INTRODUCTION  1.1  Intended Use  1.1.1  User Category The spirobank II spirometer + oximeter calculates a series of parameters relating to human respiratory function.  The product is therefore intended for use by a doctor or by a trained paramedic or technician under the  supervision of  a doctor, and  has  also  been  designed for  home care  by patients. Typically  the  doctor  “prescribes”  a  spirometry  test  and  is  responsible  for  analysing  and controlling 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 operated by the patient, then  sufficient  training  must  first  be  given  to  the  patient  by  the  doctor  or  by  the  trained paramedic under the supervision of the doctor.   !!' $ !( $  !!' $ !( $  !!' $ !( $  !!' $ !( $  !% %  % %  1.1.3  Operating environment  spirobank  II  has  been  designed for  use in  a  doctor’s  office, in  a  hospital  or  directly  by  the patient  during  day-to-day  activities  for  the  continuous  monitoring  of  physical  conditions.  All information necessary for the proper use  of  the device in electromagnetic environments (as required by the EN 60601-1-2 Standard) is available from the manufacturer. Used at home, at work, at school or during sports, day by day the device records data and functional  respiratory  parameters  for  a  period  of  weeks  or months,  assisting  the  patient  in making a better assessment of 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 subject to correctly perform tests and obtain correct results, to be analysed by the doctor. The  instrument  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).
spirobank II   User’s Manual cod. 980200  Rev 2.2    Page 7 of 60 The instrument is not designed to be used in direct air currents (e.g. wind), sources of heat or cold,  direct  sun  rays  or  other  sources  of  light  or energy,  dust,  sand  or  any  other  chemical substances.  The user and/or the doctor are responsible for ensuring that the device is stored and used in appropriate ambiental conditions.  !!' $ !( $  !!' $ !( $  !!' $ !( $  !!' $ !( $      )           1.1.4  Who can or must make the installation The  device  requires  installation  by  qualified  personnel.  Normally  the  doctor  configures  the instrument before giving it to the patient for use at home.  1.1.5  Subject effect on the use of the device A spirometry test should only be carried out when the subject is at rest and in good health, and thus in suitable testing conditions. A spirometry test requires the collaboration of the subject since the subject must make a complete forced expiration, in order to have a meaningful 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  subject’s clinical condition. A  detailed clinical  history of the subject is also required together with the results of any other test(s) suggested by a doctor.  Test comments, a test interpretation and suggested courses of treatment must be given by a doctor. Any symptoms that the subject 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 capacity of the subject in order to make a correct test, and the user, in the evaluation of test results, must also assess the degree of collaboration of each test carried out. A spirometry  test requires  the full  collaboration  of  the subject. The  results depend  on the person’s capability to inspire and to expire all air completely and as fast 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 user. Special attention should be given to testing elderly subjects, children and handicapped people. The device should never be used when it is possible or probable that the validity of the results may be compromised due to any such external factors.  1.2  Important safety warnings  spirobank II )%      '  *  *  ' $  + , -.-    ' & % % ' * ' $ + , + , -.-./

A disposable mouthpiece is required in order to connect a subject to  the  spirometer.  In  order  to  avoid  exposing  the  subject  to  the  critical  danger  of  cross-contamination, the reusable flow sensor must always be cleaned before each spirometry test, and a new disposable mouthpiece must always be used for each subject. The use of an anti-bacterial filter is at the discretion of the doctor. If a single-patient disposable turbine is used, then a new one must be used for each patient. 1.2.2  Turbine  !!' $ !( $  !!' $ !( $  !!' $ !( $  !!' $ !( $   0 %     %     %   ! "!              !.              %           . 8       %     % !

