QRS Pre-Calibrated Mouthpiece (100/Box)

Yes, these pre-calibrated mouthpieces are designed for full compatibility with all QRS spirometers.

Note that a separate accessory, the Pressure Tube (#Z-7000-2032), is required to connect the mouthpiece to the spirometer unit.

Yes, these pre-calibrated mouthpieces are designed to significantly reduce operational overhead and increase clinical efficiency.

Key benefits that contribute to cost and time savings include:

• Elimination of Sterilization: As individually-wrapped, disposable units, they remove the need for staff to perform time-consuming and costly sterilization procedures.
• Pre-Calibrated Accuracy: Each mouthpiece is calibrated during manufacturing according to American Thoracic Society (ATS) standards. This eliminates the staff time required to manually test every disposable unit, streamlining quality assurance.
• Reduced Liability: Using single-patient disposable accessories significantly minimizes the risk and liability associated with cross-contamination between patients.
• Extended Single-Patient Use: Although they are disposable, the same patient can safely reuse one mouthpiece up to 20 times over a 10-day period, provided the unit remains uncontaminated. This maximizes value from a single consumable.

Yes, these QRS Pre-Calibrated Mouthpieces are designed with hygiene as a priority. They are supplied in a box of 100 units, and each unit is individually wrapped.

This ensures maximum safety and efficiency in a clinical setting:

• Contamination Control: The individual packaging and designation for single-patient use greatly reduce the risk and liability associated with cross-contamination.
• Eliminates Sterilization: Because they are disposable, the need for time-consuming and costly in-house sterilization procedures is eliminated.
• Limited Reusability: While intended for single-patient use, the mouthpiece can be reused by the same patient up to 20 times within a 10-day period, provided the internal fabric remains uncontaminated.

The QRS Pre-Calibrated Mouthpiece is pre-calibrated during production, eliminating the need for individual mouthpiece calibration testing. This ensures accuracy and saves time.

Yes, the pre-calibration feature is specifically designed to streamline quality assurance (QA) procedures, providing significant time and cost savings in clinical operations.Here is how the pre-calibration simplifies QA requirements:* High Manufacturing Standard: Each mouthpiece is calibrated during production using instrumentation validated against the American Thoracic Society (ATS) recommendations.* Eliminates Unit-by-Unit Testing: Because of this integrated accuracy, clinics do not need to test every single unit upon receipt or before use.* Efficient Protocol: This supports an efficient QA program requiring only periodic sampling and testing to ensure continued accuracy and compliance, replacing the need for tedious individual unit checks.

To connect the QRS Pre-Calibrated Mouthpiece properly to any QRS spirometer, you must use a separate component called the Pressure Tube.

This tube is necessary for operation and must be purchased separately:

• Required Component: Pressure Tube
• Model Number: #Z-7000-2032

The QRS Pre-Calibrated Mouthpiece is designed to be used for spirometry testing in medical facilities, aiding in the assessment of lung function.

Yes, while the QRS Pre-Calibrated Mouthpiece is strictly intended for single-patient use only, that specific patient can reuse it under defined limits. This usage protocol saves staff time by eliminating the need for sterilization procedures.

For a single patient, the device can be reused:

• Up to 20 times total.
• Over a maximum 10-day period.
• Provided the fabric remains uncontaminated.

Yes, the QRS Pre-Calibrated Mouthpiece is designed to significantly reduce the risk of cross-contamination, which also helps minimize clinical liability. This reduction is achieved through several key features:

• Individually Wrapped: Each of the 100 mouthpieces is individually sealed, ensuring sterile handling and guaranteed cleanliness upon first use.
• Disposable Design: The product is designated for single patient use only, eliminating the need for staff to perform costly and time-consuming sterilization procedures.
• Extended Single-Patient Use: While disposable, a single mouthpiece can be safely used up to 20 times over a 10-day period by the same patient, provided the device remains uncontaminated.

Yes, the QRS Pre-Calibrated Mouthpiece significantly enhances clinical efficiency and reduces operational costs through its design:

• Reduces Calibration Labor: Each mouthpiece is factory-calibrated using equipment validated against American Thoracic Society (ATS) recommendations. This eliminates the need for clinical staff to perform time-consuming, in-house quality assurance testing on every unit.
• Eliminates Sterilization Procedures: Since these mouthpieces are individually-wrapped and disposable, they remove the necessity for staff time and resources dedicated to reprocessing or sterilization, while minimizing the liability of cross-contamination.
• Allows Extended Single-Patient Use: Although disposable, each unit can be safely used by the same patient up to 20 times over a 10-day period (provided contamination is avoided), maximizing the value and effective lifespan of each accessory.
