User manual
WARNING
Incorrectly applied oximetry sensors or damaged cables may cause inaccurate readings. Using a damaged oximetry sensor
may cause inaccurate readings, possibly resulting in patient injury or death. Inspect each oximetry sensor before use.
If an oximetry sensor appears damaged, do not use it. Use another oximetry sensor or contact your authorized repair center
for assistance.
Use only MIR oximetry sensors supplied with, or specifically intended for use with Spirobank II. Use of oximetry sensors not
intended for use with the Spirobank II may cause inaccurate readings.
Oximetry measurements may be inaccurate in the presence of high ambient light. Shield the sensor area (with a surgical
towel, for example) if necessary.
WARNING
Dyes introduced into the bloodstream (for example; to perform a diagnostic tests) 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 the 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
measurements.
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 detec
tor 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 Spirobank II before cleaning or disinfecting to prevent damaging sensor or device, and to prevent
safety hazards for the user.
1.2.5
USB connection cable
Incorrect use or application of the USB cable may produce inaccurate measurements, wich 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 Spirobank II. The use of other types of cables can lead to
inaccurate measurements.
1.2.6
Device
WARNING
The maintenance operations detailed in this manual must be fully and accurately carried out. If these instructions are not
followed this may cause measurement errors and/or an incorrect test interpretation.
Do not modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacturer.
Any modifications, adjustments, repairs or reconfigurations must be made by the manufacturer or by personnel authorised
by the manufacturer. Never attempt to make a repair on your own. The set-up of configurable parameters should only be
made by qualified personnel. However, an incorrect set-
up of the parameters in no way endagers the patient’s health.
Technical description indicates, manufacturer will provide circuit diagrams, component part lists, descriptions, calibration
instructions to assist to service personnel in parts repair.
The use of accessories and cables other than those specified by the manufacturer may result in increased emissions or
decreased immunity of the device.
Spirobank II should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment and if adjacent or stacked use is necessary,
Spirobank II should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
If the device is connected to other instruments, to satisfy the safety requirements of the system required by the standard CEI
EN 60601-1, it is necessary to use exclusively devices compliant to the safety standard. Therefore the PC or the printer which
the Spirobank II is connected must be compliant to the standard CEI EN 60601-1.
To dispose of the Spirobank II, the accessories, any plastic consumable materials (mouthpieces) as well as the battery, use
only appropriate containers or return all such parts to the dealer or to a recycling center. All applicable local regulations must
be followed.
