MIP-MEP/SNIFF module user’s manual 1. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND INSTALLATION 1.1. INTRODUCTION The DATOSPIR TOUCH Spirometer includes an optional module to measure Maximal Respiratory Pressures (Maximal Inspiratory Pressure - Maximal Expiratory Pressure, MIP-MEP). This manual is an addendum to the manual of the Spirometer DATOSPIR TOUCH, dedicated exclusively to the operation of this module, and it is designed for use alongside the general manual.

MIP-MEP/SNIFF module user’s manual 2.3 CONTROL Number of maneuvers: Up to 8 maneuvers for each type can be performed (MEP and MIP) Duration of the maneuvers: The maximum duration is 8 seconds. Start of Maneuver: When the threshold of 2,95 hPa (±3 is surpassed.
MIP-MEP/SNIFF module user’s manual Start and end of the maneuver The start of a maneuver is considered when the level of 2,95 hPa (3 cmH is surpassed. The end of the maneuver is considered when there is a pressure variation lower than 1 hPa (1 cmH ...

MIP-MEP/SNIFF module user’s manual Correct collaboration of the patient to get a maximum effort in the maneuvers. The patient must keep his/her hands against the cheeks and leave them flaccid to attenuate the pressure generated by the facial muscles. To measure the MIP, the patient must perform a deep inspiration from the position of Residual Volume and maintain the effort for at least 3 seconds.

MIP-MEP/SNIFF module user’s manual To do so, proceed as follows: Disassemble the parts of the shutter probe or sniff probe Immerse each part in a CIDEX® OPA solution (follow the manufacturer’s instructions). Take care that the internal surfaces of all the parts get in contact with the solution, including the interior of the sniff probe and of the measuring tube line.
