INTRODUCTION The spirometers series MIR009 are sold with the SpirolabIII trademark. SpirolabIII is available with two different displays: • Colour LCD display • B/W LCD display Unless otherwise specified, from this point onwards the term SpirolabIII is used to refer to both models. GENERAL INFORMATION NTENDED USE 1.1.1...
" & MPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS SpirolabIII has been examined by an independent laboratory which has certified the conformity of the device to the European Safety Standards EN 601-1 and guarantees the EMC Requirements within the limits laid down in the European Standard EN 60601-1-2 SpirolabIII is constantly controlled during its production, therefore the product confirms to the established security levels and quality standards laid down by the Council Directive 93/42/CEE for medical devices.

• • • • • • • • & " & & < & 1.2.1 Danger of cross-contamination Two different types of turbine sensors can be used with the device, one is reusable and one is single-patient disposable. A mouthpiece is required in order to connect a subject to the spirometer. In order to avoid exposing the subject to the critical danger of cross-contamination, the reusable flow sensor must always be cleaned before each spirometry test, and always use a new disposable mouthpiece for each subject.

Do not allow dust or foreign bodies to enter the turbine sensor, in order to avoid incorrect functioning and possible damage. The presence of any impurities such as hair, sputum, threads etc. within the body of the turbine sensor may seriously compromise the accuracy of the measurements.
SpirolabIII > PROBLEMS AND UNFORSEEN ERRORS In case of a problem, one of a series of messages will appear on the screen together with an acoustic signal to indicate the nature of the problem. Operation of the device beyond its declared life could provoke a loss of data in the memory of the device (SRAM memory).

Each test can be repeated as required. The best parameters are always available for quick viewing or printing. The normal (predicted) values can be selected from five different authors. In general, within the European Union the ERS (European Respiratory Society) predicted values are used. The device also calculates the response to drug administration, i.e., the percentage change between spirometry results obtained before and after the subject takes a drug) and the results of a bronchial challenge test or a bronchodilation test.

LEANING THE REUSABLE TURBINE The turbine utilized with SpirolabIII is of one of two categories: disposable or reusable. These guarantee precise measurements and have the advantage of requiring no periodic calibration. In order to maintain these characteristics, a simple cleaning is required prior to each use (only for the reusable turbine). This operation also ensures perfect hygiene and thus the highest possible safety conditions for patients.
Page 39
4.2.1 Recommended products for cleaning the reusable turbine Tests made on the cleaning of the turbine with various products have demonstrated that the best product in commerce which does not harm the material of the reusable turbine is: PERA safe After 100 immersions lasting 10 minutes each at an interval of 15 seconds, PERA safe did not cause any harm to the turbine.
PROBLEMS/CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS The device does not switch on Press firmly on the on key. The internal battery may be discharged. Make sure that the power supply cable of the charging unit is connected to the spirometer and that the plug is inserted correctly into the mains outlet, then proceed with charging.
If units are to be returned to the manufacturer then written or verbal permission must be received before any instruments are returned to MIR. MIR - Medical International Research reserves the right to modify the instrument if required, and a description of any modification made will be sent along with the returned goods.
