INDICATIONS FOR USE
Air 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 INFORMATION
Air 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 performing a spirometry test, the user
exhales into the turbine. The airow generated sets a rotor in motion. Air Next registers the speed
of the spinning rotor, converts it
and transfers the data via Bluetooth to the smartphone app.
LIMITATIONS OF USE &
CONTRAINDICATIONS
A spirometry test should only be
7
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 sucient
to make a diagnosis of a clinical
condition. Test interpretation and
suggested treatment must be provided 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 fundamental conditions are not respected 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 when
testing the elderly, disabled and
children.
EN
Page 8
The device should never be used
when it is possible or probable
EN
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
aect the validity of spirometry
performance and results. These
include, but are not limited to the
following: unstable cardiovascular
status, 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, physical
limitations, cognitive impairment,
dementia.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
Air 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 damage on the device. In the case of
damage do not use it and return it
to the seller.
Air Next has been examined by an
independent laboratory which has

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Air Next has been designed for use
in a doctor’s oce, in a hospital
setting or at home.
9
Air Next is not intended for use
in an operating theatre nor in the
presence of inammable liquids
or detergents, nor in the presence
of inammable 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 TURBINE
Air 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 foreign
EN
Page 10
bodies to enter the turbine
sensor, in order to avoid incorrect
EN
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.com
CAUTION: RISK OF
CROSSCONTAMINATION
Each 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 eort
after a full inspiration.
FVC (Forced Vital Capacity) The
total volume of air (l) exhaled during a forced maximal expiratory
eort after a full inspiration.
FEV1/FVC (Ratio) The calculated
result obtained by dividing FEV1
with FVC.
PEF (Peak Expiratory Flow) The
maximum ow rate (l/s) during a
forced maximal expiratory eort
after a full inspiration.
The nal results displayed in the
application are always the best
values obtained after performing
10
the desired number of tests
included in a session. The recommended 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 sucient training in the
performance and interpretation of
spirometry.
Note: Home use of Air Next is intended only for indicative purpose.
Interpretation of the test results
and diagnosis shall be done by a
healthcare professional.
