Paper mouthpieces
Paper mouthpieces are available for basic spirometry tests (FVC, VC, and MVV). The mouthpieces should not be used for any other testing.
Antibacterial filters
The use of antibacterial filters is recommended for infection control. However, regular cleaning and decontamination of lung function equipment
should always be performed.
Note: The use of antibacterial filters is recommended even when using disposable mouthpieces to prevent cross-
contamination.
Nose clips
Nose clips should be used during spirometry testing to prevent respiration through the nasal passage while performing testing manoeuvres.
