Tips&Tricks_MEASURING SpO2 with the FIRST_rev0

The first mini-oscillometer, a revolution in pulmonary diagnostics.

First is a novel, revolutionary unique medical device for easy, fast, reliable measurements of respiratory function at normal tidal breathing, all in a compact stand-alone handheld device. First utilizes the proven and validated method of OSCILLOMETRY or FOT (forced oscillatory technique) to detect and localize peripheral and central obstructions, as well as tidal Expiratory Flow Limitation (EFLt).
