AIR NEXT TESTS
PARAMETERS SUCH AS:
(Forced Expiratory Volume
FEV1
in 1 second) The volume of air (l)
exhaled in the first second during
a forced maximal expiratory effort
after a full inspiration.
(Forced Vital Capacity) The
FVC
total volume of air (l) exhaled during
a forced maximal expiratory effort
after a full inspiration.
(Ratio) The calculated
FEV1/FVC
result obtained by dividing FEV1
with FVC.
(Peak Expiratory Flow) The
PEF
maximum flow rate (l/s) during a
forced maximal expiratory effort
after a full inspiration.
The final results displayed in the ap-
plication are always the best values
obtained after performing
the desired number of tests includ-
ed in a session. The recommended
number of tests per session is 3,
however the user can perform up
to 8 tests.
Displayed test are compared to a
reference table (GLI) and displayed
as percent predictive value
(%pred.).
The reference values for predicted
normal lung function (FEV1, FVC,
FEV1/FVC, PEF) are based on ethnici-
ty, gender, age and height.
Interpretation of spirometric results
should be made by a physician or
allied health care
professional with suffcient training
in the performance and interpreta-
tion of spirometry.
