Select the ‘Patients’ icon to enter the
patient database.
The required patient may be selected
from the stored patient list.
If the patient details have not been
previously stored, select ‘Add’ to
enter the new patient’s details. The
patient details may also be
downloaded from the optional
Spirometry PC Software.
Once selected, the patient’s name
will appear at the bottom of the
screen.
Use the help button to obtain further
information.
To add a patient to the database, use
the on-screen keyboard to type a
unique patient ID and then touch the
enter key.
You will then be prompted for Last
Name, First Name, Sex, Ethnic
Origin, Height, Weight, date of Birth
and Factor.
A factor can be applied when testing
individuals of other ethnic origins who
would not normally be tested against
the countries set of predicted values.
The factor alters the predicted value
set on volume indices by the
percentage applied. If NHANES
predicted values are selected, then
the ethnic origin field should be
chosen but a factor correction is not
required.
