Medicaid Spiro Excel – PC-Based Digital Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) Machine

The Medicaid Spiro Excel is a PC-based digital pulmonary function testing (PFT) system manufactured by Medicaid Systems. It connects directly to a computer through USB and is designed for pulmonary function assessment with real-time flow-volume loop visualization, automated interpretation, BTPS correction, patient incentive features, and digital report management.

Product Overview

Medicaid Spiro Excel combines a USB-powered pneumotach-based measurement system with Windows software for pulmonary function testing. Its software provides real-time flow-volume loops, automated test interpretation, and BTPS (Body Temperature and Pressure, Saturated) correction.

The system also includes dedicated pediatric encouragement software, configurable prediction tables, unlimited test-result storage, multiple report formats, color printing, and email-based report sharing.

USB-Powered PC Connectivity

The Spiro Excel connects directly to a computer through a USB port, eliminating the need for a separate external power supply.

Pulmonary Function Measurement

The system uses an easily sterilizable pneumotach for respiratory flow measurement. The pneumotach-based setup works with the PC software to generate and display pulmonary function test data.

The software provides real-time flow-volume loop visualization, allowing the operator to observe the patient's respiratory maneuver during testing.

Automatic Interpretation & BTPS Correction

Medicaid Spiro Excel incorporates software-based processing features including:

• Automatic test interpretation
• Automatic BTPS correction
• Real-time flow-volume loop display
• User-configurable prediction tables

BTPS correction refers to correction of pulmonary function measurements for body-temperature, pressure, and saturated conditions.

Pediatric Patient Support

The system includes patient-engagement features intended to help patients perform respiratory maneuvers correctly.

Incentive & Encouragement Software

The software provides incentive/encouragement screens to help motivate patients to achieve appropriate respiratory effort.

A dedicated pediatric encouragement software feature is also provided for respiratory testing involving children.

Data Storage & Reporting

The Medicaid Spiro Excel software supports digital management of pulmonary function test results.

Data Management

• Unlimited test result storage
• Retrieval of previously stored test results
• Two user-configurable prediction tables
• Multiple report formats

Reporting

Reports can be produced with color printouts and can also be shared electronically through email.
