Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT) is a diagnostic tool used to assess the function of the lungs. It is used to diagnose and monitor a variety of respiratory conditions, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and interstitial lung disease. PFTs measure the amount of air a person can inhale and exhale, as well as the speed of inhalation and exhalation. The results of the test can help diagnose and monitor the progression of a respiratory condition.
PFTs are typically performed in a hospital or clinic setting, and the equipment used for the test is typically provided by a medical device manufacturer. The equipment used for PFTs includes spirometers, body plethysmographs, and gas analyzers.
Some companies in the Pulmonary Function Testing market include CareFusion, GE Healthcare, Philips Respironics, Schiller, and Welch Allyn. Show Less Read more
