b. If the RMR port is errantly plugged, a red light will flash over
the port. Simply move the cap to the other port.
2. Wait for Device to be Ready. Calibration automatically begins at the
start of a new test.
a. Device will display,
Calibrating. Please wait.
b. It is important that nothing is blocking the RMR intake port
during calibration so air can flow freely through the device.
Make sure no hose or plug is attached. If the airflow is
constricted, an alarm will sound prompting you to remove the
restriction. The calibration can then be resumed.
3. Calibration Complete. When the calibration is complete, the device
indicates
Waiting for First Breath
.
4. Connect MetaBreatherMAX to CardioCoach PRO.
a. Place the single-use MetaBreatherMAX in the client’s mouth.
b. Have the client make a good seal around the
MetaBreatherMAX mouthpiece.
c. Connect MetaBreatherMAX to the RMR port of the
CardioCoach PRO.
5. Check Comfort. Verify that that MetaBreatherMAX mouthpiece is
comfortable.
a. Flex the tube to a position that will support itself.
b. The mouthpiece can be rotated within the tube to ensure
comfort.
6. Position Nose Clip. Place the nose clip on the client’s nose and verify
that no air is leaking out of the nose.
a. If a nose clip is not used, air that is exhaled through the
nostrils will not pass through the CardioCoach PRO, leading to
erroneously low readings.
b. The client may remove or adjust the mouthpiece or nose clip
at any time during the test for one or two breaths. Removing
the nose clip or mouthpiece for a few breaths during the test
will not degrade the accuracy of the measurement.
7. Help Client Relax. The most accurate results are achieved when the
client is relaxed. Remove distractions. Avoid noise, cold, and stress.
8. CardioCoach PRO will display
Detecting Stable Breathing
until the
client has completely relaxed and the unit has detected stable data.
9. Start Test. Once stable data has been detected, the CardioCoach PRO
will begin testing.
10. The RMR test will proceed for a minimum of ten minutes or until the
minimum test time has been reached, based on the test time
settings.
11. Display. During the RMR test, a screen similar to the one shown
below displays.
