The spirometers from the product group MIR043 are marketed under the label new spirotel. This manual has been written for technicians involved in the service of the new spirotel. Service can be carried out by the service organization of the manufacturer or by any other technician authorized by MIR srl.
Product documentation 1.2.3. The documentation set for the new spirotel includes a User Manual. The User Manual is a recommended item for all service engineers. The user manual is available in the following languages: ...
the slow Vital Capacity test (VC/IVC) the Maximum Voluntary Ventilation test (MVV) New spirotel has been designed and manufactured to ensure the highest level of safety and the unit fully complies with the stringent international EN 60601-1 and EN 60601-1-2 standards.
Japanese MHLW Ministerial Ordinance 169: 2004 2. HARDWARE DESCRIPTION Because of the modular design of the new spirotel, the description is on a block diagram level. 2.1. MAINBOARD MODULE The mainboard module translates the input signal from the turbine flowmeter into spirometry values and compares them with the predicted values calculated with the parameters age, sex, height, weight and ethnic group.
The connector beside the USB ports is used to connect the oximetry sensor, where this function is enabled on the device. Many sensors can be used on new spirotel based on the type of test to be performed and on the patient characteristics.
2.3. TURBINE FLOWMETER The sensor for measuring flow and volume is similar to the model already used in other spirometers produced by MIR (Series MIR 020 rev 5 Mod. Spirobank II, MIR024_REV2 Mod. Spirobank G USB). The turbine flowmeter consists of one mechanical and two electrical parts:...
For cleaning of the new spirotel and the accessories please see the User Manual. 3.2. TEST EQUIPMENT For the repair and maintenance procedures of the new spirotel the following test equipment and accessories are required: Complete set of precision engineering tools (including 2.5 mm allen key and cross-screwdriver) Calibration syringe (3L is recommended) Case opener Digital multimeter, at least 3½...
Self test 3.3.1.1. Switch on the equipment. new spirotel will carry out the so-called self-test for approx 3 seconds. It is assumed that when the self-test is passed all functions of new spirotel are okay. Any severe malfunction (if any) will be reported on the display.
Opening the device 4.2.1. To open new spirotel: 1. Switch off the device and make sure that the turbine housing is removed from the main body of the device. 2. Place the device on a flat surface with bottom part face-up 3.

PCBs and components Removing and replacing the turbine sensor strip 4.3.1. Open new spirotel as described in 4.2.1. With the device face down, locate where the sensor strip is connected to the PCB. Using a screwdriver or case opener, carefully pry the clear plastic clip from the centre underneath.
Removing and replacing the display 4.3.2. Open new spirotel as described in Paragraph 4.2.1; once the PCB is separated from the sensor strip (as described in 4.3.1, and removed from the yellow casing, unclip the flat cable and remove the display.
Page 15
Removing and replacing the internal battery pack 4.3.4. Open new spirotel as described in Paragraph 4.2.1 up to point 3. Remove the battery pack, only after the device is switched off, by withdrawing the connector using a screwdriver or a tweezers.
Page 16
Use only the battery charger supplied by MIR to recharge the battery pack. Recharging with an unsuitable charger in nonconforming conditions may cause the battery pack to overcharge or the charging current to be extremely high thus causing abnormal chemical reactions in the battery pack triggering acid leakage, overheating, smoke breakage an explosion and/or fire.

Turn on new spirotel and setup the device to perform a spirometry test (for example FVC). Hold the new spirotel with one hand and move it slowly sideways, having the air pass through the turbine. If the rotor spins properly the device will emit a series of acoustic signals “beeps”. The beeping frequency is a function of the air flow passing through the turbine.
Page 18
To clean the reusable turbine, first remove it by pulling it gently from the new spirotel turning it anti-clockwise and pressing lightly. It can be helpful to push it gently from underneath with one finger from the bottom of the turbine to lift it out of its housing.

.tsk file and then click on Next. From the “Select file .tsk” search window select the firmware of your device; click on the new spirotel folder and then on the selected file to automatically launch the upgrading procedure of the internal software of the spirometer.
Open the device as described in point 4.2.1 up to point 6. Beneath the Bluetooth module, the oximetery module is connected directly to the PCB. Remove the oximetry module by hand, gripping the sides and pulling directly away from the board. CAUTION The module is attached to the PCB so it must be removed gently.

Spirotel ® Service Guide Testing procedures for devices without oximeter 4.5.2. The following checks must be carried out on each device: Table 4 TESTS ON PCB MIR043 WITHOUT OXIMETER Test Procedure Test method Instrument Expected result Check correct procedure described in point 4.3.2...
The required data is mentioned in Appendix A. For the current parts list please refer to the spare parts price list which is published every year. MIR only supplies parts mentioned in Appendix A. Standard parts such as screws, nuts, cleaning agents and so on are not supplied by MIR, these parts must be purchased locally.
6. TROUBLESHOOTING Note Where not indicated, voltages are measured versus the ground (i.e. the negative pole of the battery pack). Where not indicated, voltages are measured while the unit is switched on. Where not indicated, the values to be measured can vary by about 2%. WARNING Be careful not to short-circuit any contacts while measuring voltages.
