Calibration Check with DLCO Simulator
In the Utilities menu, click Calibration check, then select DLCO simulator.
The test procedure is the same as in a human test ("CO Diffusing Capacity
(DLCO)" on page 67). For correct handling of the DLCO simulator, please
read the manual of the simulator manufacturer.
Note
We strongly recommend using only DLCO simulators
manufactured by Hans Rudolph (DLCO Simulator, 5560
Series).
Also refer to the DLCO simulator operator manual or to the
training clip at www.ndd.ch.
As an alternative to checking calibration with a DLCO
simulator, the calibration can be checked with a test subject
(see "Calibration Check with Test Subject" on page 107).
Make sure the gas concentrations of the test gas AND the
Simulator Test Gas are entered correctly as shown in Fig.
8-13.
FRC Calibration Check
The American Thoracic Society (ATS) recommends that testing of biological
controls should be performed at least monthly.
For that purpose use a biological subject and the standard trending func-
tionality.
