Warnings And Precautions - inhealth Blom-Singer Bedienungsanleitung

With the manometer adaptor inserted into the tracheostoma
adhesive housing, which has been securely taped over the
stoma, the patient takes a breath, lightly occludes the adaptor
with a finger and counts to 15 at a normal conversational speech
loudness level. Optimal levels are designated by color markings
on the manometer: the green range indicates a pressure reading
of 10 – 25 cm H
a pressure reading of 26 – 40 cm H
chart below.) Higher levels contribute to proportionally shorter
duration of the tracheostoma adhesive housing seal.
Pressure Ranges (cm of H
10 — 25 cm H
26 — 40 cm H
41 — 120 cm H
For some patients, simply monitoring the manometer, as
they vary their loudness from softest (usually registering 10
– 15 cm H
0) to loudest (often measuring 90cm H

teaches the importance of controlling their voice loudness.
Many tracheoesophageal speakers attempt to speak too loudly
resulting in excessive intratracheal "back pressure, " deteriorating
voice quality, and shortened duration of the tracheostoma
adhesive housing seal.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

If there are tears, cracks, or structural damage, do not continue
to use the product. The manometer adaptor is disposable and
intended for single patient use only. The manometer adaptor
must not be reused by more than one patient to prevent cross
contamination.
The manometer is pre-calibrated at the factory. Tampering with
the instrument, e.g., unscrewing the housing, may result in
malfunction, inaccurate pressure readings and/or leaks of the
gauge. Tampering with the connection fittings on the manometer
adaptor may result in inaccurate pressure readings.
Caution: Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on
the order of a qualified medical professional.
