When handling the EasyOne FlowTube, you must be careful not to
contaminate the next EasyOne FlowTube or EasyOne Air.
The wrapped EasyOne FlowTube is hygienically wrapped and for single-
patient use only. You must use a new EasyOne FlowTube for each patient.
WARNING
PATIENT CROSS-CONTAMINATION
If you reuse the EasyOne FlowTube, contamination from an infected patient
can be deposited on the EasyOne FlowTube. The contamination from an infect-
ed patient can later be passed on to the next patient who is tested.
You cannot clean or disinfect the EasyOne FlowTube in any way. The
EasyOne FlowTube is for single-patient use only.
Always replace the EasyOne FlowTube with a new one between patients or
when performing spirometry on yourself.
Only use an original EasyOne FlowTube by the manufacturer.
1 To protect yourself and to avoid infection of patients, wear disposable
gloves.
2 Never touch the EasyOne FlowTube directly, but partly unwrap the wrapper
and grip the EasyOne FlowTube 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 FlowTube with the wrapper again and dispose of the
EasyOne FlowTube together with the wrapper.
