Post-Medication Tests
In order to carry out post-medication tests for comparison, select the `POST` from the test menu.
NOTE:
THE POST OPTION IS ONLY AVAILABLE WHEN A `PRE` TEST HAS BEEN CARRIED
OUT. WHEN A POST MEASUREMENT IS NOT POSSIBLE THE MENU OPTION IS
DIMMED. ON SWITCH ON, THE `POST` OPTION IS AVAILABLE FOR THE LAST
PATIENT BEFORE THE UNIT WAS SWITCHED OFF.

The post-medication tests are carried out in the same way as the premedication tests. The printout
following post-medication tests will give the curves of both pre and post-medication tests (the post
medication curve is dashed). 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.
TO MINIMIZE THE DANGER OF CROSS INFECTION, DISPOSE OF THE
MOUTHPIECE IMMEDIATELY AFTER ALL TESTS HAVE BEEN CARRIED OUT.
