Rev.1.0
Service Guide
2.1. MAIN BOARD MODULE
The main board module translates the input signal from the turbine flowmeter into spirometry values and compares them
with the predicted values calculated with the parameters age, sex, height, weight and ethnic group. Test results are
displayed on a LCD and can be printed on paper with an external printer. Spirometry test data are stored into memory and
are available for later use.
The main board module also makes a calculation using the oximetry input signal; from this signal collected at a 16
msec/frequency the percentage value of oxygen saturation in the blood and the heart beat values are obtained, which are
oximetry parameters.
The main board module includes:
-Main Microcontroller
-FLASH memory with device configuration and spirometry data
-FRAM IC with non volatile memory and real time clock
-Measuring controller for flow, volume and ambient temperature
-Ambient temperature sensor (to enable conversion from ATP to BTPS conditions).
-USB port
-Oximetry port
-Bluetooth module
2.1.1. Charging controller for battery (IC1 LTC 4067)
The charging controlling circuit used in the Spirobank II ensures a charge and optimum condition of the battery
providing that the battery temperature and voltage are within the preset limits. Temperature, voltage and time are all
monitored throughout the charge process.
The charging process itself is automatically initiated in two situations:
1. After connecting the battery charger to the unit.
2. When the unit is switched on, the battery charger is connected and the voltage level of the battery is below a preset
limit. In this situation the LCD indicates the low battery status with one line in the battery indicator.
The fast charging process is terminated by any of the following:
-Battery voltage out of range (Maximum/Minimum)
-Battery temperature out of range (Maximum/Minimum)
-Maximum charging time (timeout = 2h after the voltage arrives at the maximum value, 4.2 V)

Spirobank II
Page 8 of 35
Rev.1.0
Service Guide
Charging phases:
1. If everything is in order (battery temperature, temperature rising, battery voltage etc.) then the charging process starts
and the display shows the following image in the upper right
2. At the end of the regular charging process, the display shows the following message:
Battery full
3. If after completing the charging process the battery charger is still connected, a so-called Pulse-Trickle-Function is
activated that gives a very low charge to compensate the self-discharging of the battery while it is idle connected to the
charger.
2.1.2. Room temperature sensor
(IC15) DALLAS DS 18B20 to measure the ambient (room) temperature to enable the calculation of the BTPS conversion
factor.
2.1.3. USB communication port
Version 2.0.
2.1.4. Oximetry port
The connector beside the USB ports is used to connect the oximetry sensor, where this function is enabled on the device.
Many sensors can be used on spirobank II based on the type of test to be performed and on the patient characteristics.
The manufacturer provides the most frequently used sensor with the device, which has the following features:
mechanical part
finger
electrical part
two light emitting diodes (LEDs), one emits in the visible spectre and one infrared
Both lights then pass through the finger and are “read” by the receiver. As these lights pass through the finger, a
proportion of the light is absorbed by the blood and by the soft tissue, in function of the concentration of haemoglobin.
The quantity of light absorbed, at each frequency, depends on the degree of oxygenation of the haemoglobin inside the
soft tissue.
2.2. DISPLAY MODULE
The display module shows patient data, user set parameters and test results..
It is connected with:
30-pin flat-cable for digital connection (CONN 1)
The lamp controller (IC6) MAX 8822
2.3. TURBINE FLOWMETER
The sensor for measuring flow and volume is similar to the model already used in other spirometers produced by MIR
(Series MIR 040 Mod. Spirodoc, MIR024_REV2 Mod. Spirobank G USB).
The turbine flowmeter consists of one mechanical and two electrical parts:
Mechanical parts:
-turbine
Electrical parts:

