The device is intended to test lung function and can make:
spirometry testing in people of all ages, excluding infants and neonates
oximetry testing in people of all ages.
It can be used in any setting, excluding during patient transport outside a healthcare facility.
1.1.1 User category
SPIROBANK II spirometer + oximeter calculates a series of parameters relating to human respiratory function.
Typically the doctor “prescribes” a spirometry test and is responsible for analysing and checking the results obtained.
1.1.2 Ability and experience required
The correct use of the device, the interpretation of the results and the maintenance of the device all require qualified personnel. In the
event that the device is to be operated by a patient, sufficient training must first be given to the patient by the doctor.
WARNING
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by the user of the device failing to follow instructions
and warnings in this manual.
If the user of the device is a person considered to be cognitively impaired the operation of the device must be made under
the supervision and responsibility of the person legally responsible to supervise the cognitively impaired person.
WARNING
When used as a pulse-oximeter, the SPIROBANK II is intended for spot-checking, overnight sleep screening and/or
continuous monitoring when used by a trained healthcare professional.
1.1.3 Operating Environment
SPIROBANK II has been designed for use in the doctor’s office, in a hospital or directly by the patient to continuously monitor
her/his physical conditions during routine daily activities. All information necessary for the proper use of the device in an
electromagnetic environment (as required by the EN 60601-1-2 Standard).
Used at home, at work, at school or during physical activity, day after day the device records data and functional respiratory
parameters for weeks or even months, helping the patient to better assess her/his own health.
The procedures for using the device at home are described according to the type of test to be made; the display will show all
instructions (messages, suggestions etc.) step-by-step, which allows the patient to correctly perform tests and obtain correct results, to
be analysed by the doctor.
The device is not intended for use in an operating theatre nor in the presence of inflammable liquids or detergents, nor in the presence
of inflammable anaesthetic gases (oxygen or nitrogen).
The device is not designed to be used in direct air drafts (e.g. wind), sources of heat or cold, direct sunlight or other sources of light or
energy, dust, sand or any chemical substances.
The user and/or doctor is responsible for ensuring that the device is stored and used in appropriate environmental conditions; in this
regard reference is made to the specifications described in paragraph 1.6.3 below.

Rev.1.1
User manual
1.1.5 Patient effect on the use of the device
A spirometry test should only be carried out when the patient is at rest and in good health, in suitable testing conditions. A spirometry
test requires the full collaboration of the patient since she/he must perform a complete forced expiration, in order to obtain a reliable
test result.
1.1.6 Limitations of use - Contraindications
An analysis of the results of a spirometry test is not by itself sufficient to make a correct diagnosis of the patient’s clinical condition. A
detailed clinical history of the patient is also required together with the results of any other test(s) suggested by a doctor.
Test comments, a test interpretation and suggested therapeutic treatment must be given by a doctor.
Any symptoms that the patient has at the time of the test must be carefully considered before a spirometry test is made. The user is
responsible to assess both the mental and the physical condition of the patient in order to perform a proper test, furthermore, in the
evaluation of test results, the user must also assess the degree of collaboration of each test carried out.
A spirometry test requires the full collaboration of the patient. The results depend on the person’s ability to inspire as much air as
possible and to expire all of the air as fast and for as long as possible. If these fundamental conditions are not respected then the
results obtained during spirometry testing will not be considered accurate, and therefore the test results are “not acceptable”.
The acceptability of a test is the responsibility of the doctor. Special attention should be given when testing elderly patients, children
and handicapped people.
The device should not be used if any conceivable or actual anomalies or malfunctions appear which may compromise the accuracy of
the results.
WARNING
When used as a pulse oximeter the SPIROBANK II has limited alarms, therefore the device requires frequent display
observation of SpO2 and pulse rate.
1.2 Important safety warnings
SPIROBANK II has been examined by an independent laboratory which has certified the compliance of the device to the
European Safety Standards EN 60601-1 and guarantees the EMC Requirements within the limits laid down in the European
Standard EN 60601-1-2.
SPIROBANK II is continuously checked during manufacturing and therefore the product complies with the established security
levels and quality standards laid down by the Council Directive 93/42/EEC for MEDICAL DEVICES.
After removing the device from its packaging, check to see that there is no visible damage. In case of damage do not use the device
and return it to the manufacturer for repair.
WARNING
The safety and the correct performance of the device can only be assured if the user respects all of the relevant safety rules
and regulations.
The manufacturer will not be held responsible for damage due to user’s neglect to correctly to follow these instructions.
The device must be used only and exclusively as a spirometer following the indications given by the manufacturer with
particular attention to the paragraph on INTENDED USE, and utilizing only original spare parts and accessories. Use of
non-original parts such as the turbine flow sensor and oximetry sensor or other accessories may cause errors in
measurement and/or compromise the correct functioning of the device, and is therefore not permitted.
The device should not be used beyond the declared life span.. In normal conditions the lifespan of the device is estimated to
be around 10 years.
The device constantly monitors the state of charge of this battery and a message informs the user when the battery is
discharged.

WARNING
Dyes introduced into the bloodstream (for example; to perform a diagnostic tests) such as methylene blue, indocyanine
green, indigo carmine, patent blue V (PBV), and fluorescein may adversely affect the accuracy of the oximetry reading.
Any condition that restricts blood flow, such as the use of a blood pressure cuff or a device for systemic vascular resistance,
may cause the inability to determine accurate pulse rate and SpO2 readings.
Remove fingernail polish and/or false fingernails before applying SpO2 sensors. Both may cause inaccurate oximetry
measurements.
Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins, such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin, may adversely affect the
accuracy of the oximetry measurement.
Optical cross-talk can occur when two or more sensors are placed in close proximity. Optical cross-talk may adversely affect
the accuracy of the oximetry readings. The danger can be eliminated by covering each site with opaque material.
