Biomedical devices for diagnosis of respiratory infections

Our breath analysers identify common respiratory infections from a single exhalation, even before the manifestation of symptoms

respiratory infections, a global challenge

deaths annually are caused by acute respiratory infections, a leading cause of death globally: 4.25M
of total actual respiratory infection cases are undiagnosed: > 97%
annual cost of respiratory viral infections in the EU and US: $100B

With the majority of cases remaining undiagnosed and a significant risk of future pandemics, earlier and faster diagnosis is key to reducing the spread of emerging viral infections, enabling timely treatment and mitigating their burden.

A seamless, non-invasive and rapid diagnostic process

The patient feels unwell or is suspected of being infected

The patient breathes into the device. The pathogen is identified within 3 minutes and displayed on the VAir GO screen.

Diagnostic results are automatically transferred to the Electronic Medical Record (EMR)

For the next test, the sterile tip is replaced and the device is disinfected. Any viruses inside the device are then inactivated

VAir’s non-invasive technology outperforms traditional diagnostic tools
