5 CALIBRATION The accuracy of the air flow through the BTL-08 Spiro Pro is the basic precondition for reliable and correct results of your spirometric examinations. The BTL-08 Spiro Pro has three mechanisms for the ensuring of the maximum measuring accuracy possible: calibration, calibration check and adjusting zero flow. Zero flow adjusting is automatic process, whereas calibration and calibration check has to be performed by user.
Connect the pneumotachograph to the BTL-08 Spiro Pro unit and switch it on. Firmly connect the pneumotachograph to the output of the calibration syringe and make sure that the connection is tight.
