Antiviral and antibacterial filters provide an easy way to ensure protection from cross-contamination, keeping both the subject and operator safe without compromising performance.
The use of filters during spirometry reduces the amount of aerosol droplets dispersed into the air, mitigating the contamination of the environment due to forced expirations and high ventilations during testing.
Preventing aerosol spread is essential for minimising infectious disease transmission.

Our antibacterial filters are built with a soft anatomical mouthpiece, allowing blockage around the mouth to minimise leaks and dispersion from the sides of the mouth. They are also effective at filtering out bacteria and viruses to minimise contamination risk while maintaining accurate readings during a spirometry test.
The microQuark is a PC-based spirometer where you only need to plug the device into a laptop or computer to begin performing tests. The spirometer operates off the COSMED Omnia software, offering superior database management, and customisation for users of the device.
The turbine used with the device operates using infrared light emitters and a spinning blade that causes infrared light interruptions. The microQuark unit contains an optoelectronic reader to measure the flow rate based on the speed at which the turbine blades spin.
The microQuark should be calibrated after flowmeter verification fails, the turbine changes and/or is cleaned.
Daily flowmeter verification must be conducted at low, medium, and high flow, in accordance with the latest ATS/ERS standards for spirometry. If the flowmeter verification fails, check for and resolve potential problems, and repeat flowmeter verification. Should the flowmeter verification continue to fail, perform a calibration before repeating verification.
