[Design and application of laser-disk for clinical pulmonary data base system using the personal computer].
A database system is described for managing the information on pulmonary function test (PFT) measured by three different PFT devices. The data is transmitted into a personal computer, FM-11AD2+ (FUJITSU CO., LTD.) with a 20 MB hard disk and a 800 MB laser disk. Multitasking OS, OS-9/6809, is used to operate the software. PFT data of about 15,000 cases may be stored, which can be easily retrieved for research and discussions on a case study. Despite the present limitation of the processing speed and the capacity of the hard disk, this system is useful because it allows to provide reports readily.
