To use the VisuBreath breath visualizer, the following steps should be taken:

a) Ensure hands are clean and dry before handling the sticker. Gloves are recommended when handling the sticker.

b) Tear open the pouch using the notch mark and remove the VisuBreath sticker.

c) Remove the adhesive backing and place the VisuBreath on a surface where the patient's breath will pass over the device and the color can easily be seen by the health care provider. Recommended placements are on the inside of a clear oxygen face mask or CPAP mask.

d) Once the sticker is placed, the health care provider is to confirm that a color change is visible with the patient’s breathing.

e) The sticker can then be used for up to 24 hours and safely viewed from a minimum distance of 6 feet.

f) The sticker can be removed and disposed separately from or in conjunction with a disposable apparatus/component (i.e. single use oxygen mask, etc.).
