ABSTRACT:
A spirometer set-up with an analogue to digital converter to a computer chain which allows the use of the merit function of the flow-volume curve for the discrimination between healthy persons and those who have a mechanical pulmonary function disorder, and the exact area under the flow-volume curve of lung mechanics to follow the progression of said lung disorder.
