RESMON PRO V3: a portable device with the features of a complete desktop system. With an innovative user interface developed with the support of cognitive experts and with new faster electronics, RESMON PRO v3  is a professional medical device based on FOT, developed for a complete, in-depth functional assessment of respiratory system. RESMON PRO V3 is a diagnostic complement to spirometry for pulmonologists, pediatricians, allergologists to easily assess in a single test:

Resmon PRO DIARY is a medical device specifically developed to measure accurately the lung function using FOT and monitor patient’s status at home on a daily basis and with no need of direct medical supervision. Its user-friendly interface leads the patient through the measurement session that can include customizable questionnaires to collect patient’s symptoms or other physiological measures such as level of oxygen saturation and body weight.

Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) is a noninvasive method to assess lung function during normal breathing. Differently from spirometry, where the subject is requested to forcefully and repeatedly exhale all the air from the maximum to the lowest reachable lung volume, FOT uses a small pressure oscillation (equivalent to the pressure exerted by 2 cm of water) over imposed on regular quiet breathing to “force” a small quantity of air to move in and out the respiratory system. To separate the response of the respiratory system from the spontaneous breathing activity, the respiratory system is stimulated using pressure oscillations that are at least 10 times faster of the human breathing frequencies ranging from 4 Hz up to 40 Hz. Since slow pressures (i.e. < 10 Hz) are more able to probe lung periphery ((Bates & Suki, 2008) they are used to measure the entire system alone or in combination with faster stimuli.
