What Is a Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) at Home?

• A specialist interprets the results and issues a report.

The procedure is non-invasive. It mainly requires your cooperation in breathing as guided.

Who Should Consider PFT Test at Home in Bangalore?

What Does Ghar Pe Diagnostics PFT Measure?

During a GPD PFT at home, the spirometer measures:

• FVC (Forced Vital Capacity) – the total amount of air you can blow out after a deep breath.
• FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second) – how much air you can exhale in the first second.
• FEV1/FVC ratio – helps distinguish between obstructive (e.g. asthma, COPD) and restrictive patterns.
• Other lung function parameters as per your doctor's request.

These values help your doctor:

• Confirm or rule out asthma/COPD.
• See how well inhalers or medicines are working.
• Decide if your condition is stable, improving or worsening.

How Does PFT at Home with Ghar Pe Diagnostics Work?

1. Book your PFT appointment
   Use Appointments or Contact & Bookings and mention "PFT / Pulmonary Function Test at home", along with your location and doctor's prescription (if available).
2. Slot and preparation confirmation
   We confirm your time slot and give simple instructions, such as:
   - Wear comfortable clothing.
   - Avoid heavy meals just before the test.
   - Follow your doctor's advice on inhalers.
3. Technician visit and PFT test at home
   A trained technician visits with a portable PFT machine:
   - Explains the procedure and demonstrates how to use the mouthpiece.
   - Places a nose clip if needed and guides you through breathing manoeuvres.
   - Repeats the test a few times to get reliable readings.
4. Interpretation and report
   Your PFT data is analysed and interpreted by a qualified specialist. A structured report is shared with you digitally and can be forwarded to your doctor.

The PFT test at home usually takes 20–30 minutes including set-up and practice.

Is a PFT Test at Home Safe and Reliable?

Yes. A Pulmonary Function Test at home is:

• Safe – It involves breathing into a device; no injections or radiation.
• Standardised – We use calibrated spirometers similar to those in hospitals.
• Hygienic – Single-use mouthpieces and proper sanitisation are followed.
• Clinically meaningful – Reports are read by experts and accepted by doctors and hospitals.

PFT requires effort, so you may feel slightly tired or breathless during the test, but this is expected. The technician will guide you and let you rest between attempts.
