Connection to PC WARNING Before connecting MiniSpir to a PC, the winspiroPro software must be installed on the PC in order to interface it with the device. To make the connection, attach the other connector to the USB port of the PC.
• Fit the nose clip onto the nose of the subject to ensure that air cannot escape through the nostrils. • Hold MiniSpir in one hand as you would a cell phone. The side with the ID label should be in the hand of the user.
During the first few seconds of the test the device searches for the best signal, after which the timer re-sets to zero and MiniSpir starts to memorise the data.
All data in the MiniSpir is transferred through a USB cable connection. Refer to Paragraph 2.1 of this Manual to connect the device to a PC. The data measured by MiniSpir during a spirometry test are sent to the PC in digital form and managed by the winspiroPro software.
Any such deposit could brake or block the rotation of the turbine blade and thus compromise the measurement accuracy. To clean the reusable turbine, remove it from its compartment on the MiniSpir by turning it anti-clockwise and pressing lightly. It can be helpful to push it gently from underneath with one finger.
