DOE-STD-1187-2005

4.4.2. Unique ID: This is an encrypted identification number unique to each

beryllium-associated worker. It is assigned by the site and is used to

link multiple records to one worker. Every record submitted to the

Data Center must include the Unique ID. Sites enrolled in the IISP

should use the workers' IISP identifiers as the Unique ID.

4.4.3. Status Code: Indicates whether this is a new record (N) or a delete

record (D) in the beryllium-related medical surveillance data for

spirometry results. To make corrections to a previously submitted

record the site should submit both a delete record (D) and a

corresponding new record (N) that will replace the deleted record for

the worker. The aggregate spirometry results data may contain more

than one record for each date reported for a worker. Therefore, a

delete record (D) requires matching values for the Site Code, Unique

ID, Spirometry Date, and all 4 spirometry results. Each delete record

will apply to only one record in the data table, so if the site wishes to

delete multiple records it should supply the proper number of delete

records.

4.4.4. Spirometry Date: Date the spirometry test was administered

(MM/DD/YYYY).

4.4.5. FVC: Spirometry result. FVC is "forced vital capacity" and is

reported as percent of normal expected for a person of the worker's

size, age, and gender. Give value as a decimal, e.g. 0.75.

4.4.6. FEV1: Spirometry result. FEV1.0 is the "forced expiratory volume at

1.0 second" and is reported as percent of normal expected for a person

of the worker's size, age, and gender. Give value as a decimal.

4.4.7. FEV1/FVC: Results should be available with the FVC and FEV1 test

results. This is typically reported as a decimal number.

4.4.8. FEV2575: Spirometry result. FEV.25-.75 is the "forced expiratory

volume between 25% and 75% of the total forced expiratory volume"

and is reported as percent of normal expected for a person of the

worker's size, age, and gender. Give as a decimal.
