Minneapolis, MN USA -- Benson Medical Instruments announces the release of the much-anticipated CCS-200 Spirometer, an ingenious device that caters to the needs of the occupational health community.

The CCS-200 Spirometer produces accurate and repeatable spirograms for use in NIOSH-compliant programs. The single-use disposable mouthpiece mounts easily and securely in the handle and is removed after testing by the press of a button without contact. The rugged handle is made of ABS plastic and is comfortable to hold. Included operating software for Windows® leads the operator through the testing process by determining repeatability, grading the maneuvers, and detecting artifacts and errors. The CCS-200 uses state-of-the-art ultrasonic sensors to ensure accuracy with every maneuver as well as over the lifetime of the instrument.

Noteworthy features include flow/volume and volume/time graphs, spirogram interpretations, and numerous predicted sets. The removal of used mouthpieces without contact allows for a streamlined testing process, as does a step-by-step automated calibration check using a 3-liter syringe with 1-, 3- and 6-second flows. The CCS-200 determines FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC%, and other indices needed in spirometry, and uses the same database as Benson Medical audiometers. It comes with a one-year warranty.

"Current users of our CCA-200mini Plus audiometers are excited because the CCS-200 Spirometer features seamless integration into a shared database," David Mayou, Sales Manager for Benson Medical Instruments, states. "Not only that, but the unique push-button mechanism for disposing of used mouthpieces eliminates the need for operators or users to ever touch the contaminated mouthpiece." He adds, "This spirometer--unlike a host of other similar products made for other applications and fields--represents a solution designed specifically for the occupational health community. This frees our customers from having to adapt to older products that were aimed at pediatric or clinical markets."
