Spirometry Filters are used in pulmonary function laboratories for trapping bacteria and viruses, ensuring prevention of any cross-contamination.
What is Spirometry Filter?
Spirometry?filter is also known as antibacterial respiratory filter, its structure is mainly composed of external hard shell and internal fiber filter media, function for the lung function test to block the patient's exhaled bacteria, viruses and other pathogenic microorganisms.?Therefore, its design mainly considers two factors: on the one hand, the filter efficiency, depends on the middle of the filter medium;?On the other hand, the influence of filter on lung function detection, among which the influence on airflow velocity and airflow resistance also depends on the filter medium in the middle, and the influence on capacity depends on the size and character of the shell.

Why use Spirometry Filters
They are also designed to stop moisture droplets passing to and from the spirometer.
Spirometry Filters protects both patient and spirometer from cross contamination
Should be used when an inspiratory manoeuvre is performed or when testing patients who pose a health risk to others.

9 Steps of Using spirometer
1,Sit upright in a chair or in bed. Hold the incentive spirometer at eye level.
2,Put the mouthpiece in your mouth and close your lips tightly around it. Slowly breathe out (exhale) completely.
3,Breathe in (inhale) slowly through your mouth as deeply as you can. As you take the breath, you will see the piston rise inside the large column.
4,Try to get the piston as high as you can, while keeping the indicator between the arrows.
5,When you get it as high as you can, hold your breath for 10 seconds, or as long as possible. While you’re holding your breath, the piston will slowly fall to the base of the spirometer.
6,Once the piston reaches the bottom of the spirometer, breathe out slowly through your mouth. Rest for a few seconds.
7,Repeat 10 times. Try to get the piston to the same level with each breath.
8,After each set of 10 breaths, try to cough, holding a pillow over your incision, as needed. Coughing will help loosen or clear any mucus in your lungs.
9,Put the marker at the level the piston reached on your incentive spirometer. This will be your goal next time.
