USB Connection Cable
Incorrect use or application of the USB cable may produce inaccurate measurements, which will show very inaccurate values of
the patient’s condition. Carefully inspect each cable before use.
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
MiniSpir Light
. The use of other types of cables can lead
to inaccurate measurements.
1.2.4
Device
WARNING
The maintenance operations detailed in this manual must be carried out to the letter. If these instructions are not followed
this can cause measurement errors and/or an incorrect test interpretation.
Any modifications, adjustments, repairs or reconfiguration must be made by the manufacturer or by personnel
authorised by the manufacturer. In case of problems, never attempt to make a repair oneself. The set-up of configurable
parameters should only be made by qualified personnel. However, an incorrect set up of the parameters does not put
the patient at risk.
If the PC connected to MiniSpir Light is used in the area containing the patient, it is necessary that the PC complies with
the EN 60601-1 Standard (ref. EN 60601-1-1 Standard).
For the disposal of the MiniSpir Light, the accessories, plastic consumable materials (mouthpieces), use only the
appropriate containers or return all such parts to the seller of the instrument or to a recycling center. All applicable local
regulations must be followed.
If any of these rules are not followed then MIR will decline all responsibility for any direct or indirect damages, however
caused.
1.2.5
Warnings for use in electromagnetic environments
Due to the increasing number of electronic devices (computers, cordless phones, cell phones, etc.) medical devices may
be subject to electromagnetic interference caused by other equipment.
Such electromagnetic interference could cause the medical device to malfunction, such as a lower measurement
accuracy than stated, and create a potentially dangerous situation.
MiniSpir Light complies with the EN 60601-1-2:2015 standard on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC for electromedical
devices) both in terms of immunity and emissions.
For the correct operation of the device, however, it is necessary not to use MiniSpir Light near other devices (computers,
cordless phones, cell phones, etc.) that generate strong magnetic fields. Keep these devices at a minimum distance of
30 centimeters. If it is necessary to use it at shorter distances, MiniSpir Light and the other devices must be kept under
observation to verify that they work normally.
Note: The emissions characteristics of this equipment make it suitable for use in industrial areas and hospitals
(IEC/CISPR 11 Class A). If it is used in a residential environment (for which IEC/CISPR 11 Class B is normally required)
this equipment might not offer adequate protection to radio-frequency communication services. The user might need to
take mitigation measures, such as relocating or re-orienting the equipment.
1.3
Unforeseen errors
If any problems should arise with the device, a message indicating the nature of the problem will appear on the screen of the PC,
together with a warning “beep”.
Errors in measurement or in interpretation can also be caused by:
•
use by non-qualified or non-trained personnel, lacking ability or experience
•
user error
•
use of the instrument outside the guidelines described in this User's Manual
•
use of the instrument even when some operational anomalies are encountered
•
non-authorised servicing of the instrument.
