Summary section - this reports the variability between the blow being observed and the Best
Blow in the same exam stage for FEV1 and FVC, in both percentage and millilitres.
The ATS/ERS 2019 update also introduces the concept of Exam Grade. This is an overall
grade that is given to an exam based upon how many FEV1 and FVCs were
acceptable/usable/not usable and what the reproducibility between the best values was.
The operator should always aim to get the highest exam grade possible. The grading
system goes as follows (from best to worst): A, B, C, D, E, U, F. The Exam Grade is
displayed on-screen in the Examination Summary section:
Once the operator is satisfied that the exam is at the best quality level attainable, the DONE
button can be clicked to finalise the exam.
After DONE is clicked examination notes can be added, a report can be printed, or a PDF
report can be exported. The exam will automatically be saved into the database from where
it can be reviewed in the future.
The EXAMINATION NOTES feature can be accessed by clicking on the pane at bottom of
the list of tests:
