For the FVC tests the flow-volume and time-volume curves are displayed as shown in the image on the right
side, to view the test parameters simply touch the screen
The following screen shots display the previously selected parameters from the service menu including the
percentage change from the predicted values.
Oximetry tests display the selected parameters from the service menu and are shown just like the spirometry
parameters above.

The icons ◄◄ and ►► are displayed only if there are more than 32 tests in memory. These icons let the user scroll blocks of 32
sessions at a time.

If no test has been performed yet but a previous test session of the patient under
examination already exists in the database, the previous procedure allows to view the
previous test session. If instead both the last test session and previous test session are
available the procedure allows to select which session to view as can be seen on the
screen to the right.
If a patient has instead performed a test in the current session and previous tests are archived, the following screenshot is displayed:
2.11 PC On line mode (connected to a PC)
In the PC on-line mode the Spirodoc becomes a fully functional laboratory device which works in real-time connected to a PC. PC
interface is via USB cable.
The Spirodoc becomes an intelligent transducer for the measurement of volume and flow while the PC controls the device including
the on and off function.
Other than the usual spirometric parameters and the F/V in real-time the Spirodoc also plots the most refined indices such as the
ventilatory profile and the extrapolated volume (Vext).
The PC software incorporates the most up to date bronchial provocation protocols displaying the dose-response and time-response of
the FEV1
WARNING
When the device is connected to the PC, it cannot be controlled directly. The settings defined on the PC are then transferred
to the device and remain set even in subsequent direct use; if, for example, a turbine (disposable or reusable) is set while
using the SPIRODOC connected to the PC, it will remain as the default in any subsequent use of the device in direct mode
until the device is restarted. Therefore, pay attention to the type of turbine set.
2.12 Spirometry testing
In order to perform proper spirometry testing the following instructions are to be followed carefully:
• Insert the turbine in the appropriate housing until it reaches the mechanic stop and successively rotate the turbine clockwise until it
stops. Insert the mouthpiece at least 0.5 cm inside the groove of the turbine.
• Place the noseclips on the nose so as not to let any air out of the patient's nostrils.
• Hold the Spirodoc from both ends with both hands or grasp it like a mobile phone. The touch screen must always face the patient
taking the test.
• Place the upper part of the mouthpiece in the mouth making sure that no air leaks from the sides of the mouth.
