PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a respiratory function testing apparatus capable of performing a vital capacity test consisting of a respiratory function measurement after causing a subject to respirate at a prescribed period.SOLUTION: The respiratory function testing apparatus sets up a plurality of different reference periods as respiration periods to be performed by a subject, performs a guide notification for guiding the respiration period of the subjects to a reference period and, after completion of a respiratory function test corresponding to the reference period, transfers to s guide notification at a next reference period. The respiratory function testing apparatus determines whether or not to match the reference period of the currently-executing guide notification and a respiration period of the subject measured during the guide notification and, when it is determined not to match, performs a prescribed notification.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】被験者に所定の周期で呼吸を行わせた後の呼吸機能測定からなる肺気量分画検査を実施可能な呼吸機能検査装置を提供する。【解決手段】被験者に行わせる呼吸周期として異なる複数の基準周期を設定し、被験者の呼吸周期を基準周期に誘導するための誘導報知を実行し、当該基準周期に対応した呼吸機能検査の完了後に次の基準周期での誘導報知に移行する。実行されている誘導報知の基準周期と誘導報知中に計測される被験者の呼吸周期が合致しているか否かを判定し、合致していないと判定された場合は所定の報知を行う。【選択図】図1
