KoKo

What KoKo does

KoKo, LLC is a privately held medical device company specializing in pulmonary function testing (PFT) systems and respiratory diagnostics software. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes spirometers (the FDA-approved SX1000 and the CE-marked Smart USB), comprehensive PFT machines including the Smart Body System (Px 4000N) with plethysmography and the Smart Diffusion module for DLCO testing, OEM respirometers (Wright Mark 8, Wright Mark 14, and Haloscale Standard), and single-patient-use bacterial/viral filtration consumables. Its underlying technology is anchored by a proprietary flow sensor that does not drift with heat and offers very low flow restriction, delivering accuracy better than ±3% and a claimed lowest cost-per-test operation. The KoKo Smart PFT Software platform provides HL7-based EMR/HIS interoperability, ATS/ERS-compliant interpretation, longitudinal analysis, and IRIS Analytical Reports, supporting both standalone private practices and multi-facility enterprises.

KoKo serves a primarily healthcare-provider customer base — hospitals, pulmonary/critical care departments, and private practice physicians performing spirometry, DLCO, lung volumes, and airway resistance testing — with a secondary segment in pharmaceutical companies requiring validated spirometry for clinical trials. The company operates a sales-led go-to-market combining direct phone/email sales, a free business analysis offering, and a structured distributor network: Respitech Medical Inc. for the United States, Ambriex for Brazil, and MediTech-PL and Smart PFT for Europe and the UK. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales of PFT devices, bundled software licensing, recurring consumable filter revenue, and professional support services under a one-year warranty. KoKo holds FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance for the SX1000, EU CE marking for the Smart USB, GDPR and CCPA privacy compliance, and operates with a footprint spanning the US, UK, Europe, and Brazil through its channel partner model.
