3.6 The expiratory kits

Examples of f ilters:

The number of possible uses is clearly indicated, kits with

single use mouthpieces are differentiated from kits with

reusable mouthpieces by the colour of the filter.

In order to avoid any inter-patient contamination, the expiratory kits are always for single patient use.

According to the medical prescription, the expiratory kit will either contain single use mouthpieces, or

reusable mouthpieces, subject to following the cleaning and disinfection instructions recommended by

PHYSIO-ASSIST. In all cases, comply with the recommendations of the referent healthcare professional.

PHYSIO-ASSIST offers two types of expiratory kits:

Expiratory kits containing single use mouthpieces, whose packaging bears the symbol , referenced TUB10_EU.

For TUB10_EU kit, the number of mouthpieces supplied is that of the number of possible uses (10

mouthpieces for 10 uses): each mouthpiece must be thrown away after use.

Expiratory kits containing multiple use mouthpieces, referenced TUB25_EU

For these kits, 3 mouthpieces are supplied: it is recommended that the mouthpiece and tube be cleaned

after use for future reuse.

In order to secure the number of permitted uses, PHYSIO-ASSIST filters are fitted with an electronic

component containing the number of permitted uses for the expiratory kit model (RFID TAG). SIMEOX

reads this value before activating: once the number of uses is depleted, SIMEOX will not operate, you

must replace the expiratory kit.
