|
|
| - The Vmax Encore can now report the Lowest FEV1 as "best" during a maneuver. Avoids errors, and reveals a true reaction!
|
|
| - The "National Lung Health Education Program" (NLHEP) Grading System is now available. These messages can be formatted "on" or "off" during testing in FVLOOP.
|
|
| - "Provocation Grade Scores" (PGRADE) are used when measuring FEV1.
|
|
| - Minimum height is now 40cm (16 inches) versus 65cm (26 inches).
|
|
| - Temperature display is more precise by increasing resolution to .1 degree Centigrade.
|
|
| - The ability to calculate % Reference and % Change for the following parameters:
FEV.5/FVC, FEV1/FVC, FEV1/SVC, FEV3/FVC, FIV1/FIVC, FEV1/FEV6, RV/TLC, CV/VC, CC/TLC, RV/TLC SB. This is a selectable on/off feature in SETUP.
|
|
| - Calculation of Standard Deviation (SD) and Coefficient of Variation (CV) for all numeric pulmonary function parameters.
|
DLCO AND SPIROMETRY ATS/ERS 2005 STANDARDS
|
|
| - A bar graph will show the volume change over the last second to make end of test criteria easier to observe. (<.025L in one second).
|
|
| - Real-time calculation and display of Vol extrap) (volume of extrapolation); allows the operator to make an early decision for termination of the test.
|
|
| - Expanded, high resolution graphic, available at the end of the FVLOOP maneuver, which shows the last two seconds of volume change to FVC and then all expiration to the beginning of inspiration.
|
|
| - "Tdel" is now calculated and stored in the database, showing the time from the last 25 ml of inspire to time zero of backward extrapolation. This parameter, in essence, shows the delay at TLC before the forced maneuver.
|
|
| - The repeatability criteria for FVC and FEV1 is now selectable to .100 /.150/ and .250L, following ATS, ERS, and NLHEP standards.
|
|
| - The measurements of FEV0.5 , FEV0.75, and Fev2 are now included in the calculations and database. Excellent parameters when measuring spirometry in pediatric populations.
|
|
| - Selection of either "DL" or "TL" terminology for associated parameters in all Diffusion testing.
|
|
| - Selection of either 85% or 90% as the IVC QA standard in Single Breath Diffusion.
|
|
| - Selection of 4 seconds or 2 seconds for inspiratory time target in Single Breath Diffusion.
|
REFERENCE SETS
|
|
| - The new software provides the capability to link specific Pulmonary and/or Metabolic Reference Sets to race.
|
|
| - A user can now specifically assign a reference set to a race.
|
LOGIC TREE III - BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND (OPTION)
|
|
| - Flexible interpretation program for PFT and Exercise allows for users to format break point and interpretive statements.
|
|
| - Logic Tree III now has a user friendly operator's manual!!!
