When handling the EasyOne Flow Tube, you must be careful not to
contaminate the next EasyOne Flow Tube or EasyOne Air.
The wrapped EasyOne Flow Tube is hygienically wrapped and for single-
patient use only. You must use a new EasyOne Flow Tube for each patient.
WARNING
PATIENT CROSS-CONTAMINATION
If you reuse the EasyOne Flow Tube, contamination from an infected patient
can be deposited on the EasyOne Flow Tube. 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 in any way. The
EasyOne Flow Tube is for single-patient use only.
Always replace the EasyOne Flow Tube with a new one between patients or
when performing spirometry on yourself.
Only use an original EasyOne Flow Tube by the manufacturer.
1 To protect yourself and to avoid infection of patients, wear disposable
gloves.
2 Never touch the EasyOne Flow Tube directly, but partly unwrap the wrapper
and grip the EasyOne Flow Tube with the wrapper still around the
mouthpiece.
3 Keep the wrapper while the patient is performing the breathing maneuver.
4 After the patient has completed the breathing maneuver, grip the
EasyOne Flow Tube with the wrapper again and dispose of the
EasyOne Flow Tube together with the wrapper.
