Comprehensive answers to technical, operational, and clinical queries regarding next-generation respiratory oscillometry

alveoflow is an advanced respiratory diagnostic device utilizing the Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) to assess lung function. It measures airway mechanics during normal, quiet breathing, providing high-precision data on resistance and reactance without requiring forced expiratory maneuvers

Unlike spirometry, alveoflow is effort-independent. Standard spirometry requires a forced exhalation that can be coordination-dependent and physically demanding. alveoflow evaluates the entire bronchial tree during tidal breathing, allowing for a more accurate assessment of small airway resistance that spirometry might miss

Quiet-breathing assessments significantly reduce test fatigue and are far easier for patients to perform consistently. This is especially useful for pediatric patients, the elderly, or those with severe respiratory limitations, leading to better diagnostic compliance and more accurate long-term monitoring

Yes. Because alveoflow measures reactance and peripheral resistance, it is uniquely qualified to reveal early manifestations of small-airway disease (SAD) often associated with early-stage COPD or asthma, long before these changes affect spirometry parameters like FEV1

Technology & Measurement Parameters

FOT is a non-invasive diagnostic method that evaluates respiratory mechanics during normal quiet breathing by applying subtle pressure oscillations (5–40 Hz, extendable to 60 Hz) to the airway, measuring resistance and reactance without requiring forced maneuvers

Connect the alveoflow console to a grounded power source and press the primary power button on the side panel. The system will perform an automated 45-second diagnostic self-check and sensor array calibration before the interface indicator turns ready

alveoflow utilizes quiet-breathing assessments rather than forced maneuvers. Instruct the patient to breathe normally through the bacterial filter while maintaining a firm lip seal. The system automatically flag stable tidal breath cycles to ensure high-fidelity airway resistance measurements

A calibration verification should be performed at the start of each clinical session using the reference 2 cmH2O/L/s mesh. Navigate to the maintenance menu and follow the prompts to establish a baseline for your specific laboratory ambient conditions

Yes, Roundworks Technologies provides 24/7 technical support. You can reach our clinical specialists via the 'Help' icon within the AlveoCloud platform or by emailing support@alveo.fit for live assistance with hardware configuration or data integration

The exterior casing is sealed and can be disinfected using 70% IPA clinical wipes between patients. For deeper maintenance, the internal flow sensor is moisture-resistant and easily accessible for sterilization as detailed in the technical manual

alveoflow is designed for the highest safety levels. Because FOT uses quiet-breathing oscillometry, it avoids the forceful exhalation maneuvers that can be physically taxing or produce high-aerosol output, offering a safer alternative for vulnerable groups

The exterior housing and sensor unit should be wiped after each session with 70% isopropyl alcohol or a clinical-grade disinfectant wipe. Always use a new single-use bacterial/viral filter (BSPF) for every patient to prevent cross-contamination

While the system performs an automated daily calibration check using the provided reference resistance, we recommend a certified factory recalibration every 12 months. This ensures long-term accuracy and maintains compliance with clinical ISO 13485 standards
