13 devices · GMDN 11850

A gasometer is a calibrated container, typically balanced over water, designed to measure lung gas volumes. This device, also known as a wet spirometer, is used clinically to assess pulmonary function by quantifying the amount of air a person can inhale and exhale.

Gasometers represent older technology in respiratory measurement devices. These devices are typically supplied as standalone instruments and are regulated according to their intended use as measurement devices in pulmonary function testing.
