Product Manual

Indications for use
The spirometer is a device that measures lung air volume and airflow rate for pulmonary
disease diagnosis and screening. These measurements provide information about a
patient's pulmonary function which may be compared with normal values or the patient's
previous values.
The device is designed to test pulmonary function and obtain spirometric indices for
• adult and pediatric patients 12 years and older,
• hospital and clinic use only.
Contraindications
Relative contraindications to performing spirometry:
• hemoptysis of unknown origin (forced expiratory maneuver may aggravate the
underlying condition)
• pneumothorax
• unstable cardiovascular status (forced expiratory maneuver may worsen angina or
cause changes in blood pressure) or recent myocardial infarction or pulmonary
embolus
• thoracic, abdominal, or cerebral aneurysms (danger of rupture due to increased
thoracic pressure)
• presence of an acute disease process that might interfere with test performance
(e.g., nausea, vomiting)
• recent eye (for example, cataract), thoracic and abdominal surgery
• chest and abdominal pain
