CHAPTER 2

INTENDED USE

The FLOWMATE V PLUS spirometer is intended for use with adult and pediatric

patients for the diagnosis and monitoring of pulmonary disorders. The company

disclaims responsibility for all other uses, and the user agrees to assume liability for

damages resulting from non-intended use or operator error by the user or user’s

employees.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

The following warnings and precautions must be heeded at all times:

Use a genuine Spirometrics filter/mouthpiece (Spiro-Filter) to ensure proper

accuracy, reduce the risk of patient cross-contamination and to protect the

internal sensor element. Replace the Spiro-Filter after each patient.

When the unit is not used for extended periods of time, set the printer lever in

the down position. If the printer is left for a long time with the printer head

engaged, the printer head may become deformed and print quality cannot be

guaranteed. See the LOADING PAPER section later in this chapter.

Clean the EASY CLEAN cartridge regularly to insure the long-term stability

and accuracy of the instrument. Please refer to Chapter 6 MAINTENANCE

AND TROUBLESHOOTING for proper cleaning procedures. Do not attempt

to clean the unit with abrasives or solvents. Do not autoclave any portion of the

unit.

Never immerse any component of the system in water or other liquids with the

exception of the EASY CLEAN cartridge.

The FLOWMATE V PLUS has built-in calibration capability. The 1994 ATS

standard on spirometry recommends daily calibration of this instrument or

more frequently as appropriate.

Accurate and effective use of the FLOWMATE V PLUS depends on correct

application of well established spirometry practices.

Do not operate the unit in a flammable or explosive atmosphere.

Insure that the EASY CLEAN cartridge is properly installed as described in

Chapter 6 MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING.

Do not drop the sensor handle. The FLOWMATE V PLUS handle is a sensitive

measurement device. Improper handling could affect the accuracy of its

reported results.

Check the list to make sure all items listed are in the box.

1 - FLOWMATE V PLUS

1 - Thermal paper roll

1 - Power cord

1 - Power supply

1 - Operator’s manual

2. Place FLOWMATE V PLUS on flat surface.

the power input of FLOWMATE V PLUS.

•Take the IEC320 connector end of power cord and plug into the power

supply.

•Plug AC cord into an outlet.

4. Insert disposable filter onto EASY CLEAN Cartridge.

LOADING PAPER

The FLOWMATE V PLUS is equipped with an internal thermal printer, and an external

parallel printer connection. Before using, the thermal paper will have to be loaded.

1. Cut the printer paper with a diagonal cut as shown at the end of this section.

Position the printer lever in the down position. This releases the printer platen

to ease the threading of paper into the printer.

2. Place paper roll into holder by pulling either of the spring-loaded clips.

3. Insert paper into the printer slot going in from the top. When the paper meets

with resistance against the paper roller, press the PAPER key on the keypad.

Pressing once and releasing will advance the paper one line at a time.

Pressing the PAPER key down and holding it for 4 seconds will initiate the

printer continuous feed mode until the PAPER key is released.

Note: The printer has an internal paper sensor located on the right hand

side. If when inserting the paper to thread the printer, paper does not cover

the sensor, the printer will not advance when pressing the paper key. It will

beep to indicate that the paper is not detected. Please remove and try again.

4. Once the paper has begun to feed through the printer, create enough lead to

check the paper alignment through the printer by lining up the edges of the

paper through the printer with that to be fed into it from the back. Shift as

necessary to align.

5. Set paper release toggle to up position to engage printer platen onto the paper.

CAUTION: When the unit is not used for extended periods of time, set the

printer lever in the down position. If the printer is left for a long time with

the printer head engaged, the printer head may become deformed and print

quality cannot be guaranteed.

6. Press paper advance.

We suggest cutting the thermal paper roll on a diagonal and leave about an inch on the

right hand side to ease the paper detection and threading of paper into the printer:

Now your FLOWMATE V PLUS is ready to operate.
