Fitting a Mouthpiece
Using the standard Lion 400 mouthpiece, remove the cellophane
wrapping to expose the sample port extrusion, taking care not to
handle the end of the mouthpiece where the subject will provide
their sample. Fitting a mouthpiece is done by placing it between
the retention features at the top of the instrument: lining the port
extrusion up with the sampling port at the top of the instrument
and pushing the mouthpiece down firmly until it clicks into place.
The mouthpiece can be placed so that the subject can blow from
either the left or right hand side in normal use.
A NEW mouthpiece MUST be used for each complete
breath test: but it NEED NOT be changed for repeated
blows by the same subject in the same procedure
Fitting a Cup
Using the standard Lion 400 cup, place the spigot of the cup into
the sampling port at the top of the instrument and push it firmly
home. The cup will fit securely. Lion advise that the cup is changed
for each test to remove the likelihood of residual contamination.
Calibration Check (Wet or Dry)
To carry out the calibration check, supply a standard vapour sample
to the instrument through a mouthpiece and after at least 5
seconds, press the “C” button to activate the sampling routine.
Once the system has analysed the sample it will display the result.
