Attaching the Clip to a Mask.
Slide the clip onto the side of the mask as illustrated. Observe the
THIS SIDE TOWARD FACE label.
Placing the Mask on Your Face
1. Place the mask over your mouth and nose with the straps
around you head as illustrated.
2. Ensure that the mask fits closely to your face.
3. Attach the metal strain-relief clip to your clothes or the mask
itself to prevent the tubes from pulling the breath rate clip.
Collecting Data
1. While breathing normally, observe the indicator lights on the
sensor. The green EXHALE indicator illuminates when the
sensor detects a breath. If the red NO SIGNAL indicator is
illuminated, adjust the fit of the mask.
2. Press or click the start button on your interface or in
DataStudio to begin recording data.
3. Press or click the button again to stop recording data.
About the Measurements
The sensor determines breath rate by measuring the time between
exhalations. It outputs two measurements: Breath Rate and
Breath Rate Average.
• Breath Rate is the inverse of the time between consecutive
exhalations.
• Breath Rate Average is based on the duration of the four
previous exhale-inhale cycles.
Both measurements are updated every time you exhale.
