28、 7BS EN ISO 23747:2015ISO 23747:2015(E)Annex A (informative) Rationale for tests and examples of test apparatusA.1 Test ProfilesSee also Annexes B and C. The reason for using test profiles is to ensure that a pefm can record the pef accurately for a defined group of patients who are likely to use th
29、ese instruments (the intended patient population). The 26 ATS profiles were chosen to be “representative” profiles that should be used to test a pefm. However, there is no evidence supplied with these profiles to show that they truly reflect the range of pefm characteristics found in the intended pa
30、tient population. The rt and dt characteristics for pefs in a large population of normal subjects and patients with airflow limitation have been published 21. For the whole population of 912 subjects (normal and those with airflow limitation) the centiles for rt and dt are shown in Table A.1.Table A
31、.1 Centiles for rt and dtValues in millisecondsCentile RT DT2,5 th24 115 th29 1450 th62 3595 th128 10697, 5 th155 138From these data it was evident that the 26 ATS profiles do not cover the full range of pef characteristics in the intended patient population and there can be some redundancy when tes
32、ting with all 26. This International Standard tests a pefm with profiles that span the 90 % confidence limits for the defining characteristics relating to pef measurement using just two profiles. Profile A (Figure C.1) has rt and dt at the upper 95thcentile and profile B has rt and dt at the lower 5
33、thcentile so they cover 90 % of the intended patient population characteristics.Where possible, this International Standard takes steps to reduce the number of individual tests required to ensure that the pefm has been adequately tested.The profiles have been derived from a single subjects recorded
34、flowrate time profile. The segment from the start of the blow (start of expiration) to pef is adjusted in the time domain to derive the desired rt, and the segment after pef is then similarly adjusted to give the desired dt. If the resulting profile lasts longer than 0,8 s, the flowrate is linearly
35、reduced to zero flowrate at 1,0 s. Since the shape of the profile at this point is not relevant to measuring pef, the profiles are capped at 1 000 data points at 1 ms intervals.Profile A has rt and dt at the upper 95thcentile for a population including normal subjects and patients with airflow limit
36、ation. Profile B has rt and dt at the 5thcentile for such a population. The range of rt and dt specified allows for possible error in producing output profiles with these shapes.8 ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 23747:2015ISO 23747:2015(E)A.2 PerformanceA.2.1 GeneralThe performance of a pefm i
37、nvolves three aspects: error, linearity and repeatability; frequency response; resistance.A.2.2 Error, linearity, and repeatabilityError, linearity, and repeatability can be tested using a simple profile that has an rt and dt at the upper 95thcentile. Pump systems can produce such a profile very acc
38、urately. Profile A is such a profile, i.e. smooth and without artefact.An apparatus suitable for this purpose (see Figure A.1) could be a mechanical syringe or piston pump. This type of apparatus can be manufactured with sufficient accuracy that can be verified by independent measurement. The motor
39、and drive to the piston should be sufficient to deliver a pef of 720 l/min (12,00 l/s) within 50 ms. The motor should incorporate an independent means for verifying its position, for example by the use of an optical shaft encoder or similar apparatus. The seal to the piston should allow a chamber pr
40、essure of 8 kPa with a leak of less than 3 l/min. Such equipment should not be used to deliver profiles with a short rt or a short dt since complex interactions within the chamber affect the true output flowrate.Key1 syringe or piston pump2 motor3 profile4 computerFigure A.1 Schematic diagram of tes
41、t apparatusA.2.3 Frequency responseThe frequency response is more difficult to test since many pefms do not have an analogue waveform output for recording. For a pefm to have adequate frequency response, it should be able to record a given pef to the same parameters whether it is from a profile with
42、 a short rt and a long dt (profile A) ISO 2015 All rights reserved 9BS EN ISO 23747:2015ISO 23747:2015(E)or from a profile with a short rt and a short dt (profile B). It is thus proposed that this aspect of pefm performance be tested using profiles A and B at the same delivered flowrate, and the rea
43、dings from the pefm be compared. They should agree within the accuracy limits in this International Standard.A.2.4 ResistanceFor reflecting the real use of a pefm, a dynamic test is more appropriate than a test using steady flow conditions. A concurrent test of linearity, accuracy, and repeatability
44、 using profile A and the test method described in Annex B is utilized. Under these conditions, all aspects of the profiles delivery can be ensured so that the resistance can be accurately determined across the measurement range of the pefm.A.3 ApparatusPump systems of differing design (see Reference
45、 17) and an explosive decompression apparatus (see Reference 22) have all been proposed for the testing of a pefm. Pump systems have the advantage that their output can be traced back to a standard. The relevant components such as the piston, the chamber drive mechanism, and the performance of the m
46、otor can all be verified. The timing of movement, which relates to the accuracy of oscillations and the pump position in relation to time, can be checked by optical shaft encoders. Pump systems have been used to test pefms with a wide range of profiles but until recently, their output did not accura
47、tely follow the input when profiles with a short dt and, to a lesser extent, a short rt, were delivered without the use of an independent flowmeter (see Reference 20).Recent developments by some pump manufacturers 1)have overcome these restrictions and are producing pump systems that are able to del
48、iver short rt and short dt profiles. Explosive decompression equipment is able to deliver short rt and short dt profiles. One limitation in this context is that their output cannot be traced back to a standard without the use of an independent flow meter. However, for testing frequency response, it
49、is not necessary for the output of this type of apparatus to be accurately calibrated; the only requirement is that the output is the same for the two types of profile. An explosive decompression apparatus fitted with a fast response solenoid whose position can be varied in real time can deliver the same output to a given pefm if the discharge pressure and solenoid opening aperture are kept the same. An independent flow meter with adequate frequency response of its analogue waveform output is needed only to verify that the shape of the p
