It is the responsibility of the user to provide suitable mouthpieces. These items generally
have a standard 30 mm external diameter and are commonly used by health workers. They
are widely available.
WARNING
To avoid contamination of the environment caused by the disposal of used
mouthpieces, the user must comply with all the local regulations in force.
1.2.4
Sensor for oximetry
In addition to the sensor code number 919024 supplied with the device, the following
specific sensors can also be used for different types of patients:
Manufacturer
Code
Description
MIR code
Envitec
RS-3222-12
Reusable small soft sensor (paediatric)
939006
Envitec
RM-3222-12
Reusable medium soft sensor (adults )
939007
Envitec
R-3222-12
Reusable large soft sensor (adults)
939008
These sensors require the use of the extension cable item code 919200 (length 1.5 m) for
connection with the
spirolab
device.
Prolonged use of a sensor or the patient's condition may mean that the location of the
sensor has to be changed periodically. Change the position of sensors every 4 hours.
Moreover, check the condition of the skin and blood flow, and ensure the sensor is
properly aligned.
WARNING
The incorrect use of a sensor or sensor cable and the use of a faulty sensor or sensor
cable may compromise the accuracy of readings, and indeed generate seriously
incorrect readings of the patient's condition. Check every sensor carefully before
use.
Do not use sensors that appear to be or are damaged. If you do not have any more
working sensors, contact your local distributor who supplied the device.
Only use MIR sensors that have been specifically designed to work with spirolab.
The use of other sensors may provide faulty readings.
Oximetry results may be faulty if the test is performed under very bright conditions.
If necessary, cover the sensor (e.g. with a clean cloth).
