Frequently asked questions

  • Spirometers are used by a qualified medical professional to assist in the diagnosis of illnesses that may affect a patient’s lung function. This may be a nurse or doctor within a private clinic, a hospital, or a trained occupational health specialist within a company.  

    A spirometer may also be used periodically to assess the condition of a person’s lungs i.e., in the workplace where respiratory sensitisers are present and can influence lung function. 

    A spirometry test involves a small medical instrument called a spirometer, along with a mouthpiece. A patient will take a deep breath and breathe with force into the mouthpiece which is attached to the spirometer. The results of the spirometry test are then analysed and interpreted accordingly.

  • Relaxed (or slow) Vital Capacity (VC) - The volume of air that can be slowly expelled from the lungs from a point of maximal inspiration to maximum expiration.

    Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) - The volume of air that can be forcibly expelled from the lungs from a point of maximal inspiration to maximum expiration. 

    Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) - The volume of air that can be forcibly expelled from the lungs from a point of maximum inspiration in the first second of an FVC manoeuvre.

    FEV1/FVC ratio or FEV1% - The FEV1/FVC ratio is the FEV1 expressed as a percentage of the FVC (or VC if this is greater).
