9 Safety information
9.1 Warnings
See “Warnings” on page -3.
9.2 Cautions
• Mobile phones and cordless phones and gas emitting appliances might
interfere with the instrument and could make it impossible to perform a
measurement.
• Elevated ambient Nitrogen Dioxide (NO
2
) may interfere with FeNO
measurement; therefore, ensure that the patient inhales correctly
according to instruction solely through the filter.
• The instrument might produce some heat during normal operation, the
temperature could increase up to 9°F above the ambient temperature.
Make sure that the ventilation slots are not blocked. Do not place the
instrument on a bed, sofa, carpet, or other soft surface.
• Exhaled breath contains water vapor which can condense inside the
instrument. When excessively used in a short period, there is a risk
for condensation of water inside NIOX VERO.
Normally a maximum of 10 exhalations/hour can be performed with
NIOX VERO during continuous use. However, it is possible to perform 20
exhalations in one hour if the instrument is paused for a minimum of 30
minutes prior to the next session of exhalations. Exhalations include failed
and successful measurements.
• The Sensor shall be kept in its original unopened package before
installation. For transportation and storage conditions, refer to page 46.
• The Sensor is sensitive to changes in ambient temperature and humidity.
The best performance is achieved if the ambient conditions are stable.
Refer to the recommended environmental conditions see page 40. Keep
the unit away from windows, direct sun, radiators, stoves or open fire in
