MIROxi
User Manual cod. 980265
Rev 1.6
Page 6 of 32
Use only MIR sensors supplied with or specifically intended for use with the
MIROxi
. The use of sensors not
intended for use with the
MIROxi
may cause inaccurate readings.
Oximetry measurements may be inaccurate in the presence of high ambiental light. Shield the sensor area
(with a surgical towel, for example) if necessary.
WARNING
Dyes introduced into the bloodstream, such as methylene blue, indocyanine green, indigo carmine, patent
blue V (PBV), and fluorescein may adversely affect the accuracy of the oximetry reading.
Any condition that restricts blood flow, such as the use of a blood pressure cuff or a device for systemic
vascular resistance, may cause an inability to determine accurate pulse rate and SpO2 readings.
Remove fingernail polish and/or false fingernails before applying SpO2 sensors. Both may cause inaccurate
oximetry measurement.
Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins, such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin, may
adversely affect the accuracy of the oximetry measurement.
Optical cross-talk can occur when two or more sensors are placed in close proximity. Optical cross-talk may
adversely affect the accuracy of the oximetry readings. The danger can be eliminated by covering each site
with opaque material.
Obstructions or dirt on the sensor’s emitter and/or detector may cause a sensor failure or inaccurate
readings. Make sure there are no obstructions and the sensor is clean.
Autoclaving, ethylene oxide sterilizing, may cause sensor damage. Do not attempt to sterilize the sensor.
Unplug the sensor from the
MIROxi
before cleaning or disinfecting to prevent damaging sensor or device,
and to prevent safety hazards for the user.
1.2.3
Device
WARNING
The maintenance operations detailed in this Manual must be fully and accurately carried out. 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. 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.
High-frequency emissions from other electronic devices may interfere with the correct operation of the
instrument. For this reason, certain minimum clearances (a few metres) should be observed when high-
frequency appliances such as a TV, radio, portable phone, etc. and other electronic units are operated at the
same time in the same room.
The instrument may give inaccurate readings if operated in the presence of strong electromagnetic sources,
such as electrosurgical equipment, or in the presence of computed tomography (CT) equipment.
Do not use the instrument in the presence of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment. MRI equipment
may cause an induced current to the oximetry sensor, resulting in patient injury.
If the PC and/or the printer connected to
MIROxi
come into contact with an area containing patient data, ref.
directive EN 60601-1-1, it is necessary that they conform to the directive EN 60601-1.
For the recycling of the
MIROxi
, the accessories, any plastic consumable materials as well as the battery,
use only the appropriate containers or return all such parts to the dealer or to a recycling centre. 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.
Use only the battery type indicated in the § Technical specifications.
Remove the battery from the device if the machine is not used for a long period (several months).
The instrument may be powered through a PC by a USB cable. By this means, the device works both on line
with the PC, or individually powered by the PC.
Keep the device out of reach of children and of any person with mental handicap.
1.3
Unforeseen errors
In case the device internal memory data are damaged, when the device is switched on, the following message appears:
Error on RAM memory
Recovery data
Please wait
If data are successfully recovered then the device completes the standard switch on process, otherwise please contact
an authorised technical assistance point or the manufacturer.
