5.4 Position the nose clip.
When the patient is comfortable, place the nose clip on the patient’s
nostrils. The nose clip is used to block airflow through the nostrils and
ensures that the MetaCheck™ analyzes ALL of the exhaled air. A nose
clip is not necessary if a full face mask is used for testing.
5.5 Place the MetaBreather™ mouthpiece in the patient’s mouth.
The MetaBreather™ mouthpiece
should be placed in the mouth. The
lips should close around the
mouthpiece forming a seal. Be sure
that the lips form an air-tight seal
around the mouthpiece so that all
expired gas air passes through the
hose. The hose used with the
mouthpiece is specially designed to
support the mouthpiece during a
test. The mouthpiece can also be
rotated within the hose to promote comfort. To do this, bend the
hose in such a way that it supports the weight of the hose and
mouthpiece when they are in place. The hose will retain its form
after it has been bent. It is important that the patient relaxes as
much as possible during the test.
Warning: Always use a KORR factory authorized MetaBreather
to ensure correct metabolic rate measurements and protect
your MetaCheck device warranty.
