measurements stored). The printout following post-medication tests will give the curves of
both pre and post-medication tests (the premedication curve is bold). The measurement
results are shown as the best results (pre/post), results as a percentage of those predicted,
(both pre and post) and the percentage change (i.e. difference) between pre and postmedication results.

used.
For Sweden, the Swedish (Berglund) and Quanjer standards are used.
In Finland the Finnish and Quanjer.standards are used.

In Austria the Austrian standards are used.
In India the Indian norm values are used.