Spirobank II
Page 9 of 35
Rev.1.0
Service Guide
-Two pairs of infrared transmitters/receivers positioned as shown below.
-A signal conditioning circuit to rectify the output signal from the two infrared light receivers.
The rotation of the rotor causes the interruption of the infrared beam, thus creating a pulse signal which has a frequency
directly proportional to the flow.
The measurement of the air flow which passes through the tube is therefore proportional to the number of interruptions
of the infrared beam.
The phase difference  (positive or negative)
between the signals from each of the two infrared
receivers (RX1 and RX2) depends upon the direction
of rotation of the moving rotor and therefore supply
the information of the direction of the air flow
(expiration or inspiration).
In detail,  > 0 for expiratory flow,  < 0 for
inspiratory flow.
The two pulse trains are squared by a Schmitt trigger
(LMV932MM on MiniFlowmeter) and then sent to
two input ports of the microprocessor (IC17
CP3BT26, pins 38 and 36).
The main microprocessor has the possibility to switch
all the peripheral ports on or off, including the
turbine.

4.3.4. Turbine
There are two types of flow and volume measurement sensors used on spirobank II, single-patient disposable and
reusable.
Note
The spirobank II turbine measurement system is calibrated in the factory and does not require any adjustments
or calibrations.
Warning
Disposable Turbine
If you are going to perform the spirometry test with a “single-
patient” disposable turbine it is important to use a new turbine for
every new patient. The characteristics, accuracy and the 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 authority guidelines / norms.
Reusable Turbine
The correct functioning of the re-usable turbine can only be
guaranteed if it has been cleaned in the correct manner and is free
from foreign bodies which could alter its movement. If the turbine
has not been cleaned sufficiently this could cause cross
contamination from one patient to another. Periodic cleaning
should only be done when the instrument is for personal use and
will only be used by one patient. The cleaning of the turbine
should be done following the guidelines in the User’s Manual.
The following information applies to both turbine models.
Do not expose the turbine to a direct jet of water or air, and avoid contact with high temperature liquids.
Do not allow dust or foreign bodies to enter the turbine sensor, in order to avoid incorrect functioning and possible
damage. The presence of any impurities (such as hair, sputum, threads etc.) within the body of the turbine sensor may
seriously compromise the accuracy of the measurements.
The turbines ensure high precision in 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). This operation will also guarantee perfect hygiene and the highest possible safety conditions for the patients.
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.
4.3.4.1. Cleaning 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.
Turbine operation check:
Turn on SPIROBANK II and setup the device to perform a spirometry test (for example FVC).

Spirobank II
Page 17 of 35
Rev.1.0
Service Guide
Hold the SPIROBANK II with one hand and move it slowly sideways, having the air pass through the turbine.
If the rotor spins properly the device will emit a series of acoustic signals “beeps”. The beeping frequency is a function
of the air flow passing through the turbine.
If no beeps are heard while moving the device, proceed to clean the turbine
CAUTION
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.
To clean the reusable turbine, first remove it by pulling it gently from the spirobank II turning it anti-clockwise and
pressing lightly. It can be helpful to push it gently from underneath with one finger from the bottom of the turbine to lift it
out of its housing.
Immerse the turbine in a cold liquid 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.
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.
To ensure that the turbine is functioning correctly before replacing it inside the instrument, it is good practice to make a
visual check of the rotation blade. Placing the turbine tube horizontally and moving it gently from left to right and vice
versa, the rotation blade (rotor) must rotate freely. Otherwise, accurate measurement is no longer guaranteed and the
turbine must be replaced.
Once the turbine has been cleaned insert the turbine tube in its place following the instructions indicated by the closed
lock symbol printed on the plastic casing of the spirobank II.
To insert the turbine correctly push it and then turn it clockwise until it reaches the stop, which ensures that the tube has
been blocked inside the casing.
4.3.4.2. Calibration of the reusable turbine
See instructions in the Calibration section of the User Manual of the device.
The turbines used on spirobank II do not require periodic calibration as they are already calibrated.
4.3.5. Internal software upgrade procedure
In order to upgrade the software winspiroPRO must already be installed and the PC must have an internet connection for
downloading the upgrades and firmware of the spirobank II from www.spirometry.com.
