Take 3 normal breaths and then one rapid deep breath, as deep as you can. Then blow as hard and as fast as you can into the mouthpiece. Keep going until you completely empty your lungs as long as possible.
Once you start blowing, the ball on your screen will start to rise and you will be encouraged to keep blowing for a couple of seconds.
Your results will then appear on the screen. Feedback on your spirometry technique will also be shown below your results.
You will be given the option to "Do another" test or "Finish" your session. Click on one of these options to proceed.
If you choose to proceed with another test, your device will automatically reconnect.
