Pulmonary Function Testing allows detailed diagnosis, grading and monitoring of pulmonary diseases and extends the diagnostic value of Spirometry. As such, PFT devices are essential tools in internal medicine and pneumology. Measurement of total lung volume (TLC) or residual volume (RV) are essential to differentiate between restrictive and obstructive lung diseases. Diagnosis and grading of obstructive lung diseases like such as COPD or Asthma are may be supported by the measurement of airway resistance and . By determination of the diffusion capacity of the lung by CO (DLco), also aids in the diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases and vascular diseases can be detected.
