WARNING
Avoid twisting the sensor’s cable as this may compromise measurement accuracy and the integrity of the sensor itself, also
do not apply excessive force when using, connecting, disconnecting or storing the oximetry sensor.
The first few seconds are used to find the best signal possible; after which the SPIROBANK II timer resets itself and the device starts
recording data.
For any type of oximetry test if the sensor is not properly connected the following message will be displayed on screen after a few

During oximetry testing if the SpO2 and blood pulse rate fall below the bottom threshold or raise above the upper threshold, the
SPIROBANK II will emit an acoustic alarm ‘(if previously set in the service menu.)’ until such situation persists. For sleep oximetry
testing the heart rate tone is always disabled.
