5. CARE AND CLEANING OF THE VITALOGRAPH LUNG MONITOR USB 5.1. Home use cleaning and disinfection of the Vitalograph lung monitor The Vitalograph lung monitor should continue to give reliable measurements for up to three years in home use. Then replace it with a new device. Keep it clean and dust free. If you suspect the device is damaged or is measuring incorrectly, contact the doctor immediately. The mouthpiece is the only part of the device, which needs to be routinely cleaned in home use. The outer surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned every week, more often if necessary. We recommend the use of an ordinary alcohol wipe, paying special attention to the mouthpiece area.

5.2. Cleaning and Disinfecting the Vitalograph lung monitor In Clinic Use A new mouthpiece (either SafeTway or BVF) should be used for each subject. A delay of at least 5 minutes should be allowed between subjects to allow settling of previously aerosolized particles in the measuring device. It is recommended that the device be regularly cleaned according to the guidelines of the user’s facility. The disinfection materials and procedures applied in the users’ facility may be more appropriate than the methods outlined below. In the event of visible contamination of the flowhead element, it should be cleaned or disinfected as described in the accompanying table. The device should be replaced in the event of damage, or if visibly contaminated. The frequency of cleaning and disinfecting is dependent on the facility’s risk assessment, usage, and test environment, but it should be at least monthly or every 100 subjects (300 blows). It is recommended that the device be replaced annually or test and calibration serviced at least annually. There is no planned preventive maintenance for this medical device.

All external parts of the Vitalograph lung monitor require cleaning, i.e. the removal of visible particulate contamination. The parts of the device that make up the flowhead, which comes into contact with the breath of the subjects being tested, also require disinfecting. This device is not designated as a ‘sterile’ device. Definitions of cleaning and disinfection are as defined in “Sterilization, Disinfection and Cleaning of Medical Equipment: Guidance on Decontamination from the Microbiology Committee to Department of Health Medical Devices Directorate, 1996”. Recommendations for chemical disinfectants are derived from the PHLS publication “Chemical Disinfection in Hospitals” 1993.

Flowhead Disassembled
Flowhead Assembled
1. Remove the flowhead from the body with a sharp pulling motion. 2. Clean the flowhead by washing in a mild detergent to remove particulate contamination, taking care not to touch the moving vanes. Swill vigorously in water with mild detergent. Do not attempt to “rub” or “scrub” in the area of the vanes. Rinse with clean water. 3. Disinfect by immersion in sodium dichloroisocyanurate solution at 1000 ppm concentration of free chlorine for 15 minutes. Prepare disinfectant solution as directed in the manufacturer’s guidelines. Rinse with warm water for faster drying. 4. Leave it to dry completely before reassembling. Drying the flowhead may require placing it in a warm place overnight. A drying cabinet is ideal.
Wiping with a 70% Isopropyl Alcohol impregnated cloth provides a suitable form of cleaning and lowlevel disinfection for the case exterior, display, screen surround and keys. Repeat this at least weekly to prevent a buildup of grime from normal handling and use. Always follow the safety guidelines given by the manufacturer of cleaning and disinfectant chemicals or equipment. Reassemble the flowhead by pushing back on until it ‘clicks’ into position. Ensure that the flowhead is pushed fully home. When the flowhead is reassembled, it is good practice with any respiratory measuring device for an accuracy check to be performed using a 3L Precision Syringe. An accuracy of +/ 3.5% should be achieved. Device is within limits if it passes the check using either a 1 second or a 3 second syringe stroke speed.(FEV6 reading should be used).
