Give the following instructions to the subject to ensure that
testing is performed properly, first demonstrating youself with
a mouthpiece (adding "like this"):
•
"I am now going to test how fast you can blow out"
•
"Inhale as deeply as possible, and hold your breath"
•
"Insert the mouthpiece into your mouth, biting it lightly"
•
"Close your lips round the mouthpiece".
•
Exhale as fast as possible, keep going, go on..."
•
Keep the subject exhaling for at least 6 seconds. An
animated performance by the operator is essential to
get the subject to perform a good test.
Testing will be accompanied by audible feedback if
Sound is selected in the Setup menu. If inspiratory
parameters are required, continue with:
"Now, fully inhale as quickly as possible"
The unit is ready to accept another test when two beeps
occur (if Sound is enabled). After resting time, re-test the
subject until you are satisfied that a good FVC has been
performed or until the unit beeps five times, which indicates
that the ATS criteria for test quality have been fulfilled or that
eight tests have been completed in this session.
Take back the spirometer and congratulate:
•
"Well done".
