The Body-Mass-Index (BMI), impairment of lung function (FEV1%pred), dyspnea
and the physical exercise capacity (result of the 6-Minute Walk Test) are the
parameters used to calculate the BODE-Index. This index shows the various forms
of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and can be used to evaluate the
further course of this disease. Best value is "0"; worst value is "10".
The higher the BODE-Index, the poorer the prognosis.

or shade from direct sunlight.
Do not select the lap distance greater than
100 m.
The user can select in the preparation phase
which model of oximeter is to be paired using
