PFT/Spirometry

Spirometry is a kind of pulmonary function test (PFT) that shows how well a person can move air in and out of their lungs. Many industries where workers can possibly be exposed to lung hazards require regular spirometry testing.

Lake City Company Care is proud to offer NIOSH/OSHA certified spirometry testing as well as respirator physicals and respirator mask fit testing.

Tuberculosis Testing

Tuberculosis (TB) testing is often needed for jobs in the healthcare industry, for people who are teaching or for students who are starting college.

Tuberculosis (TB) testing is often needed for employment or for school. There are two types of TB tests; skin test and blood test. We provide both of them at Lake City Company Care.

The most accurate way to test for TB is through a blood test. For this test, a healthcare professional will draw the patient’s blood and send it out to a lab for analysis. Lake City Company Care utilizes QuantiFERON Gold (QFC) for all of our TB blood tests.

An alternate and more economical way to test for TB is by administering a tuberculin skin test (TST). This test is also called a PPD because during the test, purified protein derivative (PPD) is injected into the top layer of the patient’s skin. In 48-72 hours the patient must return to the clinic for a “PPD read” when healthcare professional assesses the site of the injection and delivers results.

At Lake City Company Care, you don’t need an appointment for TB testing but please note that PPDs cannot be placed on Thursdays.

Respirator Fit Test/N95 Mask Fit Test

A respirator fit test analyzes the seal between a respirator/mask and your face. OSHA requires fit tests to be done annually for workers who encounter possible respiratory hazards in the workplace.

At Lake City Company Care, we do qualitative fit testing to determine if your mask creates a seal or if there is leakage into your respirator/mask. Fit testing takes about fifteen to twenty minutes and you must bring your own mask. You are required to be tested using the exact same make, model, style, and size respirator/mask that you will be using at work.

Audiograms

To qualify for certain jobs, you need a pre-employment hearing test. Other professions are required by OSHA to have periodic audiometric testing due to workplace noise exposures.

At Lake City Company Care we can assist your business with your occupational audiology needs. We have a sound booth onsite and can perform audiograms that meet OSHA standards. Additionally, our staff is CAOHC certified in conducting hearing testing and implementing or supervising hearing conservation programs.
