About calibration The American Thoracic Society recommends calibrating a spirometer every day before testing. In addition, each time you open a new package of flow transducers, verify the lot number on the package label. If this lot number differs from the lot number used during the most recent calibration, you must recalibrate the spirometer using the new lot number before resuming testing.
Page 28
24 About calibration CP 150 spirometry option Note Obtain the transducer lot and calibration codes from the transducer package label. Note For the syringe volume, see the sticker on the calibration syringe. Note Humidity (%), Temperature, and Pressure are set through the USB spirometer sensor and are not editable fields.

Prepare the patient To prepare patients for any spirometry test, explain the entire procedure for the type of effort you want them to perform. Remind patients that the test should be painless. Demonstrate at least one effort for the patient. The accuracy of a spirometry test is highly dependent on the patient's understanding and cooperation.

Spirometry tests Overview of the testing process A single test comprises a set of efforts that can be a mixture of pre- and post-medication efforts. About FVC efforts “FVC” stands for forced vital capacity. The goal of an FVC effort is to measure the volume and flow of air.
32 Spirometry tests CP 150 spirometry option • FEV1 — forced expiratory volume 1, the volume of air that is exhaled at one second of a forced expiration About pre- and post-testing If desired, a spirometry test may include both pre- and post-efforts to measure the effectiveness of medication.

Predictive Norms and interpretation About Norm extrapolation Extrapolation is the practice of applying a norm’s formula to a patient who is outside of the norm studied. For example, if you were testing an 88-year-old man, and the selected norm was based on males 85 or younger, the predicted values would be extrapolated values.
This value is used primarily to encourage smoking cessation. The CP 150 spirometer calculates lung age values according to the document Short Report Spirometric "Lung Age" Estimation for Motivating Smoking Cessation. (Morris 1995).
