Directions for Use Chapter 4 Performing Spirometry Tests 37
Connecting the Spirometer Components
1. Verify that the sensor and pressure tubing are clean and undamaged. Look for signs
of deterioration, including but not limited to cracks, cuts, discoloration, or oxidation.
If any part exhibits any of these symptoms, replace it. See “Ordering Information for
Replacement Parts” on page 9.
2. Attach a flow transducer to the pressure tubing. See Figure 24 .
3. Attach a sensor to the other end of the pressure tubing. See Figure 25 .
4. Connect the sensor to the electrocardiograph’s spirometry port. Hand-tighten the
sensor connectors. Do not overtighten the connectors, or they may become stripped.
See
Figure 26 .
The CP 200 software automatically activates the spirometry functions throughout the
software.

WARNING To prevent the spread of infection, use a new flow transducer for
each patient. Use rubber gloves when replacing used flow transducers, and wash
hands after touching them. Discard flow transducers after a single patient use.
Note Bacteria filters are unnecessary.
