About the Patient Help Sheets

Two patient help sheets are available to print:

1

Adult Smokers

If “patient education” is enabled, the Adult Smokers sheet prints automatically for all
adult smokers whenever you print a test. For example, see

“Adult Smokers Help

Sheet”

on page 63.

Asthma Symptoms

If “patient education” is enabled, the Asthma Symptoms sheet prints automatically
for all patients whenever you print a test. For example, see

“Asthma Symptoms Help

Sheet”

on page 64.

These help sheets print only if “patient education” is enabled in the settings. To learn how
to enable “patient education,” see

“Reviewing the Spirometry Print Settings”

on page 17.

The patient's name, FEV1%, and date print automatically on both sheets. If “ATS
Interpretation” is enabled, the appropriate recommendation is also marked. To learn how
to enable “ATS Interpretation,” see

“Reviewing the Operation Settings”

on page 13.

Both help sheets come from a booklet entitled Simple Office Spirometry for Primary Care Practitioners, by
Thomas L. Petty, MD, and Paul L. Enright, MD. This booklet can be downloaded from the National Lung
Health Education Program (NLHEP) home page:

If no recommendation is marked, the doctor must mark one.
