the following data to be written to the Health application: height, weight, PEF and FEV1
•
the following data to be read from the Health application: height, weight, date of birth,
gender.
Authorisation for each parameter can be given or denied.
b) entering your own personal data: date of birth, origins, weight, height, gender.
The
MIR SMART ONE OXI
will use this data to calculate the baseline values of the PEF and
to assign a colour indicator to your test (green, yellow or red). Consult the
CALCULATION OF
BASELINE VALUES
section for a full detailed explanation of the baseline value. If the data is
not entered a warning message appears.

HOW SMART ONE OXI WORKS
SMART ONE OXI
is an electronic device for domestic use which precisely measures your PEF
(Peak Expiratory Flow) and the FEV1 (maximal expiratory volume in the 1st second, VEMS).
The device also measures the parameters related to the oximetry test in particular the SpO2
and the BPM.
The
PEF
is the
maximal expiratory volume
with which the air can be expelled from the lungs
after having drawn breath in deeply, while the
FEV1
is the
maximal expiratory volume
of
air a person can exhale from the lungs in one second after taking as big a breath as possible.
WHAT IS THE SCIENTIFIC BASIS FOR MEASUREMENT OF PEF AND FEV1 AT HOME?
The first portable
mechanical measuring instrument
for calculating PEF was introduced by
B. Wright in 1959. The wide use made of this device for monitoring children
above five years
of age
and adults made this instrument popular for tracing the respiratory conditions of
patients with asthma and other pulmonary dysfunctions.
Electronic measuring instruments
, economical, small, portable and easy to use for assessing
respiratory dysfunction are now widely available. These offer numerous advantages,
including the possibility of recording the
PEF
and
FEV1
, and
recording and transferring the
data to a physician
or another licensed healthcare professional.
