“An 8-liter rolling seal type spirometer is used. Test results are displayed on an LED display, while the respiratory waveforms are displayed on a 9-inch green monitor. Records are printed by an electrosensitive printer. A special table is available on request.”

“Mini-systems using an 8-liter rolling seal type spirometer. Each system contains a 10-inch color CRT, and both test results and respiratory waveforms are displayed on the CRT screen. Records are printed by a silent thermal printer. This model comes in three types. System-1 is the basic type and covers VC, FVC, F-V, MVV and MV tests. System-2 covers FRC test in addition to those of the basic type. System-3 covers FRC and DLco tests in addition to those of the basic type. Every type can be enhanced in system configuration after the initial purchase.”
It came with a 10″ color CRT in 6 different models. The basic unit was capable of performing spirometry, helium dilution lung volumes and single-breath DLCO. N2 washout lung volumes, closing volumes, steady-state DLCO and Viso-V (heliox spirometry) were options.

Looks almost identical to the McKesson Vitalor. Photo is from a sales brochure courtesy of James Sullivan, BA, RPFT, Supervisor, Pulmonary Laboratories, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
“The simplest FVC tester. The vital capacity is measured up to 6 liters by a bellows made of rubber. Immediately after the start of respiration, the recording chart starts moving, for FEVt measurement. The waveform is recorded on roll type ordinary paper. Being small and light, it can be carried simply everywhere. A special stand is available on request.”

A transmural plethysmograph. The PCF-2000 was an optional digital computer for performing tests. Tests could be performed and calculated manually with just the PCF-4000.Photo from a sales brochure courtesy of James Sullivan, BA, RPFT, Supervisor, Pulmonary Laboratories, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
