Medical testing equipment

The stethoscope (from Ancient Greek () and () ) is a medical device for auscultation, or listening to internal sounds of an animal or human body. It typically has a small disc-shaped resonator that is placed against the naked skin, with either one or two tubes connected to two earpieces. A stethoscope can be used to listen to the sounds made by the heart, lungs or intestines, as well as blood flow in arteries and veins. In combination with a manual sphygmomanometer, it is commonly used when measuring blood pressure. It was invented in 1816 by René Laennec and the binaural version by Arthur Lea

A spirometer is an apparatus for measuring the volume of air inspired and expired by the lungs. A spirometer measures ventilation, the movement of air into and out of the lungs. The spirogram will identify two different types of abnormal ventilation patterns, obstructive and restrictive. There are various types of spirometers that use a number of different methods for measurement (pressure transducers, ultrasonic, water gauge).

A pneumograph, also known as a pneumatograph or spirograph, is a device for recording velocity and force of chest movements during respiration. While spirometry measures respiratory rate and other markers of respiratory health via analysis of the airflow from the lungs during inhalation and exhalation, pneumography measures the respiratory rate via chest motion.

Ballistocardiography (BCG) is the measurement of ballistic forces generated by the heart. The downward movement of blood through the descending aorta produces an upward recoil, moving the body upward with each heartbeat. As different parts of the aorta expand and contract, the body continues to move downward and upward in a repeating pattern. Ballistocardiography is a technique for producing a graphical representation of repetitive motions of the human body arising from the sudden ejection of blood into the great vessels with each heart beat. It is a vital sign in the 1–20 Hz frequency range w

A stromuhr (literally: German for stream clock) was a medical instrument designed by Carl Ludwig in 1867 to measure the strength of flow in major arteries and veins by means of animal experiments.

Use the blood-gas-attached and 'peripheral' devices as alternative devices. A pulse CO-oximeter is a non-invasive, multi-wavelength instrument that measures the oxygen carrying state of hemoglobin in a blood specimen, including oxygen-carrying hemoglobin (O2Hb), non-oxygen-carrying but normal hemoglobin (HHb) as well as the dyshemoglobins such as carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) and methemoglobin (MetHb). Pulse CO-oximeters use four or more wavelengths w
