DATOSPIR TOUCH spirometer. This manual is an addendum to the manual of the Spirometer DATOSPIR TOUCH, dedicated exclusively to the operation of this module, and it is designed for use alongside the general manual. We suggest consulting some bibliography on the usual procedure required to perform correctly bronchoconstriction tests.

The DATOSPIR TOUCH spirometer has the possibility to perform the test according to two different methods: - Normal or continuous method: Consists of administering to the patient a certain concentration of an allergen for a specified time.
Bronchoconstriction test user’s manual made. Then, subsequent Bronchoconstriction tests may be done, allowing the patient to rest between them. CONSTRIC. (BC2) Apply the patient the second drug-dose. CONSTRIC. (BC3) Apply the patient the third drug-dose. The process can be repeated until it is convenient. The system allows applying a maximum of 10 drug-doses (BC10).

Set the time between drug application and initiation of bronchodilator maneuvers.
Enter the patient’s data. The procedure is the same as the one described in the section 4.1.1 ENTERING PATIENT DATA of the DATOSPIR TOUCH general user’s manual. The Bronchoconstriction customization screen will appear. See section 1.3. BRONCHOCONSTRICTION TEST CUSTOMIZATION. Then, the following screen will appear: 511-BH0-MU2 •...

Bronchoconstriction test user’s manual When the value of FEV1 falls below the user-configure limit (x %) compared to the diluent or the basal, the system warns it and the PDx value will appear on the dose-response graph. The dose-response graph is presented mathematically adjusted through a process of logarithmic adjustment (y = C1 + C2 log (x)) if the coefficient of determination is better than (100-x) % and to calculate...
