Vitalograph micro - Instructions for Use
between tests so that they are registered as separate sessions and
separate reports can be generated.
Note:
A session ends and is saved when one of the following occur:
the device is turned off, a new subject is created, the device is
connected to Device Studio.
5.2.3. Post Bronchodilator (Post) Test
A Post test session may be performed on the last FVC pre-test
session performed. The device will retain the last pre-bronchodilator
test (pre-test) even when it is turned off and on again and/or the
data has been transmitted to Device Studio.
To perform a Post test
:
1. Select ‘Post Mode’ from the
Main Menu
.
2. Perform the Post FVC test as outlined in section 5.2.2
Performing an FVC Test.
Note:
A Post Test may only be selected if an FVC pre-test has been
completed. When leaving the Post FVC test screen and returning to
the main menu the user will not be able to select either the VC or
FVC test (they will be greyed out) as the micro is still in Post mode,
unless the pre-FVC contains VC data in which case the VC will still be
available.
5.2.4. Saving the Test Session
The micro has the capacity to store a maximum of 325 subject
entries with the corresponding session data. Only the best 3 blows
will be stored with each session. The session information will also
include the subject details entered and the best pre-test if there is a
Post-test session.
The micro is intended to be used as a temporary storage device.
It may be connected to Device Studio to produce pdf reports of
the session data, this will move all subject/sessions to the Device
Studio application and flag them as deleted on the device except for
the last FVC Pre-test.
