The lower section of the screen
displays the predicted values
calculated from the patient data
and the actual values measured
during the test.
Pred = Predicted value
Best = Best values from all
efforts
%Pred = Best value in % of
predicted values
The "Best" column displays the best value out of all valid efforts.
Denition of the best effort = highest VCmax.
(see: >Settings Spirometry >Slow Spirometry> Measurement)
According to ATS/ERS criteria, at least three efforts should be performed. If the difference
between the best and second best effort is greater than 0.150 L, further efforts should be
performed.
