Q-Box

Accuracy and simplicity for the new benchmark in Body Plethysmography

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.

  • Q-BOX is a medical device.
