Tidal breathing
When you see the message Start tidal breathing, instruct the patient to
take the sensor into the mouth with the lips sealing around the
spirette™ and to start the tidal breathing maneuver.
After 3 or 4 breaths, the Activate button appears. Now instruct the
patient to fully exhale.
During exhalation, press the Activate button: the valve will automatically
close at the end of exhalation. it is also possible to manually close the
valve by pressing the Manual Close button.
Now instruct the patient to fully inhale (the patient is expected to inhale
85% of their vital capacity within 2 to 4 seconds) and then hold their
breath for 10 seconds (wait for the valve to close before breathing in).
After the 10 seconds, the valve opens and the patient is required to
exhale normally (avoiding forced or slow exhalation) and continue tidal
breathing until the test stops.
After a successful test, the message Good effort will be displayed.
