EasyOne Pro™ / EasyOne Pro™ LAB
1.7 Intended Use
The ndd
EasyOne Pro™
Respiratory Analysis System is designed for
conducting lung function measurements in general or specialist practices or
in hospitals.
The
EasyOne Pro™
Respiratory Analysis System can also be used outside of
the laboratory when performing lung function screenings or measurements
in occupational medicine.
The
EasyOne Pro™
Respiratory Analysis System is used to conduct lung
function measurements on adults and children starting at age 4, except
measurements of Diffusing Capacity of the lung based on CO (DLCO), which
can be performed on adults and children starting at age 6.
1.8 Contraindications to Performing DLCO Tests
Do not perform a DLCO test
in the presence of carbon monoxide toxicity
in case of dangerous levels of oxyhemoglobin desaturation without
supplemental oxygen
1.9 Additional Functions of
EasyOne Pro™ LAB
EasyOne Pro™ LAB
includes the measurement of the FRC (Functional
Residual Capacity) based on the Multiple Breath Nitrogen (N
2
) Washout
method. This method is based on washing out the N
2
from the lungs, while
the patient breathes 100% oxygen. The analysis of the expired N
2
trace is
used to compute the FRC and other parameters like LCI (Lung Clearance
Index) that are used to quantify distribution inhomogeneities of the lung.
The test is based on tidal breathing only and can easily be performed in
adults and children starting at age 4.
