The difference between Cosmed and ReeVue (and why we carry Cosmed)
- Cosmed devices have real-time quality control measurements to detect a leak in masks, improper breathing and avoid extratesting and longer test time.
- Part of the software package for the Fitmate gives you the ability to fully customize your reports (ReeVue has a standard/pre-set report).
- Fitmate has a capacity to store over 500 tests in the device itself, as well as having an internal printer. The Korr ReeVue cannot store any reports, and the results have to be printed immediately following each test.
- Fitmate shows real-time data display on wide color LCD screen, ReeVue has a 15 character display.
Cost
- CosMed Fitmate: $5500 / FItmate Pro: $7900 (that has V02/exercise testing as well, FDA approved)
- Korr ReeVue: $4995
Disposables
- Cosmed has either re-usable masks ($130 per), 5 different sizes / Disposables are $390 / 50 ($7.50 per )
- ReeVue only has disposables, $125 / 20 ALSO needs Metabreather (per test) $180/20

Home Sleep Testing (HST) brings the diagnosis and management of OSA to the front lines of primary care. Patients can be tested in the comfort and convenience of their own homes without an observer and with fewer sensors attached to their body. This reduces anxiety, leads to a more natural night of sleep, and improves patient acceptance of test protocol.
Sleepview provides a monitor for home recording of sleep and a web portal for access to registered polysomnographic technologists. Board-certified sleep physicians provide scoring, professional interpretation, and treatment recommendations.

Office spirometry is quickly becoming a vital tool for doctors. Here are three reasons why you should consider adding this medical device to your practice:
1. Your Office sees patients with indications for spirometry.
- According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), COPD is now the third leading cause of death in the U.S.A.
- Of the top three diseases which include heart disease and cancer, COPD is the only disease that is increasing in prevalence rather than decreasing.
- The number of Americans with COPD is estimated at 24 million, but only half of them have been diagnosed with the disease. There is one death every four minutes, more than breast cancer and diabetes combined.
According to the Allergy and Asthma Foundation of America, every day in America:
- 40,000 people miss school or work due to asthma;
- 30,000 people have an asthma attack;
- 5,000 people visit the emergency room due to asthma;
- 1,000 people are admitted to the hospital due to asthma;
- 11 people die from asthma;
2. Office spirometry is cost effective and generates revenue.
- Office spirometry is third party reimbursable with an average reimbursement of $35 for a simple five minute non-invasive test.
- The average primary care physician performs 10 tests per week and pays for their equipment in two months or less.
- Mouthpieces and other spirometry supplies are cost effective.
3. Equipment is easy to use.
- Unless the equipment is easy to use, it will not be fully utilized by your staff.
- All Micro Direct spirometers are menu driven via a large graphic display and the test takes less than five minutes to perform.
- Some manufacturers such as Schiller and SDI include printable reports built into the spirometer.
- The equipment performs all of the calculations, test quality control checks, and provides a confirming diagnostic interpretation.
