7INDICATIONS FOR USEAir Next is intended to be used by:• Healthcare professionals trained to perform spirometry tests on patients of age ≥ 5 years old, > 10 kg and ≥ 110 cm.• Adults trained by healthcare professionals (”competent adults”). Competent adult can assist a child who is ≥5 years old, >10kg and ≥110 cm. Air Next is intended to perform basic lung function and spirometry testing.The actual diagnosis shall be done by a healthcare professional so home use is only for indicative purpose.GENERAL INFORMATIONAir Next works with iOS and Android devices and connects via bluetooth. Air Next is powered by 2 x 1.5 V AAA alkaline batteries. If the batteries are replaced or when the device is discarded, dispose the device as electronic waste. Air Next is designed to work with single-use NuvoAir disposable turbines.  When perform- ing a spirometry test, the user  exhales into the turbine. The air- ow generated sets a rotor in mo-tion. Air Next registers the speed of the spinning rotor, converts it and transfers the data via Blue-tooth to the smartphone app.LIMITATIONS OF USE &CONTRAINDICATIONSA spirometry test should only be carried out when the user is at rest (i.e. does not experience shortness of breath) and in good health, and thus in a suitable condition for the test. An analysis of the results of a spirometry test alone is not sucient to make a diagnosis of a clinical condition. Test interpretation and suggested treatment must be pro-vided by a Healthcare professional.A correct spirometry test depends on the user’s capability to inhale and exhale all air completely and as fast as possible. If these fun-damental conditions are not re-spected then the results obtained during spirometry testing will not be accurate, and therefore the test results are “not acceptable”.The acceptability of a test is the responsibility of the user. Special attention should be given whentesting the elderly, disabled and children.EN
8The device should never be used when it is possible or probable that the validity of the results may be compromised due to any external factors.Some conditions may pose a relative danger to a patient or aect the validity of spirometry performance and results. These include, but are not limited to the following: unstable cardiovascularstatus, unstable angina, recent myocardial infarction (within one month) or pulmonary embolism, haemoptysis of unknown origin, recent pneumothorax, thoracic, abdominal or cerebral aneurysms, recent thoracic, abdominal or eye surgery, acute disorders such as nausea or vomiting, severe respiratory distress, physicallimitations, cognitive impairment, dementia.IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGSAir Next should never be used with a charging phone. Make sure the phone is unplugged before con-ducting a spirometry test. Don’t use the device with a connected AC/DC adaptor.Once removed from its packaging, check that there is no visible dam-age on the device. In the case ofdamage do not use it and return it to the seller.Air Next has been examined by an  independent laboratory which has certied the conformity of the device to the European Safety Standards EN 60601-1 and guarantees the EMC Requirements within the lim-its set in the European Standard  EN 60601-1-2 and ETSI’s EN 300 328.

Type BF applied part: Device that   has conductive contact or medium   to long term contact with the   patient in order to fulll the   intended use.   This device complies with part 15        of the FCC Rules. Operation is            subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. FCC ID  Identication showing traceability to FCC compliance. Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physicianOPERATING ENVIRONMENTAir Next has been designed for use in a doctor’s oce, in a hospital setting or at home.Air Next is not intended for use in an operating theatre nor in the presence of inammable liquids or detergents, nor in the presence of inammable anaesthetic gases (oxygen or nitrogen). The device is not designed to be used in direct air currents (e.g. wind), sources of heat or cold, direct sun rays or other sources of light or energy, dust, sand or any other chemical substances.NUVOAIR  DISPOSABLE TURBINEAir Next is designed to be used with NuvoAir disposable single use turbines. The disposable turbine is indicated for single use single patient only. The integrity and functionality is guaranteed by:• Never holding the turbine under   a jet of water or air and never let   it come into contact with high temperature uids.• Not allowing dust or foreign0598IP32EN
10 bodies to enter the turbine   sensor, in order to avoid incorrect functioning and possible damage.   The presence of any impurities   such as hair, sputum, threads etc. within the body of the turbine   sensor may seriously compromise  the accuracy of the measurements.• Avoiding environmental    contamination by cleaning waste   products, the user must adhere   to all relevant regulations.The single use turbine cannot be used to perform a spirometry test on another individual (person). You can purchase new single use turbines at www.nuvoair.comCAUTION: RISK OF  CROSSCONTAMINATIONEach new individual that uses Air Next shall use a new unused disposable NuvoAir disposable turbine. If the turbine is not replaced between individuals there is a high risk of infectious cross contamination.AIR NEXT TESTS  PARAMETERS SUCH AS:FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second) The volume of air (l) exhaled in the rst second during a forced maximal expiratory eort after a full inspiration.FVC (Forced Vital Capacity) The total volume of air (l) exhaled dur-ing a forced maximal expiratory eort after a full inspiration.FEV1/FVC (Ratio) The calculated result obtained by dividing FEV1with FVC.PEF (Peak Expiratory Flow) The maximum ow rate (l/s) during a forced maximal expiratory eort after a full inspiration.The nal results displayed in the application are always the best values obtained after performingthe desired number of tests included in a session. The rec-ommended number of tests per session is 3, however the user can perform up to 8 tests.Displayed test are compared to a reference table (GLI) and displayed as percent predictive value (%pred.).The reference used in Air Next uses expected normal lung func-tion values such as for FEV1,FVC, FEV1/FVC and PEF are based on ethnicity, gender, age and height.Interpretation of spirometry results should be made by a physician or allied health care professional with sucient training in the performance and interpretation of spirometry.Note: Home use of Air Next is in-tended only for indicative purpose. Interpretation of the test results and diagnosis shall be done by ahealthcare professional.EN
