Life365 KT-RES-HB Respiratory Remote Monitoring Kit
Using the Spirometer
for the Remote Patient Monitoring Program
WELCOME! Now that you have successfully installed the Life365 Health app and enabled the Bluetooth settings on your smart device, you are ready to begin setting up your monitoring devices. We are so glad you have decided to start proactively managing your breathing from home with our monitoring technology
What is Spirometry?
Spirometry measures how much air you inhale, how much you exhale and how quickly you exhale. It can be helpful in monitoring your lung condition such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other conditions that affect breathing.
How Remote Patient Monitoring Works
WHAT THE PATIENT WILL DO:
- Use this device as instructed by your doctor
- Call WPH Cares at 914-681-2273 (M-F, 10am-4pm) for clinical questions
- Call Life365 at 888-818-2322, ext: 2 for technical support (M-F, 8am-8pm)
- In an emergency, call 911 or go to the Emergency Department
WHAT THE CARE TEAM WILL DO:
- Monitor your device readings
- Be available to support you through the monitoring process
- Contact you and/or your doctor if:
- No readings are logged
- Readings are above or below target
Your provider has asked that you use this device every day. However, your plan is individual to you and your health needs. Make sure you write down how often your provider would like you to record your levels. Taking your daily readings only requires a few minutes!
NOTE : For measurement readings to be recorded in your Life365 account, the Life365 Health App must be open when a measurement reading is being taken.
MY PERSONAL SPIROMETER PLAN IS:
- times per day*
- number of days
- is my goal level
What To Do!
- You should take more readings if:
- You are short of breath
- You suspect the reading was not accurate or improperly recorded
- If you use oxygen, please do not remove the nasal cannula to take your readings.
- Stand up and relax before you take your readings. You will be taking 3 long breaths.
- Breathe in as deeply as you can and then place your lips tightly around the mouthpiece so no air can escape.
- Exhale forcefully until your lungs are completely empty. You can remove the device from your mouth when you inhale again.
- Repeat the above process two more times for a total of three long breaths. Wait a few seconds and click the “Save” button.
