EMI that exceeds the test levels in immunity test tables below will result in a failed calibration verification. Reference section 5.4 of this document for details on completing a calibration verification on the In2itive. If interference is suspected or possible, move the In2itive to a new location and repeat the calibration verification. 27. The applied part is the flowhead and device body or just the flowhead when using the remote flowhead adaptor. These along with the BVF, are the contact points for the subject during a spirometry session.

A Global Leader in Respiratory Solutions Artifact Description Start of Test The extrapolated volume must be less than 5% of the FVC or less than 0.100L, whichever is greater. If not, the test is deemed a slow start of test. For a child aged ≥5yr and ≤6yr years old, extrapolated volume must be less than 12.5% of the FVC or 0.08L, whichever is greater. If not, the test is deemed a slow start of test and the subject should be encouraged to blast the air out of their lungs without hesitation.

8. Cleaning & Hygiene 8.1. Preventing Cross-Contamination of Subjects A spirometer is not designed or supplied as a ‘sterile’ device. Vitalograph intends that a new Bacterial Viral Filter (BVF) be used for every subject to prevent cross contamination. Using a new BVF provides a significant level of protection of the subject, the device and the user against cross contamination during spirometry manoeuvres.
‘Cleaning and Hygiene’ on the Vitalograph website. 8.2. Inspection of the Vitalograph In2itive No inspection of the device is required by the subject. The device is used under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
