The Discovery-2 is a compact diagnostic spirometer with capabilities common to larger instruments. It features comprehensive measurement parameters, a built-in printer and software for interface with a PC. Over 25 years of experience in serving the needs of the medical community have resulted in Futuremed’s most complete spirometer, incorporating the latest technology, most current industry standards, and recommendations made by thousands of existing customers.

Package Includes: AC/DC adapter, rechargeable internal batteries, roll of paper, 40 mouthpieces (20 adult/20 pediatric), noseclips, filters, assorted adapters, carrying case, Software CD and instruction manual.

Features and benefits:

Dependable. Discovery-2 meets or exceeds current ATS, ERS, OSHA and Social Security Disability standards for spirometry, and has been independently tested and validated by the Pulmonary Lab at LDS Hospital for accuracy and precision. A unique sensor design that is unaffected by environmental changes, along with a built-in temperature sensor and the ability to make BTPS corrections, ensure that measurements are exact for a wide range of flows, with low resistance.

Intuitive. Pull-down menus and input fields, similar to the Windows or Palm environment, make operation of Discovery-2 familiar and simple. An alphanumeric keyboard allows personalization of patient reports. Maneuvers include FVC, SVC, MVV, Pre/Post medication comparison and challenge testing. The "best test" is identified but a different patient effort may be selected. Patient-friendly Adults and children alike will find the smooth and lightweight Discovery-2 handset easy to hold. The "Bubbles" pediatric incentive, available at the operator’s discretion, gives patients a visual goal and motivates them to perform better, yielding optimal results.

Real-time Color Display. Flow-volume and volume-time graphs are displayed in real time. This ability to study both graphs side-by-side lets the technician inspect the quality of each maneuver before proceeding to the next. Multiple efforts are displayed in different colors for easy identification. Quality control messages let the operator know if a test meets accepted testing criteria and are helpful in coaching patients. MVV and SVC maneuvers are also displayed in real time.

Memory. Over 200 tests can be stored on Discovery-2 for future reference. Patient files may also be permanently archived on a computer. Three Ways to Print Discovery-2 provides three printing options. Complete reports can be generated on the internal printer in less than 15 seconds. Alternatively, Discovery-2 can be connected to a standard printer for plain paper, full page reports. A third option is to transfer tests to a PC, through which color printouts are produced.

Data Management Software. Discovery-2's Software for Windows serves two functions. The first is to store patient files on your computer, with the ability to print color reports, interface with other programs, create trend graphs, and compare tests, for a more complete picture of the patient’s pulmonary function over time. The second, more unique, aspect of the software is to perform tests directly on the computer, with larger real time graphs, a colorful pediatric incentive and immediate archiving of patient records. Cost-effective Discovery-2 can be used with a choice of mouthpieces or bacterial filters , giving the operator control over the cost and quality of disposables.
