The disposable turbine is made of plastic and its disposal
after use should adhere to the local regulations and norms
in force.
Reusable turbine
The correct functioning of the re-usable turbine can only be
guaranteed if it has been cleaned in the correct manner and
is free from foreign bodies which could alter its movement.
If the turbine has not been cleaned sufficiently this could
cause cross-contamination from one patient to another.
Periodic cleaning should only be done when the device is
for personal use and will only be used by one patient. The
cleaning of the turbine should be performed according to
the instructions contained in the User’s Manual.
The following information applies to both turbine models.
The turbine must never be held under running water or direct air pressure and must
never come into contact with hot fluids.
Do not allow dust or foreign bodies to enter the turbine sensor which may alter the
correct functioning and possibly cause damage. The presence of any impurities such
as hair, sputum, threads etc. within the body of the turbine sensor may seriously
compromise the accuracy of the measurements.
2.2.3
Mouthpiece
Any disposable mouthpieces included with the spirometer are only to be used as a
reference guide to purchase the correct size mouthpiece required. These mouthpieces
are clean but not sterile. To purchase appropriate mouthpieces, generally either paper
or plastic, single-use/disposable, we suggest that you contact your local distributor
.
WARNING
Use a bio-compatible mouthpiece to avoid any problems to the patient;
unsuitable materials could cause the device to malfunction, consequently
providing incorrect test results.
The user is responsible for obtaining the proper mouthpieces for the device. Those
required are a standard type with an outside diameter of 30 mm, they are commonly
used and in general easily procured.
WARNING
To avoid environmental contamination caused by the disposal of used
mouthpieces, the user must follow all the relevant local regulations.
