7. Cleaning & Hygiene
7.1. Preventing Cross-Contamination of Subjects
A spirometer is not designed or supplied as a ‘sterile’ device.
Vitalograph intends that a new Bacterial Viral Filter (BVF) be used
for every subject to prevent cross contamination. Using a new
BVF provides a significant level of protection for the subject, the
device and the user against cross contamination during spirometry
manoeuvres.
The interior of a Vitalograph flowhead does not require
decontamination where a new BVF is used for each subject. The
outside surfaces of the device and flowhead tube may be cleaned
with a 70% isopropyl alcohol impregnated cloth to remove any
visible soiling and for low level disinfection.
