Transcript of Welcome to FUTUREMED’S PowerPoint demonstration of the Discovery-2 spirometer.
Powerpoint will automatically advance this presentation, so you can just sit back and watch.
If you want to stop the presentation and gobackward or forward, here are the instructions......
To go back to a slide, press either:
Left Arrow ( ) or the Up Arrow ( )
To move ahead, press either:
Right Arrow ( ) or Down Arrow ( )
Each slide you are about to see has already been timed to display for
approximately 7 seconds. It will then advance to the next page.
Its small size and many onboard features make Discovery-2 ideal for testing in an office, at the bedside, or on the road.

• Hundreds of test results can be stored in memory for future reference, or for downloading to Discovery-2’s database on a computer.
Memory
Before using Discovery-2 you will need to set up the turbine flow meter.
Insert the clear turbine all the way in the handset until it sits in the very end.
If it is not already connected, plug the handset in to the port called Turb./Raw in the back of the spirometer .
Alternatively, you can choose options from the Menu by pressing the
corresponding number on the keyboard. For example
1 for Patients, 2 for Options, etc.
Whether your operate Discovery-2 using arrows or the alphanumeric keyboard,
confirm your choice by pressing the green arrow.
Testing is generally completed in the following 3 easy steps:
1) Patient information is entered2) The test maneuver (usually FVC) is performed3) A report is printed and/or stored
Predicted values in spirometry are based on a patient’s age, sex, race, height and, in some cases, weight.
To test a patient, begin by typing in patient data.
Discovery-2 automatically assigns an ID number to each patient. You can use the existing number or erase it using the back arrow, then type in another number.
Use the down arrow to move from one field to the next.
In fields where a choice is to be made, such as , use the right-left arrows to select.
Note that height must be entered in two fields (for example, a 5’3” individual’s height is entered as 5 ft - 3 in).

When you are finished entering patientdata, press to confirm.
Once a new patient has been entered into the spirometer, a second menu will appear on screen. The patient’s name will be on the bottom of the screen. This menu provides several testing options.
FVC is the most commonly performed spirometry maneuver.
To perform an FVC test, the patient inhales maximally, then blasts the air out into the sensor as quickly, completely and forcefully as possible.
For inspiratory information (a “full loop”), the patient completes the maneuver by inhaling through the sensor completely and with full force.
Start by instructing the patient as follows:
- Seal your lips around the mouthpiece or filter.
- Take 2-3 normal breaths.
- Inhale completely and fill your lungs.
- Blow out as hard as you can, and keep going until you can’t exhale any more!
- (for a full loop, continue) Inhale as fully and with as much force as possible.
At the end of the test, quality-control messages will let the operator know how the test
compares with industry standards.
(Other messages include “blast out harder”, “blow out longer”,
“avoid coughing”.) These messages can be disabled.
To accept the test, press If you are not satisfied and would like to repeat the maneuver, press to discard the test.
The ATS recommends at least 3 efforts. To repeat the test, press 1.Start.To save it and exit, press 2.Save & Exit To exit without saving the test, press 0.Exit w/o Saving.
After the second effort, both tests will be displayed, and the “best test” will be identified. You can repeat the maneuver as often as desired by pressing 1.Start
Up to 3 efforts can be studied on the screen at one time. Press 2.Save & Exit to save the desired effort and continue.
You will be prompted to choose a maneuver to store. Press the number corresponding to the
desired effort.
The test selected at the end of the testing session will be automatically stored and can be retrieved and printed at any time.
You will now be ready to continue with other maneuvers, test another patient, or print a report.
Choose 2.Report to print the best of all maneuvers performed (including pre & post FVC, SVC & MVV) on the highlighted date.
Discovery-2 can be connected directly to a USB printer.
When such a connection is made, the “Print” option will be directed to the external printer, yielding full page, plain paper reports.
Please refer to the Discovery-2 manual for information and compliance issues about this feature.

Discovery-2 can be used to study the patient’s response to bronchodilator therapy and the possibility of the reversibility of airway disease .
Note that the third option, 3.FVC Post BC, refers to the bronchodilator challenge routine, and should not be selected here.
The Post FVC maneuver is identical to the regular FVC maneuver, and can be repeated and saved in the same manner.

Children and adults find the Discovery-2 handset easy to hold and handle.
The Bubbles pediatric incentive can displayed at your discretion to encourage patients, for optimal results.
The “bubble” is determined by the patient’s predicted FVC. As the patient exhales, the blue circle expands in real time. The patient’s goal is to fill the circle.
