SPIROMETER

A spirometer is a medical apparatus used for measuring the volume and flow rate of air inspired and expired by the lungs

Key Highlights

  • Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV₁): The volume of air forcefully exhaled during the first second of the FVC maneuver.

Features

  • Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV₁): The volume of air forcefully exhaled during the first second of the FVC maneuver.

Technical Specifications

Volume RangeCapable of measuring a minimum of 8 liters (L), with some devices ranging up to 10-14 L.
Volume AccuracyMust be accurate to within at least ±3% of the reading or ±0.050 L, whichever is greater.
Flow RangeCapable of measuring flows between 0 and 14 L per second (L/s), with some devices reaching ±16 L/s.
Flow AccuracyFlow measurements should be accurate to within at least ±5% of the reading or ±0.200 L/s, whichever is greater.
Airway ResistanceThe total resistance of the circuit (including mouthpiece, filters, etc.) should be less than 1.5 cm H₂O/L/s at an airflow of 14 L/s.
CalibrationDevices should be checked for calibration daily using a calibrated 3-L syringe to ensure accuracy is maintained.
ConnectivityModern devices often feature USB or Bluetooth connectivity for interfacing with computers or smartphones for data analysis, storage, and transfer to electronic medical record (EMR) systems.
OutputThe system should provide real-time flow-volume loops and volume-time graphs on screen or via printout.
Measured ParForced Vital Capacity (FVC)The total amount of air a person can forcefully and completely exhale after a maximal inhalation.
FEV₁/FVC RatioThe ratio of FEV₁ to FVC, which helps differentiate between obstructive and restrictive lung diseases.
Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF)The maximum flow rate achieved during the forced exhalation.
Tidal Volume (TV)The amount of air inhaled or exhaled during normal, restful breathing.
Maximum Voluntary Ventilation (MVV)The maximum amount of air a subject can breathe over a specified period of time (usually 12 seconds)ameters
