GE spirometry tubes: 884101 (3 m) and 890031 (2 m, ICU)
Single-use GE spirometry tubes: 884101 (3 m) and 890031 (2 m, for the ICU) — how to choose the length, rules of use, common mistakes and replacement.
Single-use spirometry tubes 884101 (3 m) and 890031 (2 m, ICU) for GE
Measuring respiratory volume and flow is an important part of assessing pulmonary function and controlling ventilation. Single-use tubes are used to connect the spirometer or respiratory monitor to the patient's flow.
This guide looks at spirometry tubes 884101 (3 m) and 890031 (2 m, for the intensive care unit) from the Medicaparts catalogue.
1. Why a spirometry tube is needed
The tube carries the respiratory flow to the sensor/spirometer, making it possible to measure:
- •tidal volume (Vt);
- •flow and volume-related values;
- •spirometry parameters for functional diagnostics.
Single-use design:
- •eliminates cross-infection between patients;
- •provides hygiene for the procedure;
- •simplifies logistics — no sterilisation required.
2. The items in detail
2.1. 884101 — single-use spirometry tube, 3 m
PN: 884101
- •Single-use spirometry tube, 3 m long.
- •Area of use — anaesthesiology, functional diagnostics, breathing circuit.
- •The greater length is convenient when the equipment is placed at a distance.
2.2. 890031 — single-use spirometry tube, 2 m, ICU
PN: 890031
- •Single-use spirometry tube, 2 m long.
- •Used in the intensive care unit (ventilator).
- •Compact length — less air gap, convenient at the patient's bedside.
3. How to choose the tube length
- •Distance from the measurement point to the spirometer/monitor.
- •Layout of the breathing circuit and the position of the equipment.
- •The task — a long tube (884101, 3 m) for a flexible layout, a short one (890031, 2 m) for compact placement at the ICU bed.
When choosing, follow the manual for your equipment and the department protocol.
4. Technical specifications (typical)
| PN | Length | Application | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| 884101 | 3 m | spirometry | single-use |
| 890031 | 2 m | intensive care unit | single-use |
5. Rules of use
- •Use a new tube for every procedure/patient.
- •Check the integrity and tightness of the connections.
- •Do not kink the tube, to avoid distorting the flow.
- •Dispose of it after a single use, in line with protocol.
6. Common mistakes
- •Reusing a single-use tube. Risk of infection and of inaccuracy.
- •The wrong length. An awkward layout and unnecessary air gap.
- •Kinking the tube. Distorts the flow measurement.
- •A loose connection. Air leak and measurement error.
