5. CARE AND CLEANING OF THE VITALOGRAPH LUNG MONITOR BT
5.1. Home use cleaning and disinfection of the Vitalograph lung monitor
The Vitalograph lung monitor should continue to give reliable measurements for up to three years
in home use. Then replace it with a new device.
Keep it clean and dust free. If you suspect the device is damaged or is measuring incorrectly,
contact the doctor immediately.
The mouthpiece is the only part of the device, which needs to be routinely cleaned in home use.
The outer surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned every week, more often if necessary. We
recommend the use of an ordinary alcohol wipe, paying special attention to the mouthpiece area.

5.2. Cleaning and Disinfecting the Vitalograph lung monitor In Clinic Use
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 device be regularly cleaned according to the guidelines of the user’s
facility. The disinfection materials and procedures applied in the users’ facility may be more
appropriate than the methods outlined below.
In the event of visible contamination of the flowhead element, it should be cleaned or disinfected
as described in the accompanying table. The device should be replaced in the event of damage, 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 (300 blows).
It is recommended that the device be replaced annually or test and calibration serviced at least
annually. There is no planned preventive maintenance for this medical device.
