About This Manual
This manual is written for clinical professionals performing pulmonary function testing.
Users must be familiar with measurements and the clinical significance of basic
spirometry products.
Before using the spirometer, all users and technicians must read and understand this
manual and all other information accompanying the CP 200 spirometry option and the
CP 200 electrocardiograph.
Caregivers need to know how to properly coach patients, to recognize acceptable
waveforms, and to know whether results meet ATS reproducibility criteria.
The hospital's Biomedical/IT support staff shall require primary skills including disciplines
related to maintenance and servicing computer controls/platforms.
It is recommended that users attend a certified spirometry training course. The
instructions given here are only a guide and should not be used to train a technician.

and spirometry functions, such as how to move through the menus, how to
search for patient data, or how to edit the medication list.
