- Patient Information Setup:
Before performing a test, it is crucial to input patient information such as height, age, and sex. This data is used to calculate predicted values for pulmonary function parameters. Navigate to the patient management section using the control buttons and enter the required details.
6. Mode d'emploi
Follow these steps to perform a pulmonary function test:
- Préparez l'appareil :
- Ensure the device is powered on and fully charged or has sufficient battery.
