User manual
If any of these rules are not followed then MIR will decline all responsibility for any direct or indirect damages, however
caused.
To supply power to the device use only the battery type indicated in the § Technical specifications.
The device 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.
1.2.7
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.
Spirobank II 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 Spirobank II 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, Spirobank II and the other devices must be kept under observation to verify
that they work normally.
Do not use the instrument in the presence of MRI equipment, which can generate an induced current in the sensor to measure
oximetry, causing injury to the patient.

Lithium-ion battery pack warning
The device is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack with a supply voltage of 3.7 V.
For proper use of the battery pack please read carefully the warning below
WARNING
Use only battery packs supplied by MIR
Improper use of the battery pack may cause acid leakage, overheating, smoke, breakage an explosion and/or fire.
Consequently the battery pack may be damaged or suffer a drop in overall performance. The internal battery pack safety
sensor could also be damaged as well by any of the above events. Furthermore the user of the device could be harmed and
other nearby appliances could be damaged as well.
Please read the following instructions carefully.
DANGER
Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack. The battery pack comes with an internal safety sensor; which if tampered
with may cause acid leakage, overheating, smoke, breakage an explosion and/or fire.
Do not short-circuit the po) and negative (-) poles with any metal objects.
Do not carry the battery pack in your pocket or in a bag with other metallic objects like necklaces, hairpins, coins or screws.
Do not store the battery pack near any such objects.
Do not warm-up or throw the battery pack in a fire.
Do not use or store the battery pack near a fire or in a vehicle where the temperature may reach 60°C or higher
Do not immerge the battery pack in water or salt-water, and do not leave it wet.
Such events may damage the internal battery safety sensor, thus causing the battery to be charged at a higher voltage,
triggering abnormal chemical reactions leading to acid leakage, overheating, smoke, an explosion and/or fire
Do not charge the battery pack near a fire or in an extremely hot environment. High temperature may activate the internal
battery safety sensor thus inhibiting the charge. The high temperature may also damage the internal battery safety sensor
causing extremely high current surge; and consequently causing abnormal chemical reactions in the battery pack triggering
acid leakage, overheating, smoke breakage, an explosion and/or fire.
Use only the battery charger who comply with the characteristics defined in point 1.6.3 of this manual to recharge the battery
pack. Recharging with an unsuitable charger in unconforming conditions may cause the battery pack to overcharge or the
charging current to be extremely high thus causing abnormal chemical reactions in the battery pack triggering acid leakage,
overheating, smoke breakage an explosion and/or fire.
Do not puncture the battery pack with sharp objects such as a nail.
Do not hammer, step-on, throw or cause a forceful impact to the battery-pack.
