Spirocomp™ for Macintosh  

• Database Capabilities - Allows you to acquire, save, edit, redo, list, and delete lung volume records.
• Command Window - Displays important information about the database and current record, and allows for quick access to frequently used software features.
• Clear Colorful 3-D Graphics - volumes, which are color and pattern coded, are depicted as individual and stacked bar graphs in a resizable window.
• Textual & Audio Prompts - The software helps to guide you through the data acquisition process with textual and verbal prompts. That's right, the computer talks to the students! This facilitates the measurement of lung volumes in a classroom laboratory setting.
• Vital Capacity Flow Curve - See the forced vital capacity graphed as volume against time and determine the volume at any time during the exhalation.
• Automatic Tidal Cycle Detection - The software "senses" each resting breath for determination of tidal and expiratory reserve volumes. The spirometer sensitivity can be adjusted to "fine tune" acquisition.
• Automatic FVC & FEV Determination - The software "senses" the onset of exhalation, thereby eliminating user intervention and reducing potential measurement error.
• Automatic Rate & Minute Volume - Computation of the resting ventilation rate and minute volume is performed during each tidal volume measurement.
• Automatic Group Averaging - Data averages are automatically maintained by gender as well as for all records.
• Group Analyses - Data can be displayed in spreadsheet format or shown as a stacked bar graph for the entire database or by gender.
• Data Export - You can save the lung volume data into ASCII text files which can be read by other applications such as word processors, databases, spreadsheets, or statistical analysis programs. This is useful for incorporating the data into reports or performing additional customized analyses.
• Predicted VC - Vital capacity is computed based upon the subject's gender, age, and height.
• BTPS Factor - Gas volumes are automatically converted to compensate for body temperature, pressure, and humidity.
• Hardcopy Output - Printouts can be obtained for all data analysis windows.
• Clipboard Support - The image of any window can be copied to the clipboard and then pasted into another application, making it easy to incorporate acquisition or analysis windows into lab reports etc.
• Notes Feature - Comments can be added for each lung volume record, allowing you to annotate the data.
