Contact Perma Pure today to discover how Nafion™ Tubing and our expertise can support development of your Pulmonary Function or Metabolic Testing device! .
Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT) and Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (Metabolic Testing or CPET) have been avaluable source of diagnosis and assessment of respiratory conditions for years. COVID-19 put a strain on theability for labs to be operational and now, as testing has picked up, labs have adopted varying procedures forkeeping patients safe. As you develop solutions to aid in the safe operation of PFT and CPET equipment, we wouldlike to offer insights to support you. Below, you can review five things to consider as you refine your PFT deviceoffering. EXPLORING CHANGES IN MOISTURE CONTROL How will added moisture control affect our test results? Without sufficient moisture control, condensation in the sampling line becomes an issue, slowing readings andaffecting results. The same concept applies to Metabolic Testing. With every exhaled breath, water vapor is being pushedto the sampling line. Nafion™ Tubing removes the vapor, enabling proper measurement andreducing theopportunities for moisture to damage the critical device. How will added moisture control affect our test results? Without sufficient moisture control, you risk build-up of condensation. For the engineer, this could mean inefficiencies in measurements or costly damage to the device. For the clinicians, this couldmean incorrect or slow measurements, downtime for device repair, and potentially retestingthe patient. The effects are costly and delay patient results and diagnosis. The reason respiratory engineers turn to Perma Pure is to mitigate risks of moisture issues with a customizedNafion™ Tubing solution. Nafion™ Tubing can be connected to your chosen sampling line or we can support yourteam in designing and manufacturing a unique sampling line for your device. The savings in cost and time to you, the technician using your device, and the patient in need of a diagnosis or assessment, makes Nafion™ Tubing a solid choice for moisture control. What could affect drying performance in my Nafion™ Tubing? Dehumidification performance can be diminished by a variety of factors. Given that PFT and CPET are performedunder a variety of conditions we can only share what we have learned. Since Nafion™ Tubing is used with PFT and CPET testing equipment, in environments where heavybreathing is needed, technicians may want to disinfect equipment in between patients. Our ME Dryers, made from Nafion™ Tubing, are…
