    PC or to a printer using any one of several available methods: USB, Bluetooth. spirobank G is specifically designed to measure a range of respiratory parameters. A quality control check is carried out internally on the measured parameters and the device has an internal memory sufficient for over 6000 spirometry tests.
  • Page 14 The personal best values can vary considerably from the predicted values, which are taken from “healthy” subjects. spirobank G can also be connected to a PC (or to another computerised system) to configure the system. All spirometric test results plus the related subject details stored inside the device can be transferred from the device to the PC and then viewed on the PC (Flow/volume curves, spirometry parameters).

    If the difference in percentage between the expected value and the measured value is greater than 10% then it is not possible to continue the calibration procedure, this means that the turbine is damaged or requires cleaning. User Manual cod. 980026 Rev 2.0 Page 23 of 46 spirobank G...
  • Page 24 The correction of the inspired volumes and flows is made automatically as the machine has an internal temperature sensor; the BTPS values are thus calculated. If a 3L syringe is used to make the calibration and if the spirobank G is calibrated correctly then the FVC (syringe) value will be: 3.00 (FVC) x 1.026 (BTPS) = 3.08 L (FVC at BTPS).

  • Page 45 To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the spirobank G is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the spirobank G should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the spirobank b) Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than [3] V/m.
  • Page 46 RF communications equipment and the spirobank G The spirobank G is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the spirobank G can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the spirobank G as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
