CAUTION

Preventative Cleaning

Clean the outside of the Spirometer handle with a mild solution of detergent and water on

a soft cloth. Do not use an excessive amount of solution. Be sure not to wet the

connectors on the top or the battery compartment at the bottom. If necessary, use a mild

sterilizing detergent with low alcohol content generally used in hospitals. Verify that all

equipment, including accessories, is completely dry before using.

Preventative Inspection

A preventative inspection should be done prior to each use. This is done to verify that

there is no visible damage to the unit that may cause it to malfunction.

Visual inspection should include the handle and the cable for signs of damage and

deterioration, including but not limited to cracks, cuts, discoloration, or oxidation. If a

cable or other accessory exhibits any of these symptoms, call Midmark Diagnostics

Group Customer Service.
