Is inputting height and weight values essential before performing a spirometry test?
Spirometry measures lung function, including parameters such as forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). Height and weight can be factors in interpreting these results accurately, particularly when assessing predicted values or comparing results to population norms. Therefore, entering height and weight data can help ensure that the results are appropriately adjusted for the individual being tested.
What is the typical level of accuracy percentage associated with spirometry tests conducted using alveoair spirometry device?
The typical level of accuracy percentage associated with spirometry tests conducted using the alveoair spirometry device, which is FDA-approved, is approximately 98%. This certification underscores the device’s adherence to rigorous standards for accuracy and reliability set by the FDA
How are spirometry results interpreted?
Spirometry results are interpreted based on several factors including the patient’s demographics (age, gender, height), reference values, and the pattern of airflow observed in the spirometry tracing. These results are typically analyzed by healthcare professionals trained in spirometry interpretation, who consider various parameters such as forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), FEV1/FVC ratio, and other indices to assess lung function and diagnose respiratory conditions.
What are the Predicated Values?
Predicted values in spirometry refer to the expected or normal values for lung function parameters, such as forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), based on factors such as age, gender, height, and sometimes ethnicity(Race). These predicted values serve as a reference to compare an individual’s actual spirometry results.
How can I determine if the device is turned on?
The alveoair device features a blue LED light that indicates its power status. When this light is illuminated, it generally signifies that the device is powered on and in discoverable mode.
Is there any indication in the device, if the device is connected to a web application?
Yes, in the alveoair device, there is an LED light that blinks to indicate when the device is connected with the alveoConnect® application. The blinking LED serves as a visual indicator that the alveoair, being a wireless device, has successfully established a connection with the alveoConnect® application, providing users with confirmation of the connection status.
What is the term condition if the device stops working within warranty?
The alveoair device is covered by a one-year warranty, subject to specific conditions. The warranty stipulates that the device should not have water damage or physical breakage for the coverage to be valid. If the device experiences defects in materials or workmanship during the warranty period and has not been subjected to water damage or physical breakage, the manufacturer typically commits to repairing or replacing the device, or providing necessary parts or service at no additional cost to the user. It’s crucial to thoroughly review the terms and conditions of the warranty for a comprehensive understanding of the coverage, limitations, and any actions required on the user’s part to maintain warranty validity.
Is there any provision to extend the device warranty?
The warranty period for the alveoair device commences from the date of device registration and extends for one year. During this period, users are entitled to warranty coverage, which typically includes repair or replacement of the device for eligible issues. It is crucial for users to carefully review the terms and conditions specified in the warranty policy, as well as any requirements or limitations outlined by the manufacturer. For comprehensive details regarding warranty coverage, initiation, and any potential extensions, users should refer to the official documentation provided by the manufacturer or contact the customer support team for accurate and up-to-date information.
