1.2.2 Turbine
Disposable turbine
WARNING
For spirometry testing with a disposable turbine it is important to use a new
turbine for each new patient. The accuracy and hygiene of the disposable
turbine can only be guaranteed if it has been conserved beforehand in its
original sealed packaging.
The disposable turbine is made of plastic and its disposal after use should
adhere to the local regulations and norms in force.
The turbine must never be held under running water or direct air pressure and must never come into contact with hot fluids.
Do not allow dust or foreign matter to enter the turbine sensor which may alter the correct functioning and possibly cause damage.
The presence of any impurities such as hair, sputum, threads etc. within the body of the turbine sensor may seriously compromise
measurement accuracy.
1.2.3 Mouthpiece
Any disposable mouthpieces included with the spirometer are only to be used as a reference guide to purchase the correct size
mouthpiece required. These mouthpieces are clean but not sterile. To purchase appropriate mouthpieces, generally either paper or
plastic, single-use/disposable, we suggest that you contact your local distributor.
WARNING
Use a bio-compatible mouthpiece to avoid any problems to the patient; unsuitable materials could cause the device to
malfunction, consequently providing incorrect test results.
The user is responsible for obtaining the proper mouthpieces for the device. The required mouthpiece is a standard type with an
outside diameter of 30 mm, is of common use and in general easily procured.
WARNING
To avoid environmental contamination caused by the disposal of used mouthpieces, the user must follow all the relevant
local regulations.

These sensors require the use of an extension cable (product code 919200) for a proper connection to SPIROBANK II. Two cable
lengths are available:
Cod. 919200_INV length 1.5 m
Cod. 919210_INV length 0.5 m
Prolonged use and/or the patient’s condition may require changing the sensor site periodically. Change sensor site and check skin
integrity, blood circulation, and correct sensor alignment at least every 4 hours.
WARNING
Incorrectly applied oximetry sensors or damaged cables may cause inaccurate readings. Using a damaged oximetry sensor
may cause inaccurate readings, possibly resulting in patient injury or death. Inspect each oximetry sensor before use.
If an oximetry sensor appears damaged, do not use it. Use another oximetry sensor or contact your authorized repair center
for assistance.
Use only MIR oximetry sensors supplied with, or specifically intended for use with SPIROBANK II. Use of oximetry
sensors not intended for use with the SPIROBANK II may cause inaccurate readings.
Oximetry measurements may be inaccurate in the presence of high ambient light. Shield the sensor area (with a surgical
towel, for example) if necessary.
