Calibrating your spirometer

Guidelines from the the Association for Respiratory Technology and Physiology (ARTP) recommend that calibration of spirometry test equipment should be performed prior to each clinic/session or after every 10th patient, whichever comes first. For a device to be within calibration limits it must read +/- 3% of true.

It is also important to ensure that calibration is performed using a certificated 3 Litre Calibration Syringe and follow the manufacturer’s recommended procedures. If you are still using a 1 Litre Calibration Syringe to perform your spirometry calibration, then you are not complying with the recommended guidelines.
