Hello Doctor,
I am planning to do a Pulmonary Function Test (PFT/spirometry) in a Government Hospital. I noticed that they may not use disposable spirometry filters and instead use a reusable mouthpiece/tube.
I want to know:
Can I buy my own single-use spirometry filter from a medical store or online?
Will it fit most spirometry machines?
Is it generally allowed to carry and use my own filter during the test in a Government Hospital?
Has anyone done this before?
Will using my own filter affect the accuracy of the test?
I am mainly concerned about hygiene and infection safety.
Thank you
