PowerCube Diffusion+

Product Description

GANSHORN PowerCube™ Diffusion+ is the first diffusion system on the market that uses ultrasound technology. Its long-life sensor technology is based on a GANSHORN innovation and requires no maintenance and results in extremely low operational costs for the user. In addition, the high-speed real-time gas sensor allows the user to change the ejection and withdrawal volume to measure patients down to 0.5 l VC.

Highly accurate and precise

Low operational costs

Speed enhanced gas calibration

Sustainable con- sumable concept

Diffusion and distribution disturbance in one measurement

GANSHORN PowerCube™ Diffusion+ is the first diffusion system on the market that uses ultrasound technology. Its long-life sensor technology is based on a GANSHORN innovation and requires no maintenance. In addition, the high-speed sensor allows the user to change the ejection and withdrawal volume to measure patients up to 0.5 l VC.

GANSHORN PowerCube™ Diffusion+ combines calibration-free ultrasound sensors with the gas sensors specially developed for fast diffusion analysis, they form the basis for meaningful measurements. Precise analyzers enable the high-resolution display of wash-in curves for CO and helium. Diffusion and distribution disturbances thus become easily visible. The CO diffusion system with demand valve used is economical in sample gas consumption, enabling economical and effective operation.

For a reliable evaluation of the diffusion capacity, PowerCube™ Diffusion+ determines the TLCO (carbon monoxide transfer factor) and helium FRC SB (ERS/ATS standards) . In addition, the exhaled concentration of CO and helium is continuously displayed, allowing precise discrimination of dead space and alveolar plateau.

Fully compliant with 2019 Spirometric Guidelines

The GANSHORN SpiroScout spirometry device has been developed to ensure full compliance with all internationally recognized 2019 spirometric guidelines, including those established by the American Thoracic Society (ATS), European Respiratory Society (ERS), and other authoritative bodies. Specifically, the SpiroScout adheres to the following key standards

Accuracy and Precision
Meets or exceeds requirements for volume and flow measurement accuracy, including linearity, reproducibility, and minimal back-pressure as specified in the 2019 ATS/ERS guidelines.
Standardized Test Procedures
Fully supports standardized protocols for calibration, maneuver acceptability, and reproducibility as outlined in the latest guidelines to ensure consistent and reliable measurements
Technological Compliance
Utilizes advanced ultrasonic flow measurement technology, which eliminates the need for frequent recalibration and ensures robust performance across a wide range of environmental conditions and patient types, as required by the 2019 updates.
Data Presentation and Reporting
Provides results in a format that complies with the 2019 recommendations for reporting spirometric indices, including pre- and post-bronchodilator values, graphical displays (e.g., flow-volume loops), and z-score-based interpretation aligned with age, gender, height, and ethnicity
Patient Safety and Usability
Incorporates features to ensure patient comfort and safety during testing, in line with updated infection control and hygiene standards introduced in 2019.

Ultrasound Technology

The core of GANSHORN diagnostic systems is its ultrasound sensor system, based on the precise SharpFlow Technology.

SpiroScout, PowerCube Spiro+, PowerCube Body+ as well as the PowerCube Diffusion+ are based on GANSHORN ultrasound technology. So every measurement comes with precise and direct digital sound pulse transit-time flow determination of lung function. Every system, every session result, always the same accuracy and precision.

Software Platform

The LFX software is the GANSHORN user-friendly interface, developed with the physiologist in mind. It provides all tools necessary to perform every task done in the laboratory, while remaining easy to operate. Built on state-of-the-art Windows tools like .Net, C# and SQL database, the software is the future of modern respiratory diagnostics. LFX has built-in quality control monitoring based on ATS/ERS guidelines, which are accessible during and after the measurements are performed.
