Spirometry Pulmonary Function Test
Asthma, COPD, occupational, fitness-to-work.
Spirometry measures forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), and the FEV1/FVC ratio. We test for occupational health programs (firefighters, construction, healthcare workers exposed to respirators), asthma diagnosis and control, COPD baseline and monitoring, and pre-operative pulmonary clearance.
10 minutes · three forced exhalations.
After a brief screening interview, you exhale forcefully into a calibrated spirometer three times. We compare the best curve against age-, sex-, and height-adjusted predicted values. Bronchodilator testing (pre/post salbutamol) adds another 15 minutes. Reports are reviewed by a respirologist when indicated.

Frequently Asked
How should I prepare?
No smoking 1 hour before, no heavy meal 2 hours before, avoid short-acting bronchodilators 6 hours before unless your physician advises otherwise.
Is it covered by MSP?
MSP covers spirometry when ordered by a physician for diagnostic indications. Occupational and self-requested tests are self-pay (typically $85–$150).
Can I bring outside reports?
Yes — bring prior spirometry reports for trend comparison. We integrate them into your file.
