10. PERFORMING TESTS
The GoSpiro spirometer transmits real-time lung function data and
diagnostic quality indices to computers, tablets or smartphones running
GoSpiro compatible data collection software. The GoSpiro transmission
interface is via a Bluetooth connection. The GoSpiro performs full flow-
volume loops including inspiratory and expiratory data. The internal
program has built-in quality control measurements and transmits indices of
measurement quality including time to peak flow, back-extrapolated volume,
total expiratory time, end-expiratory flow detection and cough detection
during the measurement identification.
WARNING: The accuracy performance of the GoSpiro can be affected if the bottom of
the GoSpiro is exposed to a strong light source while operating the spirometer. Do
not expose the bottom of the GoSpiro unit to a strong light source.
10.1. Attach the user supplied filter to the mouthport on the GoSpiro. If your filter
has a 27 mm ID round outlet, attach the mouthport adapter to the filter.
10.2. Select the GoSpiro App on your smartphone.
10.3. Press the purple power button on the GoSpiro and the LED will rapidly blink
blue.
10.4. Once the GoSpiro is paired with the data collection device, the LED will be
steady blue.
WARNING: The accuracy performance of GoSpiro can be affected by the patient
spitting or coughing into GoSpiro during expiration without use of a filter. Accuracy
can also be affected by extremes of temperature, humidity and altitude.
10.5. Sit straight up in a chair with your feet flat against the floor.
10.6. Put the nose clip on and the mouthpiece in your mouth behind your teeth
and get a good seal around the mouthpiece with your lips. Make sure your
tongue is not blocking the hole in the mouthpiece.
10.7. Relax, breathe out and then take as deep a breath as you possibly can to fill
your lungs to their maximum capacity.
10.8. As soon as your lungs are full, breathe out as hard and as fast as you can and
keep blowing out for at least six seconds, then take a deep breath in.
IMPORTANT: Do not hold your breath after you have inhaled to
your maximum inhalation before blowing out.
10.9. Take the filter port or adapter out of your mouth.
10.10.The test is now complete and the GoSpiro will transmit the data from your
test.
