CAUTION
PATIENT CROSS-CONTAMINATION
If you reuse the EasyOne Flow Tube, DLCO barriette, or FRC barriette, contami-
nation from an infected patient can be deposited on the EasyOne Flow Tube,
on the DLCO barriette, or on the FRC barriette. The contamination from an in-
fected patient can later be passed on to the next patient who is tested.
You cannot clean or disinfect the EasyOne Flow Tube, the DLCO barriette, or
the FRC barriette in any way. The EasyOne Flow Tube, the DLCO barriette, and
the FRC barriette are for single-patient use only.
Always replace the EasyOne Flow Tube, the DLCO barriette, and the
FRC barriette with a new one between patients or when performing lung func-
tion test on yourself.
Only use an original EasyOne Flow Tube, DLCO barriette, and FRC barriette by
the manufacturer.
The procedure To perform the FVC breathing maneuver represent the
breathing maneuver for the FVC test. If you use the FVL test for forced
spirometry, replace the procedure To perform the FVC breathing maneuver

The quality grades A to C indicate a reliable result. The quality grades D and F
indicate insufficient test quality. The result must then be interpreted with
caution.
On the printed report, parameters that are below the lower limit of normal
(LLN) are marked with an asterisk (*). Unacceptable trials are marked with the
number sign (#). In addition to the marks, EasyOne Air and EasyOne Connect
offer an automatic interpretation aid.
It is possible to deactivate the automatic quality grading function and the
system interpretation function.
