Does the Alpha require cleaning?
Where a new BVF is used for each subject, only the flowhead surface which comes into contact with subjects being tested should require low level cleaning. For cleaning instructions refer to our Alpha Cleaning Instructions.
How do I decontaminate the Alpha flowhead?
The interior of a flowhead does not require decontamination where a new BVF is used for each subject. However, if there is a possibility of contamination, it is possible to decontaminate the flowhead following our Alpha Cleaning Instructions.
Do I need to perform calibration verification of the Alpha every day?
You have the ability to perform a simple calibration verification routine prior to undertaking testing, in accordance with international spirometry standards and guidelines (ATS/ERS).
