Diffusion
The Ergocard CPX Professional allows performing several techniques of lung diffusing
capacity:
• Single breath real time DLCO technique with Helium or Methane tracer gas
• Intrabreath DLCO
Test gas mixture can be delivered in two different ways:
• Using an inspiratory bag
• Using a demand valve
