Overview of the Testing Process
There are two types of spirometry efforts (also called maneuvers):
• FVC — forceful breathing
• SVC — relaxed breathing
For details, see “About FVC Efforts” on page 33 and “About SVC Efforts” on page 34.
A single test comprises a set of efforts — up to 6 efforts of each type (FVC and SVC) for a
maximum of 12 efforts (6 FVC and 6 SVC). The 6 efforts of a given type can be a mixture
of pre- and post-medication efforts.
For details, see “About Pre- and Post-Testing” on page 36 and “About Effort
Replacement” on page 36.
