2. As medical grade oxygen is consumed and respiratory carbon dioxide is removed
from expired breathe the volume falls progressively. The slope on the trace indi-
cates the rate at which oxygen is consumed.
3. Continue until half the oxygen has been used or for two minutes whichever occurs
first.
4. Draw a straight line linking the upper or lower extremities of the trace for the sec-
tion under examination. It is convenient if the lines extends over the length of the
chart corresponding to one minute. Measure the vertical change in this time. This
corresponds to the volume of oxygen consumed in one minute. The investigation
can be repeated during and after exercise and it is interesting to compare.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Please ensure that the washing agent and sanitizing agent are BSI
accredited and approved by the H&S department.
Outside Surfaces: Wipe with a soft cloth or sponge soaked in warm soapy water.
Inside Surfaces: Can be descaled to maintain in an as new condition. Descale by adding
1 litre of vinegar to water and leave for an hour. Empty and brush the lime away. Rinse
thoroughly afterwards.
The stainless steel crevice free tank should provide years of valuable service and is
resistant to chloride containing solutions but it is important to avoid high concentrations
of halogens- particularly chloride. Halogen deposits may show as rust which can be
cleaned off with nitric acid (10%) on a cloth. WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT!
Bar Keepers Friend® can be used as a stainless steel cleanser to remove unsightly mineral
deposits.
EXTERIOR ANTI BACTERIAL PAINTED SURFACES
The spirometer should be cleaned at regular intervals by wiping external surfaces with
a cloth or sponge soaked in warm water with a mild detergent. DO NOT USE STRONG
SOLVENTS OR SOLUTIONS CONTAINING CHLORINATED HYDROCARBONS, ESTERS,
KETONES OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS AS THIS MAY DAMAGE THE BUILT IN ANTI BACTERIAL
PROPERTIES.
The “anti-bacterial” paint finish inhibits the growth of bacteria. It has been tested by
independant specialist houses using internationally recognised test methods and
proven to be effective against a wide range if bacteria including Escherichia Coli and
Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA).
