Description

The QRS Pre-Calibrated Mouthpiece (#Z-5000-2608 / 100 per Box) is disposable and calibrated during production using the same equipment LDS hospital uses to validate spirometers against the American Thoracic Society's recommendations for the standardization of spirometry. It is compatible with all QRS spirometers.

Warranty: 90 Days - Free from Defects in Material and Workmanship.

These pneumotachs are individually-wrapped and single patient use only, but can be used up to 20 times over a 10 day period for that patient, if the fabric does not become contaminated. The patient should open, handle, and dispose of his/her own mouthpiece and should return it to its plastic bag to avoid contamination if future use is anticipated.

The QRS mouthpiece reduces the liability for cross-contamination and eliminates the need for sterilization. This can save your staff time and money.

The ATS/ERS 2005 Standardization of Spirometry document recommends a calibration plan for disposable mouthpieces. Because QRS mouthpieces are pre-calibrated in production, there is no need to test every mouthpiece. QRS recommends implementing a quality assurance program to periodically select and test calibration on a sample of disposable mouthpiece pneumotachs.

The Pressure Tube (#Z-7000-2032) connects the Pre-Calibrated Mouthpiece to the QRS spirometers.

Frequently asked questions

Is this mouthpiece compatible with all QRS spirometers?

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.

Can a patient reuse this disposable mouthpiece?

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:

<ul>
<li>Up to 20 times total.</li>
<li>Over a maximum 10-day period.</li>
<li>Provided the fabric remains uncontaminated.</li>
</ul>

Does this mouthpiece require calibration before each use?

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

Do these mouthpieces reduce operational costs?

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:

<ul>
<li>Elimination of Sterilization: As individually-wrapped, disposable units, they remove the need for staff to perform time-consuming and costly sterilization procedures.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>Reduced Liability: Using single-patient disposable accessories significantly minimizes the risk and liability associated with cross-contamination between patients.</li>
<li>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.</li>
</ul>

Are the mouthpieces individually wrapped for hygiene?

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:

<ul>
<li>Contamination Control: The individual packaging and designation for single-patient use greatly reduce the risk and liability associated with cross-contamination.</li>
<li>Eliminates Sterilization: Because they are disposable, the need for time-consuming and costly in-house sterilization procedures is eliminated.</li>
<li>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.</li>
</ul>

Does pre-calibration simplify quality assurance?

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.

What accessory is needed for connection?

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:

<ul>
<li>Required Component: Pressure Tube</li>
<li>Model Number: #Z-7000-2032</li>
</ul>

What is the intended use of this mouthpiece?

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