WARNING:
The CardioPerfect family of devices is an integral part of a personal
computer based diagnostic system. The user shall adhere to warnings in
order to ensure safe and reliable performance of the system.
The personal computer (non-medical electrical equipment) shall be situated
outside the patient environment (reference IEC 60601-1-1).
The personal computer used should adhere to the appropriate safety standard for
non-medical electrical equipment (IEC 60950, or its national variants), and use of
an isolation transformer is recommended.
The personal computer used should adhere to the appropriate electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) standard for non-medical electrical equipment (CISPR 22/24 -
FCC Part 15 - CE, or related national variants).
If it is required for the personal computer to be situated within the patient
environment, it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the system provides
a level of safety in compliance with IEC 60601-1.
WARNING A color printer and a color printout are recommended for printing
Spirometry reports. Printing these reports with a monochrome printer or in black
and white can lead to confusion as it is not easy to identify which curve is a Pre
and which is a Post effort.
CAUTION Do not clean the pressure tubing or sensor. Trapped moisture could
affect their accuracy. Replace the pressure tubing when it becomes dirty. Replace
the sensor when it becomes faulty.
CAUTION You cannot clean the spirometer or any of its components.
CAUTION If you choose to clean the calibrations syringe, clean the outer surface
of the syringe with only the following solutions or wipes:
 Solution of dish soap and water, ½ tsp per cup of water
 Solution of bleach and water, 1 part bleach (6% sodium hypochlorite) with
9 parts water
 Isopropyl Alcohol and water, 70% by volume
 PDI Sani-Cloth Plus wipes (14.85% Isopropanol)
 Cavi-Wipes (17.2% Isopropanol)
CAUTION Use only parts and accessories supplied with the device and available
through Welch Allyn. The use of accessories other than those specified my result
in degraded performance of the device.
CAUTION When you put the spirometer away, store its pressure tubing in a
basket or drawer or other place that prevents compression or kinking.
CAUTION Avoid installing the spirometer in direct sunlight or in a location where it
may be affected by significant changes in humidity, ventilation, or airborne
particles containing dust, salt or sulfur.
CAUTION Keep the spirometer away from splashing fluids.
CAUTION Do not over tighten the rotor when assembling the Viasys VCT400
Spirometer. This can lead to inaccurate registration of low volume rates.
