Description

Principle of operation

EXHALION guides the exhalation maneuver for online breath analysis. It provides a visual clue

that helps everyone exhale at a consistent volume and flow rate. EXHALION measures and logs

exhaled CO2, pressure, flowrate, and volume. Data is automatically stored in an open format

(*.txt) file, so that it can be processed and synchronized with other data. EXHALION comprises

an autoclavable Breath Inlet, and a Sensors Module that houses the touchscreen and all

electronics. The Breath Inlet is compatible with medical grade disposable spirometry mouth-

piece filters, and SUPERSESI. The Sensor Module can be seamlessly attached to the MS.

EXHALION incorporates sensors and routines to facilitate calibration. EXHALION integrates a

relay that is activated when exhaled breath reaches a desired flow rate, CO2 concentration, and

exhaled volume.

Intended use

EXHALION is designed to be used by trained personnel in a laboratory environment. The purpose

of EXHALION is to enable collection of breath in real time and to differentiate different fractions

of the exhalation.

CAUTION Exhalation is intended for research purposes only, and with healthy non-

infectious volunteers.
