4.3.2 Tidal Breathing (TB-nNO)
TB-nNO measurements shall be performed while breathing normally through
an open mouth.
1. Before selecting the start measurement button make sure to instruct the
patient to slowly inhale and exhale though the mouth.
2. Select start measurement button to start a TB-nNO Nasal
measurement with NIOX Panel.
Note: If measurement is started before patient is ready, there is an option
to abort measurement, it is not recorded as a measurement on
sensor or instrument.
Note: The y-axis does not show a nitric oxide value during the
measurement and analysis periods. This is due to the entire sample
having to cycle through the sensor (delayed analysis).
3. The instrument will aspirate for 30 seconds and then will start to analyze
the sample. After the aspiration is complete, remove nasal olive from the
nostril and wait for the result.
Note: By selecting the abort button (A) the measurement is canceled. This
can be pressed in the measurement or analysis period to abort the
measurement.
4. When selecting the OK button (B) an option to save the file will be shown.
5. A save dialog will be shown and an option to view the file.
