MIR accepts no responsibility for any loss or damage caused by the user of the device due to instructions contained in this Manual and/or due to incorrect use of the product.
no Intended use The Spirobank II spirometer and pulse oximeter is intended to be used by a physician, by a licensed healthcare professional or by a patient under the instruction of a physician or of a licensed healthcare professional.
Important safety warnings Spirobank II has been examined by an independent laboratory which has certified the compliance of the device to the European Safety Standards EN 60601-1 and guarantees the EMC Requirements within the limits laid down in the European Standard EN 60601- 1-2.
Reusable hard finger sensor (adults) 919020 These sensors, with the exception of the sensor MIR code 919020 which has the MIR connector with orange arrow, require the use of an extension cable for a proper connection to Spirobank II. Two cable lengths are available: •...
Do not use cables that appear to be or are damaged. If a new cable is required, contact your local distributor. Use only cables supplied by MIR, specifically designed to be used with Spirobank II. The use of other types of cables can lead to inaccurate measurements.
Keep these devices at a minimum distance of 30 centimeters. If it is necessary to use it at shorter distances, Spirobank II and the other devices must be kept under observation to verify that they work normally.

Spirobank II User manual A damaged or deformed battery pack may cause internal short-circuits thus creating the possibility for acid leakage, overheating, smoke, breakage and/or fire. Do not use a heavily scratched or deformed battery back as this may be cause for acid leakage, overheating, smoke, breakage and/or fire.
1.4.2 FDA and FCC Warnings Spirobank II complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. The correct operation is subject to the following conditions: (1) this device must not cause harmful interference (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Product description The Spirobank II is a pocket spirometer, with an optional pulse oximetry module. It can operate either in stand-alone mode or it can be connected to a PC or to a printer using any one of several methods: USB, Bluetooth.

10.000 spirometry tests or at least 900 hours of oximetry monitoring. Spirobank II is a powerful and compact measurement device, intended for use by a respiratory specialist or by a suitably trained general practitioner. The spirometer calculates up to 30 functional respiratory parameters providing the pharmacodynamic effects, i.e. the data comparison after the administration of a drug (PRE/POST) for a bronchodilator test or for a bronchial challenge test.
Spirobank II User manual This measurement principle ensures accuracy and reproducibility, without requiring regular calibration. The oximetry sensor can be disinfected with isopropilic alcohol. Technical specification A comprehensive description of the main features of the device, the flow and volume measurement turbine and also of the oximetry sensor follows: 1.6.1...

Oximetry alarms description Spirobank II is equipped with audio and visual alarm indicators to alert the operator to provide prompt patient attention or to abnormal device conditions. Spirobank II detects both patient and equipment alarms. Both, patient alarms and equipment alarms are identified medium priority as defined in IEC 60601-1-8 standard.
MIR will make available on request circuit diagrams, component part lists, descriptions, calibration instructions, or other information that will assist service personnel to repair those part of the device that are designated by MIR as repairable by service personnel. FUNCTIONING OF THE Spirobank II...
User manual Spirobank II does not switch off completely but goes in stand by status with a very low power consumption. Some functions are ready and the device updates date and hour or to switch on the device using other remote controllers when required. For this the symbol in use is corresponding to the stand by status.

Spirobank II User manual required to access this option;insert the following password starting from left to right: The item “factory defaults” erases the previous calibration values and restores the two percentage corrections to zero percent correction factor; in this case a password is required as explained above.
Make three manoeuvres with a syringe as described by the screen on the device, then Spirobank II calculates the FVC and FIVC values. Press The screen requires to insert the volume of the syringe in use; Spirobank II so calculates the correction percentage between the reference and the calculated value.
BTPS values are thus calculated. If a 3L syringe is used to make the calibration and if the Spirobank II is calibrated correctly then the FVC (syringe) value will 3.00 (FVC) x 1.026 (BTPS) = 3.08 L (FVC at BTPS).

• Place the noseclips on the nose so as not to let any air out of the patient’s nostrils. • Hold the Spirobank II with both hands or grasp it like a mobile phone. The display must always face the patient taking the test.
To end the test press During the test the Spirobank II emits "beeps", the frequency of which are directly proportional to the inspired and expired velocity of the air. This helps the doctor understand when the velocity of the air is approaching zero, and the patient has almost exhausted all of the inspired or expired volume.
Through the use of a mathematical analysis applied to certain indices and parameters calculated in the FVC test , the Spirobank II is capable of producing a list of quality control comments useful to assess the quality and reproducibility of the manouvers performed.
F= No acceptable FEV1 manoeuvres An acceptable manoeuvre means: good start and satisfactory exhalation (duration and flow) Several comments related to the single test are calculated, however Spirobank II will only point out the most relevant to facilitate the test interpretation.

The first few seconds are used to find the best signal possible; after which the Spirobank II timer resets itself and the device starts recording data.
WARNING The oximetry sensor used in the manual is only one of the different types of sensors which can be used with Spirobank II listed in paragraph 1.2.4. MIR does not recommend any one particular sensor, the decision is left to the doctor who will choose the sensor which she/he believes to be more suitable.
Spirobank II can be connected as a “device” to another product which performs the “master” function. It is possible to connect Spirobank II to a PC or mobile phone and with application the two devices can operate together. The connection uses the SPP protocol (Serial Porto Profile).
Cleaning and checking the reusable turbine Two types of turbines can be used with Spirobank II. The disposable turbine or the reusable turbine. Both guarantee precise measurements and have the advantage of requiring no periodic calibration. In order to maintain the default characteristics of the reusable turbine a simple cleaning procedure is required before use.
The sensor included with the Spirobank II is made with latex free material. Battery charging Turn on Spirobank II and the following icon will appear on the main screen showing the charge level of the battery pack: The maximum charge level is displayed with all 6 bars inside the battery.
