The device should not be used beyond the declared life span. In normal conditions the lifespan of the device is estimated to
be around 10 years. The device constantly monitors the state of charge of this battery and a message informs the user when
the battery is discharged.
1.2.1 Danger of cross-contamination
Two different types of turbine sensors can be used with the device, one is reusable and the other is single-patient disposable. A disposable
mouthpiece is required in order to connect a patient to the spirometer. In order to avoid exposing the patient to the critical danger of
cross-contamination, the reusable flow sensor must always be cleaned before each spirometry test, and a new disposable mouthpiece
must always be used for each patient. The use of an anti-bacterial filter is at the discretion of the doctor. If a single-patient disposable
turbine is used, then a new one must be used for each patient.
1.2.2 Turbine
The following information applies to both types of turbine.
The turbine must never be held under running water or direct air pressure and must never come into contact with hot fluids.
Do not allow dust or foreign matter to enter the turbine sensor which may alter the correct functioning and possibly cause damage.
The presence of any impurities such as hair, sputum, threads etc. within the body of the turbine sensor may seriously compromise
measurement accuracy.
1.2.3 Mouthpiece
Any disposable mouthpieces included with the spirometer are only to be used as a reference guide to purchase the correct size
mouthpiece required. These mouthpieces are clean but not sterile. To purchase appropriate mouthpieces, generally either paper or
plastic, single-use/disposable, we suggest that you contact your local distributor.
WARNING
Use a bio-compatible mouthpiece to avoid any problems to the patient; unsuitable materials could cause the device to
malfunction, consequently providing incorrect test results.
The user is responsible for obtaining the proper mouthpieces for the device. The required mouthpiece is a standard type with an outside
diameter of 30 mm, is of common use and in general easily procured.
WARNING
To avoid environmental contamination caused by the disposal of used mouthpieces, the user must follow all the relevant
local regulations.

Disposable turbine
WARNING
For spirometry testing with a disposable turbine it is important to use a new
turbine for each new patient. The accuracy and hygiene of the disposable
turbine can only be guaranteed if it has been conserved beforehand in its
original sealed packaging The disposable turbine is made of plastic and its
disposal after use should adhere to the local regulations and norms in force.
Reusable turbine
WARNING
The correct functioning of the re-usable turbine can only be guaranteed if it has
been cleaned in the correct manner and is free from foreign bodies which could
alter its movement. If the turbine has not been cleaned sufficiently this could
cause cross-contamination from one patient to another. Periodic cleaning
should only be done when the device is for personal use and will only be used
by one patient. The cleaning of the turbine should be performed according to
the instructions contained in the User's Manual.
