| During spirometry testing, patients exhale bacteria and viruses. Without a filter, these bacteria and viruses are exhaled into your PFT equipment.
Futuremed’s new, economical bacterial filters effectively trap 99.99% of bacteria and 99.90% of virus, protecting your spirometer from expectorated matter. Their low resistance lets you preserve the accuracy of your spirometry testing.

What makes these filters unique is that each is packed individually and includes a separate mouthpiece made of soft plastic. This addition makes the filter durable, more resistant to moisture, and easier on your patient's lips.
Futuremed filters are available for most pulmonary function testing instruments.
