Thermometer, Exhaled Breath

Page Type
Product Code
Definition
To measure the temperature of exhaled human breath, which is frequently increased in airway inflammation in asthma patients. Measurement of changes in exhaled human breath temperature aids in evaluating airway inflammation treatment in asthma patients as an adjunct to established clinical and laboratory assessments of asthma.
Physical State
The major components of the device are: a. A 0.5-litre silver plated flask in a metal cylinder (thermos) b. An air tube and thermal block made out of copper with an in-built temperature sensor. The thermal block has a tube-like part with high thermal capacity and excellent heat conduction properties c. Mouthpiece (Polypropylene) d. Inlet Cap (Polycarbonate) e. USB Port (Polyurethane) f. Environmental Chamber (Mild Sheet Metal) g. LCD Screen h. Navigation/Power/OK buttons (ABS)
Technical Method
The essence of the device technology is an environmental chamber with a thermal core heated by exhaled air from the patient. Each exhalation increases the temperature inside the reservoir until equilibrium is reached and measured by a thermal sensor. To use the device, the patient inhales through the nose and exhales into the device via a mouthpiece. The temperature in the device is assessed by measuring the resistance of the thermal sensor by means of a digital ohm-meter.
