Attention!<br />
Press Activate at the early Start <strong>of</strong> last expiration well before<br />
gas inhalation. The Instrument automatically detects end <strong>of</strong><br />
exhale and opens the gas demand valve (audible sound)<br />
17. Which breath hold time definition do you apply?<br />
We apply the Jones Meade breath hold definition as specified in the ERS ATS, you<br />
can select between 8 and 11 seconds hold time.<br />
18. Why are we not getting a predicted for the VA and the KCO?<br />
the predicted reference used is Miller – and also why is it not reporting the breathhold<br />
time?<br />
The VA parameter has only a predicted in the Knudson reference. Therefore also<br />
the KCO (which is DLCO / VA) will have a predicted in the Knudson reference.<br />
19. About breath hold time (BHT)<br />
The breath hold time (BHT) is only shown for each trial. There is no definition for a<br />
summary value <strong>of</strong> the BHT. Therefore in the summary report the BHT is not shown.<br />
In the DLCO report you have the table with values for each trial. There you should<br />
see all BHTs. You can add this table also to the summary report if you wish.