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: •  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. •  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. •  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. •  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for assistance.  1.5  Product description  spirobank II is a pocket spirometer, with an optional pulse oximetry module. It can operate in stand alone mode and it can be connected to a PC or to a printer using any one of several available methods: RS232, USB, Bluetooth.     spirobank  II  is  specifically  designed  to  measure  a  range  of  respiratory  parameters  and  to monitor the saturation of oxygen in the blood and the heart beat. A  quality control check is carried out  internally on  the  measured parameters  and  the  device has  an internal  memory sufficient for over 6000 spirometry tests or for 1000 hours (or 40 days) of oximetry monitoring.  spirobank  II is  a  powerful  and  compact  measurement  device,  intended  for  use  by  a respiratory specialist or by a  suitably trained generalist. The spirometer calculates up to 30 functional  respiratory  parameters  providing  the  pharmacodynamic  effects,  i.e.  the  data comparison after the administration of a drug (PRE/POST) for a bronchodilator test or for a bronchial challenge test. A comparison of data is made between POST (after-drug) and PRE (before drug administration).  The  flow  and  volume  measurement  sensor  is  a  digital  turbine,  based  on  the  infrared interruption  principal.  This  principal  ensures  the  accuracy  and  the  reproducibility  of  the measurements, without requiring a periodic calibration.  The features of this kind of sensor are listed below:
spirobank II   User’s Manual cod. 980200  Rev 2.2    Page 15 of 60  •  Accurate measurement even at very low flow rates (end of expiration) •  Not influenced by gas humidity nor density •  Shockproof and unbreakable •  Inexpensive to replace.  The  turbine  flow  measurement  sensor  is  available  both  in  reusable  and  in  single-patient disposable versions.   REUSEABLE TURBINE   DISPOSABLE TURBINE  The following precautions must be observed to ensure that the characteristics of the turbine remain unaltered over time:  •  for the disposable turbine: must always be substituted between patients. •  for the reusable turbine: always clean the turbine between patients, to ensure the maximum level of hygiene and safety for the patient.  For  a  correct  interpretation  of  a  spirometry  test,  the  measured  values  must  be  compared either  to  the  so-called  normal  or  predicted  values  which  are  calculated  from  the anthropometric details of the patient or, alternatively, to the personal best  values from the clinical history of the subject. The personal best values can vary considerably from the predicted values, which are taken from “healthy” subjects.  spirobank II is also able to transfer the stored test data through a simple acoustic coupling to a PC, so the patient can send test data by phone to the doctor. In this way the doctor can check the patient’s condition remotely.  spirobank II can also be connected to a PC (or to another computerised system) to configure the system. All spirometric test results plus the related subject details stored inside the device can  be  transferred  from  the  device  to  the  PC  and  then  viewed  on  the  PC  (Flow/volume curves, spirometry parameters, plus optional oximetry parameters). The connection to the PC can be made in the following ways:  •  through the RS232 port or •  through the USB port  spirobank II gives an automatic interpretation of each spirometry test carried out, and assigns a “traffic light” feedback (green, yellow or red) to each test or series of tests. The set up of the traffic light settings is made by the doctor responsible for the system configuration.
spirobank II   User’s Manual cod. 980200  Rev 2.2    Page 16 of 60 spirobank II is able to make FVC, VC & IVC, MVV and breathing profile tests, and calculates an index of  test acceptability (quality control) plus the reproducibility of the spirometry tests carried  out.  The  automatic  test  interpretation  follows  the  latest  11  level  ATS  (American Thoracic Society) classification. Each test can be repeated as required. The best parameters are always available for review. The normal (predicted) values can be selected from several normal “sets”. For example, within the European Union the majority of doctors use the ERS (European Respiratory Society) predicted values.  Oximetry function The oximetry sensor has 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 heamoglobin. The quantity of light absorbed, at each frequency, depends on the  degree of oxygenation  of  the haemoglobin inside the  soft tissue.  This measurement  principal  ensures  accuracy  and  reproducibility,  without  requiring  regular calibration.  The oximetry sensor can be disinfected with isopropilic alcohol.  The operating battery is a 3V lithium battery, and the battery life is about 5 years, depending on the use of the device.  1.6  Technical specifications  A  comprehensive  description  of  the  main  features  of  the  device,  the  flow  and  volume measurement turbine and also of the oximetry sensor follows:  1.6.1  Features of the spirometer Measured parameters: SYMBOL  DESCRIPTION  Units *FVC  Best FVC  L *FEV1  Best FEV1  L *PEF  Best PEF  L/s FVC  Forced Vital Capacity  L FEV1  Volume expired in the 1st second of the test  L FEV1%  FEV1/FVC x 100  % FEV1/VC%  FEV1/VC x 100  % PEF  Peak expiratory flow  L/s FEF2575  Average flow between 25% and 75% of the FVC  L/s FEF25  Forced Expiratory Flow at 25% of FVC  L/s FEF50  Forced Expiratory Flow at 50% of FVC  L/s FEF75  Forced Expiratory Flow at 75% of FVC  L/s FEV6  Volume expired in the initial 6 seconds of the test  L FEV6%  FEV1/FEV6 x 100  % FET  Forced expiratory time  s VEXT  Extrapolated volume  mL FIVC  Forced inspiratory volume  L

