In order to obtain the computer-generated intrpretation of data produced externally (either real or fancy data) you can open the “Manual Entry” application (InfoPFT DEMO -> Manual Entry).

The screen shows on the left the same patterns of maximum volume flow curves as in the previous case, but obviously not the curve itself. Users must select the pattern that best defines the curve obtained (or imagined). The data are entered in the corresponding spaces of the “Real” and PostBD) columns.

Select the language and Click on “Generate Report” as in the Clinical Cases Demo.

You can modify entered data simply typing in the cell the new value/s.

Predicted value sets cannot be selected, and are the following:
FVC 1 Quanjer et al GLI ERS 2012
FEV1 1 Quanjer et al GLI ERS 2012
FEV1/FVC 1 Quanjer et al GLI ERS 2012
