Page 3: Introduction - English
MicroLoop Operating manual Introduction , English The MicroLoop is a mains/battery operated portable spirometer with the unique combination of ease of use and sophistication. Ease of use is assured through the use of context sensitive help screens, accessed at a touch of a button, that explain every MicroLoop feature. - Page 4 The MicroLoop uses the CareFusion Digital Volume Transducer, an extremely stable form of volume transducer, which measures expired air directly at B.T.P.S (Body Temperature and Pressure with Saturated water vapour) thus avoiding the inaccuracies of temperature corrections. The transducer is insensitive to the effects of condensation and temperature and avoids the need for individual calibration prior to performing a test.
- Page 5 When the unit is turned on for the first time the system customise menu is displayed. Touch the name of the required region with the stylus stored on the left hand side of the unit and then touch ‘Finish’. This will set the regional defaults including language, if available.

Page 6: Overview
Overview The MicroLoop uses a touch screen with icons representing each function available. A stylus, housed in the left hand side of the unit, is provided for icon screen activation and an optional mouse is available. Touch the displayed time to adjust time and date. -
Page 7: Getting Started
Getting Started When performing a spirometry test the recommended workflow is to enter the patient’s details, or retrieve them from memory, perform the required test and then print and save the results. Please ensure that the turbine transducer is plugged in to either of the first two sockets on the right hand side of the instrument. - Page 8 Touch the ‘Patients’ icon to enter the patient database. The required patient may be selected from the stored patient list. If the patient details have not been previously stored then touch Add to enter the new patient’s details. The patient details may also be downloaded from the optional SPCS software.

Page 12: Calibration Check
Calibration Check Connect litre syringe transducer with the adapter supplied and empty by pushing the handle fully in. Select ‘Calibration Check’ from the main menu and then select ‘check Calibration’. Fill the syringe by pulling the handle at a constant rate until the end stop is... - Page 13 The calibration error for expiration and inspiration each flow rate displayed. The calibration error should be less that 3%. If a greater error is shown, repeat the procedure ensuring that the syringe is emptied and filled in a smooth manner without jerking handle.

Page 14: Customisation
Customisation The ‘Customise’ option from the main menu may be used to configure many of the features of your MicroLoop and are divided into system and spirometry options. System options allow you to configure the following: Language. Height and weight units. Date format. -
Page 15: Administration Mode
Administration Mode Administration mode allows administrator to restrict the availability of functions to the user by disabling icons on the main menu. For example, after the unit has been configured to administrator’s requirements, disabling of the ‘Customise’ icon will prevent any further adjustment by the user. -
Page 16: Printing
Printing Using the cables provided connect the mini USB A/B socket on the back of MicroLoop cradle to the input socket on the printer. For a list of compatible printers refer to the web site or contact your local dealer It is recommended that during printing the batteries are placed on charge with the cradle connected to the mains adapter. - Page 17 Using SPCS and the MicroLoop, live blows can be performed with the PC directly controlling the operation of the MicroLoop. The results and graphs produced are displayed directly on the PC screen. The spirometer is connected from the serial or USB port on the PC, to the USB port on the cradle using the USB cable provided with SPCS.

Page 18: Cleaning The Transducer
Cleaning the Transducer The transducer requires no routine maintenance or servicing. However, if you wish to disinfect or clean the transducer it may be removed by means of the following procedure: 1. Rotating the turbine transducer anti:clockwise until the locating pip lines up with the small rectangular cut:out in the housing as shown below. -
Page 19: Servicing
Servicing There is no routine maintenance required for the MicroLoop and there are no user serviceable parts in this instrument. Please return the unit to CareFusion or an authorised agent if servicing is required. Troubleshooting In the unlikely event that the display ‘freezes’ and the unit does not respond to any key presses, hold the on/off button down for 10 seconds until the unit switches off and then turn on again. -
