Patient
Effort |
Requires
clinician to evaluate acceptable or unacceptable patient effort.
Discards tests the clinician deems as unacceptable. |
|
Variability |
Compares
indices of current test with best test in memory. Displays and
prints variability as % or as absolute difference (user selectable
in customization). Variability greater than 5% or 0.2L (depending
on user selection) for the FVC and/or the FEV1 is regarded as poor
reproducibility. |
|
Expiratory
Time |
If
forced expiratory time is less than 6 seconds, a "TEST TOO
SHORT" message will be displayed. |
|
Extrapolated
Volume |
If
extrapolated volume is greater than 5% of the FVC, a "SLOW
