Diagnostic spirometer, professional (An electrically-powered device designed exclusively for professional use to measure several or all respiratory gas volume and flow parameters for evaluation of basic pulmonary function [e.g., vital capacity (VC), peak expiratory flow (PEF), forced expiratory volume (FEV), and forced expiratory flow (FEF)]; it may also perform pulse oximetry. It is an instrument with a mouthpiece which connects to a computerized unit (e.g., analysis system, graph recorder, tablet). The measurements data are compared to standardized values or the patient's former values to help diagnosis and monitoring of chronic pulmonary disorders such as asthma, emphysema, or bronchitis, and potentially heart disorders.)
