Verify that the sensor and pressure tubing are clean and undamaged. Look for signs
of deterioration, including but not limited to cracks, cuts, discoloration, or oxidation.
If any part exhibits any of these symptoms, replace it. See
2.
Attach a flow transducer to the pressure tubing. See
.
3.
Attach a sensor to the other end of the pressure tubing. See
.
4.
Connect the sensor to the electrocardiograph’s spirometry port. Hand-tighten the
sensor connectors. Do not overtighten the connectors, or they may become stripped.

each patient. Use rubber gloves when replacing used flow transducers, and wash
hands after touching them. Discard flow transducers after a single patient use.
Note
Bacteria filters are unnecessary.
