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
