Vyntus IOS

IOS Impulse Oscillometry
Tidal breathing analysis with Impulse Oscillometry (IOS) has demonstrated to be informative and differentiated in the early detection and follow up of pulmonary diseases like asthma, COPD and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. IOS is almost independent of patient cooperation and can test a larger patient range than spirometry alone, from children to adult to geriatric patients.

IOS is available as a stand-alone device combined with a spirometry measurement program (MasterScreen IOS and Vyntus IOS) or as an add-on module to the MasterScreen series.

Features & Benefits

Assessment and differentiation of airway function under quiet breathing conditions.
Sensitive and early detection of pulmonary obstruction. Asthma patients may be asymptomatic with normal spirometry and still show levels of increased airway resistance. IOS measures impedance at different frequencies indicative of central and peripheral airway resistance.
Allows differentiation of central (proximal) airways resistance and peripheral (distal) airways resistance.
Bronchodilator therapy often does not reach the peripheral airways. IOS can provide objective response to drug therapy even when FEV1 can’t.
Monitor the effect of bronchial provocation on airway tone.
Automatic classification and interpretation of results with SentrySuite software.

How does IOS work?

The oscillations of the multi- frequency measurement signal penetrate the respiration tract at varying depths. Whereas 20 Hz signals are absorbed (shunted) in the large airways, 5 Hz oscillations penetrate the entire lung. Thus, the respiratory resistance Rrs of the large airways can be differentiated from the lung reactance Xrs of the small airways.

Impulse oscillometry and plethysmography should be considered the preferred techniques for measuring bronchodilation in COPD Clinical Trials¹
Several forced oscillation measures are more accurate and sensitive for detecting bronchodilator response than FEV(1) in patients with asthma²
Airway resistance measured by IOS during methacholine challenge correlates better with asthma symptoms than traditional spirometric measures implying a higher sensitivity index³
Impulse oscillometry provides an effective measure of lung dysfunction in 4-year-old children at risk for persistent asthma⁴
Spirometry underestimated the prevalence of lung function abnormalities in comparison to forced oscillation⁵
