18.1 Hygiene Regulations
In case of normal contamination all single-use items can be disposed of with the
regular waste. In case of dangerous infectious diseases (e.g. tuberculosis, blood...)
single-use items must be disposed of through hazardous waste.
In the course of lung function testing, certain parts of the equipment can be
contaminated by germs, which creates the risk that these germs can be transferred
to the next test subject. For cross-contamination to occur, the test subject would
need to be in direct contact with the contaminated object or transport media such
as droplets or aerosols. Contaminated aerosols may be transported through the
respiratory flow and may affect the next test subject.
18.2 How often should Contaminated Parts be
Exchanged?
Single-Use ERT PT with mouthpiece
• Dispose after every patient
Nose clip
• dispose nose clip pads after every subject
ERT PT and mouthpiece are parts for single use only. These parts must
be disposed after each single use. If reused, infection may occur.
Reprocessing may deteriorate the part, resulting in reduced stability
and leakage through micro cracks or releasing micro particles that
could be inhaled. Should any of these parts be recycled and misused
intentionally, ERT takes no responsibility nor can be made liable for the
consequences arising from reusing these parts.
