72 EasyOne Pro™ / EasyOne Pro™ LAB
Note
Interpret these results with caution because different breath-
ing baselines are possible.
SVC before washout
Relaxed tidal breathing until a stable breathing baseline is
detected (indicated with a line in the VT-diagram representing
the breathing baseline line). Then perform a full SVC maneu-
ver; after that continue with the FRC washout maneuver. Lung
volume parameters will be calculated based on this linked
SVC maneuver (data from an "external" SVC test will not be
used).
Note
Perform the SVC maneuver according to ATS/ERS guidelines to
ensure accurate results.
SVC after washout
First perform an FRC washout maneuver. After the washout
continue with relaxed tidal breathing until a stable breathing
baseline is detected (indicated with a line in the VT-diagram
representing the breathing baseline line). Then perform a full
SVC maneuver. Lung volume parameters will be calculated
based on this linked SVC maneuver (data from an "external"
SVC test will not be used).
Note
Perform the SVC maneuver according to ATS/ERS guidelines to
ensure accurate results.
Performing a Test
Note
The patient wears a nose clip during the measurement and the
lips must seal around the mouthpiece to prevent ambient air
from being inhaled.
Instruct the patient according to the displayed on-line messages. The
messages depend on the mode settings "Automatic" or "Manual" and on
the selected option "Linked SVC".
Attach the FRC barriette™ (see "FRC Test (EasyOne Pro™ LAB only)" on
page 71).
Select the patient (see "Selecting/Adding a Patient" on page 41).
Select the test with FRC.
The FRC test acquisition screen appears.
