Preparing a Spirometry Measurement

Select a measurement  
(e.g. <

Forced PRE Spirometry

>) 

via tapping.

The measurement is started by tapping on <

Start

>.

The "

Ambient Conditions

" window appears:

Current room temperature (°C)

Current relative humidity (%)

Current barometric pressure (hPa)

Please observe the instructions for hygiene of your 
system.

 Verify that a new 

ERT

 

PT with mouthpiece

 is 

attached in the SpiroSphere Sensor. 

The current ambient conditions are to be entered manually. In this case, the 
ambient data should be updated if the room temperature changed by more than 
2°C or if relative humidity changed by more than 10%.

The ATP-BTPS correction factors for inspiratory and expiratory  ows and 
volumes will be determined from the ambient data. Therefore, ambient data 
must be updated at regular intervals. Incorrect or imprecise ambient data will 
result in incorrect measurement results.

Tap on <

Continue

> to apply the ambient data entered.

Make the proper preparations according to ATS/ERS guidance.
