Overview

The Ultima CardiO2 PFX system is an all-in-one pulmonary function and gas exchange testing system designed for hospitals and clinical environments. It combines pulmonary function testing (PFT), metabolic stress testing, and ECG integration into a single, easy-to-use platform. This integrated approach supports comprehensive cardiopulmonary assessment across a wide range of clinical applications.

Key Features of the Ultima CardiO2 PFX System

  • All-in-one PFT and gas exchange system
  • Integrated metabolic stress testing and ECG
  • Fast-response O₂ and CO₂ sensors
  • Unified software for PFT, gas exchange, and ECG
  • Simplified workflows and data interpretation
  • Flexible configurations for clinical environments
  • Optional wireless ECG and thermal printing
Features

Unique System Design

The Ultima system’s all-in-one design allows for maximum testing comfort for the technician and the patient while utilizing the latest technology for unparalleled performance and reliability.

  • Full adjustable desktop allows for expansive personal workspace whether the technologist is sitting for standing.
  • Room-to-room portability with gas tanks.
  • Scheduler allows for automatic warm-up so the system is always ready for testing.

Test Specific Quick Calibration

The calibration tower allows for simplified gas calibration based on the test being performed (pulmonary function or metabolic) without compromising accuracy of test results and lab efficiency.

Proprietary Breath-by-Breath Testing Method

Offers superior breath measurement during both rest and exercise. Our preVent® flow sensor offers numerous advantages over other flow devices. The preVent is small, lightweight and comfortable. It can be either cleaned or discarded between patients yet meets all ATS/ERS requirements for accuracy.
 

12-Lead ECG is Powered by Mortara Instrument, Inc.

Mortara is the world leader in ECG technology. The Mortara system provides automated options, such as automatic arrhythmia detection and event marking to simplify test interpretation. An optional wireless ECG provides freedom for the patient and eliminates interference caused by traditional cable movement—producing a cleaner, higher-quality tracing.

Simplified Testing and Data Interpretation 

  • Easy calibration process requires only one flow calibration per day and one automated gas calibration before each test.
  • preVent® flow sensor and preVent® face mask are comfortable and lightweight.

Superior Infection Control

Having clear and defined infection control policies is important for your protection.

We give you three options for infection control - you make the choice that is right for you!

1. Change: simply change the filter and keep the same preVent® flow sensor and BreathPath™ patient circuit (Pulmonary Function Only).

2. Re-Use: change the flow sensor and patient circuit between patients and replace with disinfected components.

3. Dispose: dispose of the flow sensor and patient circuit after each patient.

Flow Sensor for Simplicity and Accuracy

Our proprietary preVent® flow sensor and DirectConnect™ metabolic flow sensor saves time between patients and provides maximum infection control compared to other pneumotach devices.

  • Eliminates warm-up or flow recalibration between patients.
  • Simple snap in setup contains no moving parts or electronics for maximum infection control.
  • Options to use with a filter (for PFT), sterilize, or discard, making it extremely versatile and cost effective.
  • Meets ATS/ERS standards and specifications.
