PEF, FEV1/FVC, FEF25, FEF50, FEF75, FEF25-75, FEV6, FEV1/FEV6, FIVC, FIV1, PIF, and MVV, enabling assessment of obstructive patterns (COPD, asthma), restrictive patterns (interstitial lung disease, neuromuscular conditions), and mixed defects. Measured values are compared against predicted values for ATS/ERS-aligned interpretation, supporting COPD severity staging, asthma monitoring, pre- and post-bronchodilator response testing, and pre-operative respiratory assessment. Flow-volume loops and volume-time curves are rendered in real time on the 7″ colour TFT touchscreen, enabling immediate pattern recognition and clinical decision-making at the point of care without data transfer to a separate workstation.
Built-In Thermal Printer for On-Site Spirometry Reporting
The SP100’s integrated high-speed thermal printer uses 112mm-wide paper — wide enough to produce complete spirometry reports including waveform graphics, full parameter tables, and predicted versus measured comparisons in a single printed output. Immediate on-site printing is clinically significant in settings without reliable access to networked printers or electronic health record systems, including occupational health assessments, community outreach clinics, mining and industrial health facilities, rural district hospitals, and bedside pulmonary screening rounds. The ability to hand the patient or referring clinician a printed report at the time of testing supports both documentation and immediate communication of results without administrative delay.
Portable AC/DC Design with Turbine Sensor for Mobile and Clinical Deployment
At 1.8kg and 315×215×92mm, the SP100 is compact enough for transport between clinics and field deployment while retaining the full-function feature set of a stationary desktop spirometer. The turbine flow sensor delivers a volume measurement range of 0–10L (accuracy ±3% or ±0.05L, whichever is greater) and flow range of 0–16L/s (accuracy ±5% or ±0.2L/s, whichever is greater) — meeting the precision requirements for clinical diagnosis and monitoring across the full range of respiratory conditions. Universal AC input (100–240V, 50/60Hz) is compatible with South African mains supply, while the built-in 7.4V/3700mAh rechargeable lithium battery supports mains-independent operation for mobile and outreach use without requiring proximity to a power outlet. Available in South Africa from Vital Medical, the SP100 is suited to pulmonology departments, respiratory clinics, occupational health services, general practice, and community health facilities requiring a full-function desktop spirometer with immediate printed reporting.
