Mouthpiece

Any disposable mouthpieces included with the spirometer are only to be used as a
reference guide to purchase the correct size mouthpiece required. These mouthpieces
are clean but not sterile. To purchase appropriate mouthpieces, generally either paper
or plastic, single-use/disposable, we suggest that you contact your local distributor.

unsuitable materials could cause the device to malfunction, consequently
providing incorrect test results.
The user is responsible for obtaining the proper mouthpieces for the device. Those
required are a standard type with an outside diameter of 30 mm, they are commonly
used and in general easily procured.

To avoid environmental contamination caused by the disposal of used
mouthpieces, the user must follow all the relevant local regulations.
