The Vitalograph copd-6™ identifies those at risk of COPD at the pre-symptomatic stage. The device screens out those whose FEV1 is normal.
The copd-6 screener allows early medical intervention and facilitates better clinical outcomes.
- Monitors COPD patients using their ‘number’, the obstructive index which is based on a percent of predicted.
- Facilitates ‘case selection’ so that spirometry can be focused on those likely to be diagnosed with COPD.
- Screens out anyone with normal FEV1 without the risk of false COPD negatives.
- Displays FEV1, FEV6, ratio and % predicted, obstructive index, COPD classification and lung age.
- Displays the GOLD COPD classification (stage I – IV) to help recognize the need for a change in the patient’s management plan.
- Built-in quality of blow indicator.
- Large, easy-to-read display.

Can I use a Bacterial Viral Filter (BVF) with the copd-6?
A BVF is recommended to use if the copd-6 is intended for in clinic multi-subject use. The plastic mouthpiece supplied with the device can be used where the device is intended for single-subject use. For subject groups with excessive sputum production, a BVF can be used to protect the device flowhead from exhaled particulate matter where this may be a concern.
What does the quality of blow indicator detect?
The (!) appears after a blow if; Vext (extrapolated volume) is > 5% or 100mL of FEV6 or a cough is detected in the 1st second.
Can the copd-6 connect with my phone/tablet?
To connect to a supported mobile App, you require the lung monitor BT Smart. For more details talk to us.
