The Clifton Spirometer can be used for investigating tidal volumes, respiratory rate, pulmonary ventilation, reserve volumes and vital capacity. Oxygen consumption can also be measured which is useful in metabolic rate studies. A simple lever control enables the subject to be connected either to the atmosphere or to the float for recording. A container for soda lime crystals is fitted which can be used to absorb carbon dioxide. The Spirometer is designed to offer minimum resistance to airflow. This means greater comfort for the user and more realistic results.
The tank is stainless steel with a painted stove enameled case. The float is constructed from lightweight plastic and is calibrated in 0.5 liter steps with maximum capacity of 7 liters. A pen arm allows the attachment of a fibre tipped pen for recording results. Two flexible corrugated breathing hoses 0.8m long are provided with two mouthpieces and a nose clip. Operating Instructions are supplied.
Note : Soda Lime Crystals are not supplied with the unit.
