Buying A Spirometer In The Most Effective Way

By Tiffany Gill


Due to technological advancement, an apparatus called spirometer is used nowadays to measure the volume expired and inspired by the lungs. This would help a physician detects on what lung difficulty does his patient is suffering. Some of it even made to help the lungs manage its breathing well. But this apparatus is not ideal to be bought by someone who is not a doctor, because this is not a good investment for them and cannot be used regularly unlike the clinic.

As a physician, you are to know the important things to remember when buying such product for your clinic. There are various kinds already available in the market and you should know the type that your patients really need. As a pulmonologist, it is your responsibility to know your patients well and to keep yourself updated on everything that is related into your field.

Warn yourself not to buy the cheapest spirometer you can see. Remember, it is a good investment for you already have your patients. The only thing for you to do is to ask them to run the test or not. What you will pay is what you will get sooner. And it is not very ideal to buy the cheapest because there is a cliche that the cheaper the product the poorer its performance. Just believe in that.

Also only buy it from a well renowned manufacturer or authorized dealer. There are some companies that does not survive after five years due to some circumstances such as bankruptcy. This means that it is better that you should go to a company that is already been doing this kind of business for years. This is in order for you to still enjoy the services you will receive upon buying the product.

Choose the one with disposable sensor. Some models have fixed sensors and this means that you have to sterilized them every after service. This routine would take time especially if you are handling hundreds of people in a week. Disposable sensors have only disposable prices so do not worry. You can even charge your patient for it.

Buy something that is easy to use. Cheaper ones are usually hard to operate that is also one of the reasons why they got the low price. Again, you will be working with many patients and so spirometer checking should not eat too much time.

You also have to consider the maintenance, if you have to do it on your own or there is a need to call the company for the service. The lesser the maintenance the lesser the hassle. Again, you really have to check for its after sales service before you give in into such offer. But even if they do not include the maintenance on the after sales services, it is still better to let the company do the thing.

Inform your staff first. Spirometry is another service and your employee might think that this will be another burden for them. Assure them that you bought an easy one and does not take much effort.

Owning a spirometer will help your service more effective for your patient. Though this would be another charge for them but at least you can assure their safety. Do not forget that you are doing this to help them and not to leech them.
