Thank you for purchasing a SIBELMED spirometer. SIBELMED is a leading manufacturer of
spirometry technology. SIBELMED spirometers are supplied with multiple functions that allow
absolute control and maximum comfort while performing spirometry maneuvers.
This is a concise guide that will allow you to perform the basic functions quickly. For maximum
performance, refer to the USER MANUAL
.
Installation / Location
The
DATOSPIR MICRO
is totally portable and autonomous and does not require special installation.
Be careful not to use the equipment in places that:
- Are not safe for the patient or can cause patient stress.
- Can be subject to splashing of water or other liquids.
- Are subject to strong air currents.
Once the batteries have been placed correctly, the equipment is ready to operate.
Use products that are certified in accordance with directive 93/42/CEE which ensure the patient’s
safety and the quality of the spirometers.
MY FIRST SPIROMETRY
step by step
(A)
Perfoming a FVC (Forced Vital Capacity) maneuver:
1. Start the equipment by pressing
>
1 second.
2. The
MAIN SCREEN
appears.
3. Press the key to view the screen to enter patient parameters,
(a numeric or alphanumeric
screen will appear, depending on the mode selected).
4. Enter the patient’s parameters and press A screen containing the axes for plotting the
maneuver will appear.
5. After having instructed the patient and the patient is ready for the maneuver, press the key,
and wait until a blinking arrow appears on the screen
.
THE FVC MANEUVER CAN NOW BE STARTED

Once the maneuver is finished, the values of the
FVC
and
FEV1
parameters appear on the top right-hand of the screen, underneath
the
REF
erence values (theoretical).
If three or more maneuvers have been performed and the FVC and/or
FEV1
parameters blink on and off, this indicates that repeatability
criterion has been fulfilled for one or both parameters..
This criterion indicates that the two best
FVC
or
FEV1
values do not differ by more than 150 ml if
FVC
is
more than 1 liter or more than 100 ml if
FVC
is less than or equal to one liter.
The device allows us to perform any number of necessary maneuvers. The
DATOSPIR MICRO
always
stores the five best maneuvers for Forced Vital Capacity
(FVC)
, and orders them according to
ATS/ERS
criteria
, so that
M1
is the best and
M5
the worst.
Press on
AXES
to switch from one graphic
type
to the other
(Flow/Volume or Volume/Time).
Press on
PARAMETERS
, to view the screen containing the data of the
selected maneuver.
Press on a
MANEUVER
, to select it. This allows you to see a graphic,
consult parameters or print out a report.
Press on the
GRAPHIC
area to delete the regular keys and enable the magnifying key and use or
to enlarge or reduce. Press on the same area again to return to the regular keys view.
Press on the
REFERENCE
area to access the patient’s data.
To view the second set of keys, press and to return to the first set of keys, press
Remember that the key can be used to return to the menu without losing the available infor-
mation, except if a new patient code is entered or on certain other occasions, but a warning is always
displayed before loosing the data.
If the warnings are enabled, once the maneuver is finished, one or more
WARNINGS
may appear on the screen indicating that the maneuver has
not been performed according to one or more
ATS/ERS
criteria.
FP-
This indicates that expiration did not end satisfactorily because
the variation of accumulated volume during the last second of the
maneuver was over 25 ml, or that the maneuver lasted for less than
6 seconds (in individuals 10 or older) or less than 3 seconds (in children under 10).
EX-
This indicates that the expiration did not start satisfactorily because the extrapolated volume was greater than 5% of the FVC or 0.15 liters.
According to the ATS/ERS recommendations, this volume should be lower than 5% of the FVC or 0.15 liters, whichever is greater.
WARNING:
The
DATOSPIR MICRO
always stores the five best Forced Vital Capacity
(FVC)
maneuvers and these
are ordered according to
ATS/ERS
criterion, meaning that
M1 is the best and M5 the worst
. Therefore, to present
the diagnosis, print the report or save the maneuver for
POST
bronchodilation or for the internal DataBase it is
recommendable to use
M1, unless the technician deems it convenient to use a different one.
