OVERVIEW
The Q-Box is the standalone body-box for Gold Standard measurement of Static Lung Volumes and Airway Resistance and Conductance through the body plethysmography technique.
The large cabin volume and the two handles allow comfortable and easy access for both adults and special populations.
The cabin structure provides large transparent surfaces, reliable air-tight closure and easy-to-disinfect walls.

All-in-one PFT solution
Q-Box is a variable-pressure body plethysmograph with all the hardware and software for Lung Volumes, DLCO, Airways Resistance, Spirometry, Forced Oscillations and Respiratory Mechanics tests.
Unsurpassed Accuracy
Q-Box design is optimized to maintain high sensitivity to volume changes. Q-Box high quality components, including a precise pneumotach and superfast analyzers, ensure maximum accuracy.
Comfort and accessibility
Large cabin volume provides comfort and ease-to-access both for adults and special populations. Tests can be performed either inside or, whenever possible, outside the cabin.
Automatic interpretation
A powerful algorithm automatically processes results based on latest scientific guidelines and provides interpretation text strings, including numerical results and graphical data.
Network ready
Q-Box can be configured as a single stand-alone workstation or in a client-server configuration for small or very large network environments, with the possibility to share data with the HIS.
Omnia Software
Q-Box is provided with OMNIA, the modular software suite from COSMED with an innovative user interface. OMNIA intuitive workflow allows users to operate devices with no need for long learning paths.
