WARNING
At the end of a 6MWT the device also displays the Recovery Time; this is the time necessary for the SpO2% to return to to
99% compared to the average SoO2 recorded during the initial rest stage of the test.

Sleep Oximetry
The accelerometers in the device also record the position of the patient during the test and the type of movement of the patient.
When the patient is lying down the Spirodoc recognizes the prone or supine position, and whether the patient is lying down either on
the left or right side. If the patient is standing up the Spirodoc will record whether the patient is still or moving including the entity of
the movement that is if he/she is moving slowly, medium or at fast speed.
If the patient starts walking the device will count how many steps he/she took and as a consequence the distance walked.
Beyond the SPO2% and BPM measurements the doctor (on the PC) will also have the following data available:
•
Patient position during sleep*
•
type of movement*
•
oximetry perfusion index*
•
steps estimate
•
VMU
* in graphic form
To monitor and record such information the device must be placed on the patient as previously described in paragraph 3.13.1.
To perform this test touch the
After approximately 5 minutes from the beginning of the test the Spirodoc will automatically enter energy saving mode shutting down
the backlight of the display. If the signal is lost during the energy saving mode the device will automatically abandon the standby mode
and will visualize a message describing the problem (sensor not inserted or finger not inserted correctly).
The data displayed is the same as that of the previous test apart from the possibility to view the trend of the plethysmographic curve.
On the top part of the screen is displayed the battery charge level to the right of the ESC icon.
After the useful period the test can be interrupted by following the procedure previously described.
The results can be printed by following the explanation in paragraph 3.1.
WARNING
During a sleep oximetry test in stand alone mode the display will show the battery level by indicating the hours left, or the
minutes left if the battery autonomy is less than one hour. The battery autonomy can vary according to whether the device is
in energy saving mode or with the backlight display on at max level.

To access the oximetry area form the main screen touch the
The test duration is unlimited and the aim is to record variations of the oximetry values for a length of time as per doctor's requirements.
During the test the display shows the information that appears in the image to the right.
The two icons below allow to:
•
visualize the plethysmographic curve
•
, allows to check the service menu alarm settings.
To end the test pres the Power ON/OFF key.
To print the ttest results please refer to paragraph 3.1; an example of the printout is available in the attached reports of this manual