To  access  the  calibration  function,  select  the  “Turbine  Calibration”  option  from  the Service Menu with the horizontal scroll key and then press OK. The following screen appears:  VOL. 300   BTPS    %Corr. Old FVC  300    0.00 Old FIVC  300    0.00 New FVC  000    New FIVC       FVC=0 FACTORY CALIBRATION  The Old FVC and the Old FIVC values now shown are the ones from the last calibration. The values under the %Corr. column indicate the correction factor. These are pre-set or 0 by default.  To make the calibration: 1 - Insert the volume in cL of the calibration syringe in use (e.g. for a 3L syringe, insert 300 cL). 2  -  Insert  both  the  FVC  and  FIVC  values,  obtained  by  the  measurement  made  with  the calibration syringe, in the New FVC and New FIVC field.  Press  to select the value to be modified (SIRIN, New FVC, New FIVC).  Use  or  to modify the parameter value selected. Insert both the FVC and the FIVC values. If the calculated correction factors are acceptable (<10%), they are displayed beside the New FVC and New FIVC parameters. The message ENTER OK TO CONFIRM will appear. Press ESC to return to the Service Menu without entering the correction. If the FVC  and  FIVC  values  produce  a  correction factor  that  is  >10%,  the  FVC  and FIVC values  will  not  be  accepted.  This  means  that  the  system  cannot  correct  for  such  a  large calibration error.

Connect the unit to a PC  using  either the USB cable or  the RS 232 serial cable. spirobank II thus acts as an intelligent sensor for flow and volume measurement while the PC controls functions, including the switching on and off of the unit. Connected  to  a  portable  PC,  spirobank  II  can  carry  out  epidemiologic  studies  in  work environments, school settings etc.. As well as the standard spirometric parameters and F/V curves in real time, the instrument also  calculates  more  refined  indices  such  as  the  ventilatory  profile  and  the  extrapolated volume (Vext). The PC software also allows the latest bronchial challenge test protocols, with the graph of the FEV1 dose-response and time-response curves.  !!' $ !( $ !!' $ !( $ !!' $ !( $ !!' $ !( $  ;<% spirobank II%   )                 2.8  Spirometry Testing  To make a correct spirometry test we recommend to follow carefully the following instructions:  •  Insert the mouthpiece into the protruding part of the turbine, by at least 0.5 cm; •  Fit the nose clip onto the nose of the subject to ensure that air cannot escape through the nostrils; •  Hold spirobank II at either end in two hands, or alternatively hold it in one hand as you would a cell phone. In either case, the display should be facing the user; •  Insert the mouthpiece well into the mouth beyond the teeth, being careful to ensure that air cannot escape from the sides of the mouth; •  It is suggested to make testing in a standing position and during an expiration to lean forward, to help the expiratory action with a compression of the abdomen.  !!' $ !( $ !!' $ !( $ !!' $ !( $ !!' $ !( $   0 "% 

When ready to start inspire slowly as much air as possible (made easier by holding arms wide apart) and  then make  a  complete  expiration  as  fast  as possible.  Then  with  the mouthpiece always held firmly in the mouth, complete the cycle by inspiring again as quickly as possible. This final inspiration may be left out if the inspiratory parameters (FIVC, FIV1, FIV1%, PIF) are not of interest. The optional initial inspiration phase can also be performed before inserting the mouthpiece in the mouth. After inspiring  slowly and  deeply, the  following expiration  must be made  with  the maximum effort by expiring all air as fast as possible. After 6 seconds of expiration the instrument will emit a continuous beep, this helps the user to understand when the minimum expiry time has been reached.  !!' $ !( $  !!' $ !( $  !!' $ !( $  !!' $ !( $   A  ) The test may be repeated several times by repeating the cycle without taking the mouthpiece out of the  mouth, in  which case spirobank  II recognises the best test  (FVC+FEV1) and will automatically show the results of this best test.
spirobank II   User’s Manual cod. 980200  Rev 2.2    Page 34 of 60 To end the test press OK. During the test spirobank II emits "beeps", the frequency of which is directly proportional to the inspired and expired air velocity. This is useful to the doctor to understand when the velocity of the air is approaching zero, and therefore the patient has almost exhausted all of the inspired or expired volume. In the maintenance section an explanation is given as to how this feature can also function as a very simple check system for the correct operation of the mobile “rotor” of the turbine. For the FVC test to be judged as acceptable, besides breathing as deep as possible, it is also required  that  the  forced  expiratory  time  (FET)  is  sufficiently  long  to  allow  for  the  complete expiration of all air contained in the lungs.  Six seconds from the start of the forced expiratory test, spirobank II emits a continuous beep. This is useful to the doctor to understand if the patient has reached the minimum expiry time, as per the requirements of the major international pneumology associations.  2.8.2  VC Test Ventilatory Profile The Slow Vital Capacity test can be started by carrying out several complete breaths at rest. After three or four such breaths a beep will sound to confirm that the  ventilatory profile has been measured and now you can proceed to carry out the VC or IVC test.  Expiratory Slow Vital Capacity: VC After the beep inspire slowly as much air as possible and then expire slowly as much air as possible.  Inspiratory Slow Vital Capacity: IVC After the beep expire slowly as much air as possible and then inspire slowly as much air as possible. To end the test press OK.  To correctly carry out this test, follow the indications as described on the display.  2.8.3  MVV Test Start  the  test  by  carrying  out  a  series  of  forced  inspirations  and  expirations  with  the maximum possible amplitude. The suggested frequency is 30 breaths/min. The test will terminate automatically after 12 seconds.   2.8.4  Reading messages At the end of a test, a series of test messages are displayed followed by the measured parameters.

