To make the connection, insert the mini USB connector supplied with Spirodoc as shown in the picture
and attach the other connector to the USB port of the PC.
When initially making a connection, depending on the version of the operating system, the PC will either
make an automatic driver installation (for Windows 98, 2000, ME) or request some information (for
Windows XP, Vista and Seven). To avoid making any errors at this stage please read the Advanced
section of the MIR Spiro User Manual carefully.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING
No part can be subjected to maintenance during use.
Spirodoc requires very little maintenance
The operations to perform periodically are:
• Cleaning and checking the reusable turbine.
• Cleaning the oximetry sensor.
• Cleaning of the device.
• Recharging the internal battery pack.
The maintenance operations described in the User's Manual must be carried out with extreme care. Failing to observe the instructions
may cause errors in measurement or the misinterpretation of the measured values.
Modifications, adjustments, repairs, and reconfigurations must be carried out by the manufacturer or by qualified personnel.
In the unlikely event of a problem do not attempt to repair the unit.
The parameter configuration setup must be carried out by qualified personnel. In any case the risks pertaining to an incorrect
configuration setting in no way endangers the patient.
4.1
Cleaning and checking the reusable turbine
Two types of turbines can be used with Spirodoc. The disposable turbine or the reusable turbine. Both guarantee precise measurements
and have the advantage of requiring no periodic calibration. In order to maintain the default characteristics of the reusable turbine a
simple cleaning procedure is required before use.
Cleaning of the disposable turbine is not required, as it is supplied clean in a sealed plastic bag. It must be disposed of after use.
WARNING
Periodically check the inside of the turbine to ensure that there are no impurities, corpuscles, or any foreign matter like hairs
which could inadvertently block or even slow down the mobile equipment in the turbine and as a consequence compromise
spirometry measurement accuracy.
Before use perform the test described in paragraph 4.1.1 which allows to the check the efficiency of the turbine. If the test result is
negative perform the following procedure.
To clean the reusable turbine remove it from its housing by rotating it counter-clockwise and apply slight pressure with a finger from
the bottom of the turbine to lift it out of its housing.
Immerse the turbine in a cold liquid solution and shake it so as to remove any impurities. Leave the turbine immersed for the time
specified in the instruction of the solution.
WARNING
To avoid irreparable damage to the reusable turbine please do not use any alcoholic or oily detergent solutions, and do not
immerge the turbine in hot water or hot liquids.
Do not place the turbine under a direct water jet or other liquid. If no detergent solution is available, clean the turbine in
clean water. Do not use compressed air to clean the turbine.
Rinse the turbine by immerging it in clean water (not hot).
Shake off the excess water from the turbine and let it dry, position the turbine vertically on a dry surface.
Before inserting the reusable turbine in the device it is good practice to visually check that the rotor inside turns freely. Hold the turbine
horizontally and slowly move it left and right and vice versa. You should be able to see the mobile equipment (blade) rotate freely. If
this is not the case then the measurement accuracy can no longer be guaranteed and as such the turbine must be replaced.
