Procedure Overview
11.
Repeat as many times as required (Best, or Meas. 1).
Repeat steps 8 and 9 until three measurements have been taken
.
Note: If the Start key is again pressed (a fourth or more times), only the best three measurements are stored.
When American standards are stipulated, the message ‚`ATS criteria met` appears on the printout if the deviation (as stipulated
by the American Thoracic Society) between the best and second best measurements is not greater than 200ml.
Following a series of patient measurements the best two results are recorded and stored along with the last test made (which
may or may not be one of the best three). These three results can then be printed graphical along with a table of the best
individual measurements (from these three results). The table of the best measurements can also be displayed on the screen.
12.
Dispose of the mouthpiece immediately after completing the tests (page 42) to eliminate the danger of
cross infection.
Post-Medication Tests
In order to carry out post-medication tests for comparison, press key '7'

The post-medication tests are carried out in the same way as the premedication tests (three measurements stored). The printout
following post-medication tests will give the curves of both pre and post-medication tests (the premedication curve is bold). The
measurement results are shown as the best results (pre/post), results as a percentage of those predicted, (both pre and post) and the
percentage change (i.e. difference) between pre and post-medication results.
The diagnosis resulting from the premedication test is also given on this printout.
