SpirOxCard® Spirometer / Pulse Oximeter
Testimonials


"The SpirOxCard brings pulmonary function testing within the reach of every physician. It also dramatically increases our ability to diagnose and monitor pulmonary function in the home and worksite, where this information is often critically needed."

"Hello to the folks at QRS!

I am writing today because your product line would be very useful in my job. I am a home health nurse... and have dreamt for years about computer devices that would speed up the time consuming and expensive tasks involved in taking vital signs, lugging around the pulse oximetry machine (if one is available), then having to return it to the office (32 miles round trip), and having to record mountains of patient information again and again on every patient.

We used to get rhythm strips on patients but stopped because we couldn't transmit the information to the M.D., at least not in a timely fashion. So we do everything with paper and pencil, just like nurses did 200 years ago, I suppose. So when I saw your banner in "All Things CE" I just couldn't believe it, finally somebody invented the wheel. I was ready to order every item on your menu, I could use all of them"...

I was just waiting for the day my CE device could take and record vitals, oximetry readings, EKG strips, etc., and date stamp the results with the patients' I.D., this would save me at least five hours per week and who knows the value of having consistently accurate, reliable data. This translates to over $5,000 a year just in salary alone! Every home health agency in the country will be knocking on your door!"

"Just a few words about the technology coming out of your shop. As a NASA Commercial Space Center for medical informatics, we are constantly looking into techniques and equipment to enhance patient data collection. Part of our mandate is to seek out innovative solutions from industrial partners like QRS.

However, finding the technology is only part of the process. Our test beds take our researchers and physicians around the globe. From the elevations of Mt. Everest to the jungles of Ecuador, from the polar extremes of the Arctic Circle to the war-torn regions of Kosovo, we pack, ship, haul and re-assemble portable telemedicine systems in quite a few interesting places. We have taken the SpiroCard to some of these places as well as numerous trade shows. I am particularly impressed with the user-friendly activation and heuristic interface.

We have recently acquired the new SpirOxCard and look forward to testing it as well. Thank you QRS for your persistent attention to not only technical requirements but also the human interface."

"PCT has for some time now been investigating measurement technologies for use in the home. QRS' approach is uniquely well suited to our company's vision of patient-oriented care management software. As the convergence of computing and consumer electronics enables simple, patient-oriented in-home information systems, the QRS technology is ideally suited to play a role in tomorrow's telecare systems."
