3. MAINTENANCE
Smart One® is an instrument that requires very limited maintenance. The operations to perform periodically are:
 Cleaning and controlling of the reusable turbine
The maintenance operations set forth in the User’s Manual must be carried out carefully. Failing to observe the instructions
contained in the manual may cause errors in measurement or in the interpretation of measured values.
Modifications, adjustments, repairs, and reconfiguration must be carried out by the manufacturer or authorised persons.
In case problems arise do not attempt to personally repair the unit.
The setting of configuration parameters must be carried out by qualified personnel. In any case the risks pertaining to incorrect
settings do not constitute a hazard for the patient.
3.1 Cleaning and controlling the reusable turbine
The turbine utilized on Smart One
®
belongs to one of two categories: disposable and reusable. Both guarantee precise
measurements and have the great advantage of requiring no periodic calibration. In order to maintain the characteristics of the
turbine a simple cleaning is required prior to each use (only for the reusable turbine).
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.
It is a good practice to control from time to time that dirt or foreign bodies are not deposited inside the turbine such as
threads or hair. Any such deposit could brake or block the rotation of the turbine blade and thus compromise the
measurement accuracy.
To clean the reusable turbine, remove it from its compartment on the Smart One
®
by turning it anti-clockwise and pressing
lightly. It can be helpful to push it gently from underneath with one finger.
Immerse the turbine in the recommended cold detergent solution, and move it within the liquid to remove any impurities which
may be deposited inside. Leave the turbine immersed for the time specified in the instruction of the solution.
To avoid any kind of damage to the reusable turbine please do not use any alcoholic or oily substances, do not immerge
the turbine in hot water or hot solution.
Do not put the turbine under a direct jet of water or other liquid. If no detergent solution is available, clean the turbine in
clean water.
MIR suggest the use of Perasafe, manufactured by Dupont, which has been tested with positive results on all MIR
sensors.
Rinse the turbine by immerging it in clean water (not hot).
Shake off the excess water from the turbine and leave it to dry, standing it vertically on a dry surface.
Once the turbine has been cleaned insert the turbine tube in its place according to the direction as indicated by the closed lock
symbol printed on the plastic casing of the Smart One
®
.
To correctly insert the turbine push it to the end and turn it clockwise until reaching the wedge which ensures that the tube has
been blocked inside the plastic casing.
