The 6-Minute Walk Test determines the physical fitness of patients suffering from
chronic lung disease and heart insufficiency. The test is non technical and can be
easily understood by the patient. It is suitable for monitoring the medical
condition as well as the therapeutical benefit of a treatment. The SpO2 and heart
rate values measured by a fingerclip and the total distance covered during the walk
test provide information about the physical fitness of the patient.
Patients suffering from lung diseases often have poor oxygen perfusion from
the blood to the lungs. This can result in a low oxygen saturation (SpO2).
Patients with a low oxygen saturation due to illness need to be observed
particularly during the 6-Minute Walk Test.
The standard value of oxygen saturation is 95 to 100%, a value below 90%
becomes critical.
With the use of Vyntus WALK, patient's SpO2 and heart rate values are measured,
transferred to a Tablet PC via Bluetooth and, if applicable, saved via WLAN in the
SentrySuite database or the Hospital Information System "HIS", respectively.
For instructions on how to interface with SentrySuite, please refer to the document
