Allergic respiratory diseases (ARD), including asthma and allergic rhinitis, represent a significant global health challenge. These conditions are characterized by various symptoms resulting from immune responses to environmental allergens.
Ganshorn Medizin Electronic GmbH is a German manufacturer of advanced diagnostic equipment for respiratory functional diagnostics. Its solutions are widely used in pulmonology, allergology, and sports medicine.
Why Ganshorn?
Ganshorn has established itself as a leader in lung function diagnostics by integrating cutting-edge technologies into its systems. For over 40 years, the company has been at the forefront of innovation, offering a broad portfolio of devices for spirometry, body plethysmography, diffusion testing, bronchial provocation, and cardiopulmonary stress testing.
Traditional vs Modern Diagnostic Approaches: What Works Best?
Traditional allergy diagnostics often involve skin prick testing and IgE blood tests, which are essential for identifying allergens and patient sensitivities.
However, comprehensive diagnosis also requires functional assessment of the lungs. In clinical settings, both traditional and modern functional methods—such as Ganshorn's SpiroScout and PowerCube Body+—are applied.
While traditional methods identify the cause of allergies, functional diagnostics reveal their impact on the respiratory system. Together, they allow for accurate diagnosis and effective disease management.
Ganshorn’s systems like SpiroScout and PowerCube Body+ offer a full spectrum of tools to allergists. SpiroScout enables precise FEV1/VC measurements—even in small children—without the need for calibration, using safe ultrasound technology. PowerCube Body+ complements spirometry with body plethysmography, RAW and TLC analysis, bronchial provocation testing (Provo.X), therapy monitoring, and remote telehealth capabilities.
In a world where the quality of diagnosis defines quality of life, such technologies form the foundation of a new, function-oriented medical approach. Use tools that see more—diagnose deeper, treat smarter.