spirobank II   User’s Manual cod. 980200  Rev 2.2    Page 35 of 60 If for 6 seconds no key is pressed then the unit moves automatically to the next message or parameter.  2.8.5  Spirometry test interpretation Spirometry  test  interpretation  is  based  on  the  Forced  Vital  Capacity  (FVC)  test  and  is indicated both by a message and a traffic light code (green, yellow, red). For each test made, an arrow on the upper left part of the screen indicates the interpretation of that test. The connection between the traffic light colour and the test interpretation is shown below:    The algorithm utilized for the  spirometry test interpretation is  obtained  by means of  the flow chart in annex 3 of this manual. Through an analysis applied to some of the indices and parameters calculated in the FVC test,  spirobank  II  produces  a  variety  of  quality  control  comments  useful  for understanding the reliability of the test made. Where several comments related to the single test are calculated, spirobank  II will only show the most important to facilitate the test interpretation.   ERROR IN Vext and PEFT If the extrapolated volume Vext is greater than 500 mL or greater than 5% of the FVC, or if the  PEFT  (time  to  peak  flow)  is  greater  than  300  ms,  then  the  following  comment  is shown: FIRST EXPIRATION TOO SLOW FLOW DROP 50% If the flow  rate falls and  then increases again by over 50% during the first  second of  a forced expiry, the following comment is shown: COUGH DETECTED DURING TEST FET error If FET is under the predicted threshold the following message appears:  EXPIRY TIME INSUFFICENT <6S FLOW ERROR If  the  last  flow  point  of  the  F/V  curve  is  greater  than  200  mL/s,  this  indicates  that  the expiration was not complete and thus the following comment is shown: BLOW OUT ALL AIR IN LUNGS Between two tests, spirobank II evaluates the reproducibility of the following parameters:

The operations to perform periodically are:   •  Cleaning and controlling of the reusable turbine. •  Changing the disposable turbine before each test. •  Cleaning of the oximetry sensor (for reusable sensors). • Changing the adhesive tape of the oximetry wrap sensor. •  Changing the battery.  The maintenance operations described in the  User’s Manual  must be  carried out  carefully. Failing to observe the instructions may cause errors in measurement or in the interpretation of the measured values. Modifications,  adjustments,  repairs,  and  reconfiguration  must  be  carried  out  by  the manufacturer or by authorised persons. In case of problems do not attempt to repair the unit. The setting  of  configuration  parameters  must be  carried  out  by  qualified  personnel. In  any case the risks pertaining to incorrect configuration settings do not constitute a danger for the patient.  4.1  Cleaning and controlling the reusable turbine  The  turbine  utilized  by  spirobank  II  belongs  to  one  of  two  categories:  disposable  and reusable. These 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).

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  reaching  the stop, which ensures that the tube has been blocked inside the casing.   4.2  Changing the adhesive tape of the wrap sensor  The adhesive tape is made with latex-free material.  •  Gently remove the used adhesive tape from the sensor and dispose of it. •  The  back  of  the  sensor  has  alignment  pins.
