1.7 Intended Use
Introduction
The ndd EasyOne Pro Respiratory Analysis System is designed for
conducting lung function measurements in general or specialist practices or
in hospitals.
The EasyOne Pro Respiratory Analysis System can also be used outside of
the laboratory when performing lung function screenings or measurements
in occupational medicine.
The EasyOne Pro Respiratory Analysis System is used to conduct lung
function measurements on adults and children starting at age 4, except
measurements of Diffusing Capacity of the lung based on CO (DLCO), which
can be performed on adults and children starting at age 6.
1.8 Contraindications to Performing DLCO Tests
Do not perform a DLCO test

1.9 Additional Functions of EasyOne Pro LAB
EasyOne Pro LAB includes the measurement of the FRC (Functional
Residual Capacity) based on the Multiple Breath Nitrogen (N 2) Washout
method. This method is based on washing out the N 2 from the lungs, while
the patient breathes 100% oxygen. The analysis of the expired N 2 trace is
used to compute the FRC and other parameters like LCI (Lung Clearance
Index) that are used to quantify distribution inhomogeneities of the lung.
The test is based on tidal breathing only and can easily be performed in
adults and children starting at age 4.
