Warnings
●
Please read the manual before use.
●
Never use alcohol or cleaning agents
containing alcohol or other organic
solvents as these vapours will damage
the electrochemical sensor inside.
●
Under no circumstances should the
instrument be immersed or splashed
with liquid.
●
The battery life is indicated by the
icon. When the
icon is displayed
the batteries should be changed.
●
Breath tests must only be carried out
with Bedfont accessories. Failure to do
so may cause incorrect readings.
●
The mouthpieces are single patient use
only and can be used for a maximum
of 3 tests. Further re-use could cause
incorrect readings and could increase
the risk of cross infection. The
mouthpiece should be disposed of after
use, in accordance with local waste
disposal guidance.
●
Patients should exhale for the duration
of time indicated by the monitor during a
breath test. Failure to do so may cause
incorrect readings.
●
To ensure a breath sample is taken at
the correct flow rate, the monitor must
be held upright at all times during a
breath test. The ball in the NObreathFlo
should be kept within the white band in
the centre of the tube during a test.
●
The mouthpiece may become warm to
the touch after use.
●
The NObreathFlo should be used for
50 tests only, then disposed. A new
NObreathFlo is provided with each pack
of 50 mouthpieces.
●
Do not block the exhaust port on
the device at any time. Blocking the
exhaust port may cause erroneous
readings.
●
The instrument should be set to zero
every month. See page 10 for details.
●
See Bedfont’s infection control and
maintenance guidelines for further
information on infection control.
Contraindications
●
The sensor has some cross-sensitivities
to breath gases. These are low and
should not affect readings. Please
contact Bedfont for more information.
Caution
●
Ensure the monitor is used within the
temperature and relative humidity (Rh)
range as stated in the Specification on
page 4.
●
Portable and mobile RF communications
equipment can affect the NObreath.
●
Federal law restricts this device to sale
by or on the order of a physician (USA
only).
