Operating conditions
Ensure stable operating conditions by avoiding placement of the instrument
in direct sunlight, near sources radiating heat, or ventilation. NIOX VERO op-
erates during the following conditions:
•
NO in ambient air up to 300 ppb
To verify NO in ambient air, perform an ambient measurement, see page 15
•
Exhaled flow during FeNO measurements at 50 ml/s (3 L/min) ± 10%
BTPS* during 10 seconds.
*Body Temperature Pressure Saturated, 98.6 °F (37 °C), 14.7 psi
(1013 hPa), 100% RH
•
Temperature range of 50°F to 95°F
•
A relative humidity range of 20% to 80%, non condensing
•
An atmospheric pressure range of 700 hPa to 1060 hPa
Performance shall be sustained when measuring continuously at a rate of
up to 10 measurements / hour.
Exhaled breath contains water vapor which can condense inside the in-
strument. When excessively used in a short period, there is a risk for
condensation of water inside NIOX VERO.
Normally a maximum of 10 exhalations/hour can be performed with
NIOX VERO during continuous use. However, it is possible to perform 20 ex-
halations in one hour if the instrument is paused for a minimum of 30 minutes
prior to the next session of exhalations. Exhalations include failed and suc-
cessful measurements.
