 SPIROVISION-3+
Spirometer for Windows
 Uses Windows 95, 98,
2000 or NT
 Connects to your
computer’s serial or
USB port
 Performs FVC, SVC,
MVV, pre/post test and
inhalation challenge
 Installation and Set-Up
Before using SpiroVision-3+ you will need to:

•Set up the turbine flow meter

•Connect the instrument to your PC
•Install the software
To set up the turbine flow
meter
Insert the clear turbine all the
way in the handset until it sits in
the very end
 SpiroVision-3+ is driven by the computer’s
standard serial port, and is adaptable for USB. .
It is powered through the computer’s PS2 port.
To connect SpiroVision-3+ to your computer
Plug the cable provided with SpiroVision-3+
into the handset as pictured
If you have a serial port, plug the 9 pin end of
the cable into your computer.
If you have a USB port, you will need a
USB-serial adapter. Futuremed can
recommend or provide you one.
Plug the PS-2 end of the cable into your
computer.
 This adapter, provided with your SpiroVision-3+,
lets you share your PS-2 port between the spirometer
and a keyboard or mouse.
Connect the spirometer to the end marked “M”.
Connect the mouse or keyboard to “K”.
 Operation of the Software
There are 3 steps to obtaining PFT reports:

1) Patient data is entered,

2) The maneuver is performed, and
3) Results are printed
 This is SpiroVision-3+’s main
screen. It is the starting point for
data entry, testing and printing.
To enter patient data
Click on the Archive Navigator
button.

Archive
Navigator
The following window, called the
Archive Navigator, will open:
It consists of 3 sections:

Tests to Display, where test results are stored.

Lists all
Stored Tests
Quickly add Patients

for general
patient data.

Keep Track of Your

Visit Card, for Patient’s Visits

demographic
data for
each date.
In the Archive Navigator, click on the “Add a
New Patient Card” button.
 “Patient card”
consists of name, ID,
date of birth & sex.

Each patient is assigned one “patient card”, consisting

of permanent data such as name and date of birth.
Fill in the required blanks (Name, ID, date of birth,
ethnicity and sex.). The remaining fields are optional.

Click OK to
continue

You can customize

some fields for
information specific
to your own use
You will also need to enter the patient’s height
and weight. This data can change from one visit
to the next and will fill in the Visit Card.

If desired, complete remaining blanks (optional).

Click on OK when finished.
 Predicted spirometry
values are calculated
based on the patient’s
age, sex, race, height and
weight.
Click OK to complete this step proceed to test
menu.
 The “Test” button
will light up.

Note that the patient’s

name is now displayed
on the bottom of the
screen.

Display a Single Test
Superimpose & Compare Multiple Tests
Other maneuvers include
Slow Vital Capacity (SVC)
 and
Maximum Voluntary Ventilation (MVV)
 After patient data is
entered, the “test”
button lights up.

Select the desired maneuver.

To begin testing, click on the “start” button.

The green “light” indicates that the

sensor is on and communicating
with the computer.
 The patient can start by taking
2-3 normal breaths (tidal volume),
or you may proceed directly to the
forced expiratory maneuver.
As the patient exhales, you will see the flow/volume and
time/volume graphs in real time.
As the patient exhales, you will see the flow/volume and
time/volume graphs in real time.
As the patient exhales, you will see the flow/volume and
time/volume graphs in real time.
As the patient exhales, you will see the flow/volume and
time/volume graphs in real time.
Following the maneuver, the curve and actual values of the test
can be compared with the predicteds.
The test can be repeated
as many times as
you’d like.
All the tests performed during the session will be listed (from best
to worst). Highlight the ones you’d like to study and save in the
patient record.

Interpretation
for this testing
session

Back in the patient card, the “test to display” box will now show
