以上説明したように、呼吸機能検査装置70によれば、調整板82をスライドさせるだけで流入抵抗の大きさを変更できる。換言すれば、流入抵抗の大きさを変更する抵抗設定部80を簡易な構成で実現できる。
[その他の実施形態]
以上、本開示の実施形態について説明したが、本開示は上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本開示の要旨を逸脱しない範囲において、様々な態様にて実施することが可能である。
本開示は、実施例に準拠して記述されたが、本開示は当該実施例や構造に限定されるものではないと理解される。本開示は、様々な変形例や均等範囲内の変形をも包含する。加えて、様々な組み合わせや形態、さらには、それらに一要素のみ、それ以上、あるいはそれ以下、を含む他の組み合わせや形態をも、本開示の範疇や思想範囲に入るものである。
