A model originally designed to fit population growth data was investigated to determine whether it could fit spirometric traces as a function of time in normal and ill humans and in normal rats, obtained, respectively, by spirometer and whole-body plethysmography. The model showed great accuracy when applied to a simple spirometer coupled with an analog-to-digital converter interfaced with a personal computer. It also proved to be a good alternative for the more expensive and less accurate electronic devices, as derivative systems, and may be an attractive method for research and/or diagnostic centers.
