The Carefusion 1900 AirLife Incentive Spirometer is a single-patient-use respiratory device designed to encourage sustained maximal inspiration and improve lung function. With a large-volume capacity of 4000 mL, this spirometer provides visual guidance to help patients perform deep-breathing exercises critical to post-surgical recovery and long-term respiratory care.
Its clear chamber, graduated markings, and goal indicator make it easy to monitor progress and ensure patient compliance in both clinical and home settings.
Key Benefits

High Volume Capacity: 4000 mL capability supports a wide range of patient respiratory capacities, from pediatrics to adults recovering from surgery.
Flexible Tubing and Mouthpiece: Includes 12-inch corrugated tubing with a mouthpiece holder for added convenience during and between uses.
Comfort-Focused Design: Ergonomically shaped, compact, and lightweight for bedside or at-home use.
Latex-Free and Safe: Made without natural rubber latex, ideal for sensitive patient populations.
Compatibility and Applications
This spirometer is compatible with most clinical respiratory rehabilitation protocols and is widely used in:
Postoperative Recovery: Helps reduce risks of lung complications such as atelectasis and pneumonia after abdominal or thoracic surgery.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation: Supports breathing exercises in patients with conditions like COPD or restrictive lung disease.
Home Respiratory Therapy: Easy enough for patients to use independently at home under caregiver guidance.
Usage Guidelines
Have the patient sit upright and hold the spirometer at eye level.
Instruct the patient to exhale normally, place the mouthpiece securely between their lips, and then inhale slowly and deeply to raise the volume indicator.
Ask the patient to hold their breath for 3 to 5 seconds at the peak of inspiration.
Recommend repeating this exercise 10 times per session or as prescribed by the physician.
Return the spirometer to a clean area after each use.
