Product Manual

Introduction
About this document
This manual is written for clinical professionals performing pulmonary function testing.
Users must be familiar with measurements and the clinical significance of basic
spirometry products.
Before using the spirometer, all users and technicians must read and understand this
manual and all other information accompanying the CP 150 spirometry option and the CP
150 electrocardiograph.
Caregivers need to know how to properly coach patients, to recognize acceptable
waveforms, and to know whether results meet ATS reproducibility criteria.
The hospital's Biomedical/IT support staff shall require primary skills including disciplines
related to maintenance and servicing computer controls/platforms.
It is recommended that users attend a certified spirometry training course. The
instructions given here are only a guide and should not be used to train a technician.
Note This manual supplements the CP 150 electrocardiograph manual, entitled
CP 150 12-lead resting electrocardiograph Directions for use.
See the electrocardiograph manual for procedures that are common to both ECG and
spirometry functions, such as how to move through the menus or how to search for
patient data.
Intended use
The CP 150 spirometry option allows the user to acquire, view, store, and print
measures and waveforms of pulmonary function including, but not limited to, maximal
volume and flow of air that can be moved in and out of a patient's lungs. These
measures are used in the diagnosis and monitoring of lung diseases and interventions
for the treatment of certain lung diseases.
The spirometer should only be used with patients who are able to understand the
instructions for performing the test.
