DATOSPIR TOUCH User’s Manual 64
511-B00-MU2 • REV. 1 .09
When performing an intensive use of the spirometer, it is
recommended to have several transducers for replacing them while
the used ones are being disinfected.
If a bacterial filter is used in conjunction with the Fleisch or Turbine
transducers, the
CIDEX® OPA
solution indicated in Step 2 can be
replaced by soapy (neutral) water.
C) LILLY DISPOSABLE PNEUMOTACHOMETER
This transducer does not need any kind of cleaning as they are
only for single use. They must be thrown away once the patient
has carried out the tests.
Reutilization of the disposables transducers induces a
risk of cross-infection between patients. The use of
disinfectant products can affect the transducer’s mesh
inducing a loss of accuracy in the measurement.
D) HANDLE AND TRANSDUCERS HOUSING
Clean the external parts of the transducer's housing and handle
with a wipe moistened with soapy (neutral) water or with 96º
alcohol. Then, they can be wiped dry. Pay attention to avoid
inserting strange elements into the pressure inlets of the Lilly
handle (clean it with the handle in inverted position).
Do not use abrasive substances or solvents.
