Remember
It is important to adhere to the following specified conditions:
• Ambient temperature: +10°C to +35°C
• Humidity: 20% to 80% RH (non-condensing)
• Mobile phones, cordless phones and gas emitting appliances might
interfere with the instrument and should therefore be kept away from
the instrument. Interference could make it impossible to perform a
measurement.
• Exhaled breath contains water vapour which can condense inside
the instrument. When excessively used in a short period, there is a
risk for condensation of water inside NIOX VERO®.
Normally a maximum of 10 exhalations/hour can be performed with
NIOX VERO® during continuous use. However, it is possible to
perform 20 exhalations in one hour if the instrument is paused for a
minimum of 30 minutes prior to the next session of exhalations.
Exhalations include failed and successful measurements.
• Avoid spilling water or other fluids on the instrument or sensor.
• Always use a closed case or bag (NIOX VERO®
bag recommended)
for transportation and storage of NIOX VERO®.
• It is recommended, after inserting a new sensor, to wait for three
hours with the instrument switched on before performing a
measurement.
• Operational life-time for NIOX VERO® Instrument: Maximum 5 years
in use or 15 000 measurements or the expiration date stated on the
device, whichever comes first.
5 years in use shall be defined as starting from the first NO
measurement taken using the device.
• Operational life-time for NIOX VERO®
Sensor: Maximum 12 months
after opening package and installed in NIOX VERO®
or expiration
date as stated on the sensor, whichever comes first.
WARNING!
Use of substances containing alcohol close to the NIOX VERO®
instrument may cause erroneous measurement results.
DO NOT clean the instrument or handle with alcohol or any spray
or wipe containing alcohol!
Do not use substances containing alcohol on or close to the
NIOX VERO® instrument. This includes any cleaning agents used to
clean the facility, or other equipment in the area, as well as alcohol
wipes or sprays used on patients.
CAUTION!: Do not use NIOX VERO® in the proximity of areas where
volatile substances such as organic fluids or disinfectants are being used.
Special attention should be paid to aerosols and disinfection baths, either
open vessels or ultrasonic baths.
