and, beneath it, the percentage deviation and the average flow velocity of
the pump stroke.
You can repeat the test, print the result or quit the program. The calibration
test remains stored and can also be viewed or printed out later.
If you do not reach ±3% accuracy, please follow the troubleshooting
instructions in chapter

DLCO Calibration Check
The American Thoracic Society (ATS) recommends checking DLCO
calibration on a weekly basis or whenever irregularities are suspected. DLCO
calibration can be checked with a DLCO simulator (see following section) or
with a test subject (see
"Calibration Check with Test Subject"
In addition, the ATS/ERS guidelines (Literature [11], page 166) describe a
third method for checking DLCO calibration for which a 3-L syringe is used.
