DATOSPIR MICRO User’s Manual 208
Chapter 8: Upkeep, Preventative and Corrective Maintenance
511-A00-MU2 • REV. 2.06
Like any equipment, particularly if for medical applications,
the DATOSPIR MICRO spirometer requires upkeep and
maintenance aimed firstly at the safety of patients, operators
and the environment, and secondly, at ensuring the reliability
and precision of the functions for which it has been developed.
All this leads to a series of routines that must be completed.
8.1 UPKEEP
Upkeep is aimed at ensuring the correct working order of the
equipment. The person undertaking it requires no special technical
skills except knowledge of the functions and handling of the
equipment.
The equipment user himself must normally perform this. The
operations to be completed are as follows:
CLEANING THE TURBINE TRANSDUCER
Given that the turbine is the part exposed directly to the patient,
it must be kept in perfect physical and hygienic conditions. To do
so, proceed as follows:
1
The turbine is removed from the equipment housing by
pressing slightly so that is comes away from its fixtures.
2
Wash the turbine with water and soap, avoiding solvents or
abrasive substances that may damage the components. Given
that its reliability depends on the condition of the turbine, make
sure it is not damaged.
3
Once rinsed, avoid salt deposits by rinsing again with distilled
water.
4
You can then leave it to dry at room temperature.
5
Reassemble the turbine in the housing.
