lend your AvaLung. Your AvaLung is personal and should not be shared
without being properly disinfected between users.
People having chronic respiratory diseases may have difficulty using the
AvaLung.
INSPECtIoN AND rEtIrEMENt
Thoroughly inspect the AvaLung monthly during each season of use,
whenever you remove the AvaLung from the harness for cleaning and
whenever you suspect physical damage to the device. Inspect the Avalung
system mouthpiece and exposed tubing and self-test the device by breathing
through it before and after each use. Retire it immediately if:
There are cracks, holes, distortion or breaks of any kind in a plastic component
◆
The mesh material covering the valve housing is ripped, threadbare, or
◆
excessively worn
There is significant crushing or discoloration of any of the tubing
◆
If an AvaLung is worn but not obviously damaged, it still may be ready for
retirement. When in doubt, retire your AvaLung.
Deciding when to retire an Avalung system requires careful judgment and
a conservative approach on your part based upon your history of use of the
AvaLung (and abuse, if any). Any damage or excessive wear or tear requires
immediate retirement. Pay particular attention to the mesh filtration fabric
that covers the valve housing inside the harness. Evidence of any holes
or wear on this fabric calls for immediate retirement. The recommended
maximum lifetime of the AvaLung is five years.
Anytime you retire an AvaLung, destroy it to prevent future use.
ADoPtIoN
We strongly discourage the use of any secondhand gear. You must know the
history of your AvaLung to be able to trust it.
