Cleaning and Disinfecting the Vitalograph In2itive
A new mouthpiece (either SafeTway or BVF) should be used for each
subject. A delay of at least 5 minutes should be allowed between
subjects to allow settling of previously aerosolized particles in the
measuring device.
It is recommended that the flowhead be regularly cleaned according to
the guidelines of the user’s facility.
In the event of visible contamination of the flowhead cones or flowhead
element, they should be cleaned or disinfected as described in the
accompanying table. The flowhead should also be replaced in the
event of damage to the conditioning meshes, or if visibly contaminated.
The frequency of cleaning and disinfecting is dependent on the
Facility’s Risk Assessment, usage, and test environment, but it should
be at least monthly or every 100 subjects (500 blows).
It is recommended that the flowhead—flowhead complete and
flowhead connection tube—be replaced annually.
