Micro/Micro Plus system overview. The Micro Medical Micro/Micro Plus Spirometer consists of a hand held microcomputer unit (2) incorporating a Micro Medical digital volume transducer (1). 1. Micro Medical Digital Volume Transducer. 2. Micro microcomputer unit. 3. Lung Function Calculator.
Micro Medical Digital Volume Transducer The Micro Medical digital volume transducer consists of an acrylic tube with a vane (3) positioned between a stator (1) and a cross bar (2). The low inertia vane is attached to a stainless steel pivot (5) which is free to rotate on two jewelled bearings (4) mounted at the centre of the stator plate and cross bar.
15 minutes. (Alcohol and chloride solutions should be avoided.) 3. After cleaning or sterilising, the transducer should be rinsed in distilled water and dried. 4. Reassemble the transducer into the Micro/Micro Plus Spirometer. Alkacide is available from Micro Medical in convenient 250ml plastic bottles (Cat No. SSC1000)

3 Remove the battery and place to one side. 4 Remove the 2 screws on the bottom moulding. 5 Turn the Micro/Micro Plus face up and ease the top moulding from the bottom and turn the top moulding over so as the unit is in two halves.
Reassembling the Micro/Micro Plus 1. Place the PCB into the bottom moulding and wire battery lead as as shown in fig 2. 2. Replace items 4, 5 and 6 (Fig1) into the bottom moulding. 3. Position top moulding on top of bottom moulding and push together (ensure that the battery leads are not trapped).
Circuit description The circuit is based on the Motorola one time programmable (OTP) microcontroller MC68HC705C9ACFN (IC1) operating at a clock frequency of 1 MHz. This processor contains 7 Kbytes of EPROM, 176 Bytes of RAM, programmable output latches, and a serial peripheral interface (SPI). The processor monitors pulses from the transducer, calculates the spirometry measurements, and directly drives the LCD display according to the position of the slide switch.

Calibration The sensitivity of the Micro Medical digital volume transducer depends only upon the fixed geometry of the stator and is inherently stable. The calibration will be unaffected by any dirt which may build up on the stator due to poor cleaning procedures.
