Diagnostic Applications

Obtaining Quality Sputum Samples for Diagnostic Use (including drug discovery): clinical studies have found the Lung Flute provides high quality sputum samples without bronchial inflammation and spasms often resulting from the use of hypertonic saline. Other benefits of the Lung Flute include:
- Allows samples to be gathered with greater frequency – as often as every 20 minutes vs. 48 hours with hypertonic saline
- Potential cost savings
New diagnostic tools in sputum cytology are appearing at regular intervals. The search and use of lung cancer biomarkers in sputum is an area of intense interest along with TB and pneumonia.
