Product Overview

The Hudson RCI® Voldyne® 2500 Volumetric Exerciser is designed as an inspiratory deep breathing exerciser for adult and pediatric patients (aged 5 years and older). It is intended for single-patient, multi-use in hospital or home care settings.

Indications for Use: For deep breathing exercises.

Warnings:

• Rx ONLY: Prescription required.
• Single Patient Use Only: Do not use on multiple patients to prevent the risk of serious injury, infection, or death. Reprocessing may degrade performance.
• Non-Sterile: Not made with natural rubber latex.

Usage Instructions

Follow these steps for using the Voldyne 2500 Volumetric Exerciser:

1. Step 1: Prepare the Device. Remove components from the package. Expand the tubing to its full length and attach the open end of the tubing to the stem on the front of the exerciser.

2. Step 2: Set the Target Volume. Slide the green pointer on the volume indicator to the prescribed volume level.

3. Step 3: Position and Breathe Out. Hold or stand the exerciser in an upright position. Exhale normally. Place your lips tightly around the mouthpiece.

4. Step 4: Inhale Slowly. Inhale slowly and steadily to raise the piston in the chamber. While inhaling, keep the green flow indicator aligned with the smiley face flow range. Continue inhaling until you reach the prescribed volume level (the top of the piston indicates the inspired volume).

5. Step 5: Complete and Repeat. When inhalation is complete, remove the mouthpiece. Hold your breath as prescribed, then exhale normally. Allow the piston to return to the bottom of the chamber. Rest and repeat the exercises as directed. The frequency of use and recommended inspiratory volumes should be determined by a physician or therapist.

Cleaning Instructions

Proper cleaning ensures the device's functionality and safety for single-patient use.

• Remove the mouthpiece from the expandable tubing.
• Prepare a cleaning solution: Dilute 1 mL of liquid Dawn® dishwashing detergent into 1 liter of warm tap water in a clean tub or bowl.
• Immerse the mouthpiece in the soapy solution and soak for approximately 5 minutes.
• While the mouthpiece is immersed, wipe its interior and exterior with a non-linting wipe for at least 30 seconds.
• Rinse the mouthpiece under warm running tap water for a minimum of 1 minute, or until all soap residue is removed.
• Dry the mouthpiece thoroughly using non-linting wipes.
• Visually inspect the mouthpiece to ensure it is clean. Repeat cleaning steps if any soil is present.
• Reconnect the mouthpiece to the expandable tubing.
• Caution/Warning: After cleaning, visually inspect the corrugated tubing to ensure it is clean.

Patient Progress Chart

The Patient Progress Chart (Gráfico de Progreso del Paciente) is used to track Sustained Maximal Inspiration (Inspiración Máxima Sostenida) over several days.

The chart features a grid with 'DAY / DÍA' on the horizontal axis (Days 1 through 7) and 'VOLUME ATTAINED / VOLUMEN OBTENIDO' on the vertical axis (ranging from 250ml to 2500ml). A 'GOAL META' marker indicates the target volume. Fields are provided for 'Patient/Paciente', 'Authorized Signature / Firma autorizada', and 'Room/Habitación'.
