Before conducting the test, we recommend to check the video about guiding the patient into the correct position and blowing. 

In this video we demonstrate how to perform an FVC manoeuvre, using Medikro Spirometry Software (MSS).

2. Start the measurement by selecting the FVC button.

3. The patient inspires slowly and long.

4. The patient expires fast and strongly, at least until the indicator changes to green.
