Asthma is reversible airflow obstruction, associated with a state of increased responsiveness of the tracheobronchial tree to many different stimuli (that do not affect normal individuals).
…Patients experience dyspnea, cough and wheezing as the major complaints.

• Wheeze by wheeze identification
• Accurate measurement of Wheeze Rate
• Classification of wheeze as inspiratory or expiratory
• Respiratory rate and I\E ratio
• Cough* Counting

WHEEZE RATE: Proportion of the respiratory cycle duration occupied by wheezing – Tw/Ttot

Respiratory Acoustic Monitor

The PulmoTrack^® Respiratory Acoustic Monitor can be used for:

• Bronchodilatation Test: Measurement of
  response to treatment.
• Bronchoprovocation Test particularly for
  infants or other non-cooperative patients.
• Performance of physical examination in a pulmonary function testing environment to identify and quantify the presence of wheezing.

The PulmoTrack® Respiratory Acoustic Monitor system consists of two acoustic sensors attached to the skin over the trachea and chest with disposable acoustic insulating adhesive pads, a pneumo graph belt sensor for documenting breathing activity, and an ambient microphone to filter environmental noises.

Wheeze detection is carried out by patented* software using advanced algorithms that apply strict criteria to determine the presence of wheezing, as defined by CORSA (Computerized Respiratory Sound Analysis) guidelines1.

PulmoTrack® facilitates improved patient management.

• Minimum patient active effort offers previously unavailable objective pulmonary symptoms documentation in all age groups and continuous overnight monitoring.
• Precise measurement of wheeze rate provides quantitative patient data.
• Archivable and retrievable reports over a period of time enable the following of symptom trends.
• Detailed graphical spectral display and acoustic playback features allow review of specific records for secondary data analysis.
