INTRODUCTION 1.1 1.1.1 Intended Use 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 6 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 spirobank II User’s Manual cod. 980200 ' $ + , -.* ' $ + , + , -.-./ Rev 2.2 Page 7 of 60 spirobank II 1 2 #3 / #' ' & '0 & 4 0 '5 & '* !!' $ !

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 crosscontamination, 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 antibacterial 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 !!' $ ! ( $ spirobank II User’s Manual cod. 980200 Rev 2.2 Page 8 of 60 The following information applies to both turbine models. The turbine must never be held under a jet of water or air and must never come into contact with high temperature fluids. 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. 1.2.3 Mouthpiece Any disposable mouthpieces included with the device are supplied only as a guide to the correct type and dimensions of the mouthpiece required for this device, they are clean but not sterile. To purchase appropriate mouthpieces, generally either paper or plastic, but in any case mono-use/disposable, we suggest that you contact your local distributor who supplied the spirometer !!' $ ! ( $ The user is responsible for obtaining the correct type of mouthpieces for the device. Those required are a standard type with an outside diameter of 30 mm, they are commonly used and in general easily procured. 1.2.4 Oximetry sensor The oximetry sensors which can be used with spirobank II are the following: • • • • • • • • BCI 1300 adult sensor (disposable) BCI 1310 reusable sensor BCI 3026 wrap-around sensor for infants BCI 3043 universal Y sensor BCI 3078 ear sensor BCI 3178 pediatric finger sensor, reusable BCI 3444 adult sensor reusable (Comfort Clip) BCI 3044 adult sensor, reusable, for finger. spirobank II User’s Manual cod. 980200 Rev 2.2 Page 9 of 60 Prolonged use and/or the patient’s condition may require changing the sensor site periodically. Change sensor site and check skin integrity, circulatory status, and correct alignment at least every 4 hours. !!' $ ! ( $ spirobank II () ;% !!' $ !

NOTE: This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. 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 14 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 15 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 *FVC Best FVC *FEV1 Best FEV1 *PEF Best PEF FVC Forced Vital Capacity st FEV1 Volume expired in the 1 second of the test FEV1% FEV1/FVC x 100 FEV1/VC% FEV1/VC x 100 PEF Peak expiratory flow FEF2575 Average flow between 25% and 75% of the FVC FEF25 Forced Expiratory Flow at 25% of FVC FEF50 Forced Expiratory Flow at 50% of FVC FEF75 Forced Expiratory Flow at 75% of FVC FEV6 Volume expired in the initial 6 seconds of the test FEV6% FEV1/FEV6 x 100 FET Forced expiratory time VEXT Extrapolated volume FIVC Forced inspiratory volume spirobank II User’s Manual cod. 980200 Rev 2.2 L/s L/s L/s L/s L/s L/s mL Units Page 16 of 60 st FIV1 FIV1% PIF MVVcal VC IVC IC ERV TV VE RR tI tE TV/tI tI/Ttot MVV Volume inspired in the 1 second of the test FIV 1 % Peak inspiratory flow Maximum voluntary ventilation calculated on FEV1 Slow vital capacity (expiratory) Slow inspiratory vital capacity Inspiratory capacity Expiratory reserve volume Current volume Ventilation per minute, at rest Respiratory frequency Average time of inspiration, at rest Average time of expiration, at rest Average flow of inspiration, at rest tE/(tI+tE) Maximum voluntary ventilation L/s L/s L/min Breath/min L/min L/min * = best values Flow/volume measurement system Temperature sensor Measurement principle Volume range Flow range Volume accuracy Flow accuracy Dynamic resistance at 12 L/s 1.6.2 Bi-directional digital turbine semiconductor (0-45°C) Infrared interruption 10 L ± 16 L/s ± 3% or 50 mL ± 5% or 200 mL/s <0.5 cmH2O/L/s Features of the oximeter Definitions: Desaturation events SpO2 fall >= 4% in a limited period of 8-40 sec and successive rise > = 2% within a total period of 150 sec. rate Pulse rate rise >= 10 BPM in limited period of 8-40 sec and successive fall >=8 BPM during a total period of 150 sec.

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. !!' $ ! ( $ spirobank II User’s Manual cod. 980200 Rev 2.2 Page 32 of 60 On the main screen press corresponding to Then these icons are shown: FVC VC icon. MVV SPO2 Press the key corresponding to the test required: FVC VC MVV SPO2 Forced Vital Capacity Slow Vital Capacity Maximum Voluntary Ventilation Oximetry/Heart beat The device displays the information regarding the turbine selected in the initial setting (reusable or single-patient disposable), there follows the necessary information for each screen in order to correctly carry out a test. 2.8.1 FVC Test The phases as described on the screen must be followed, more specifically: INSPIRE slowly EXPIRE quickly INSPIRE slowly It is possible (and may be helpful) to start the test by breathing at rest for a few moments. 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. !!' $ ! ( $ 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 33 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. There follows first a description of these messages and the parameters, in the order in which they appear. spirobank II User’s Manual cod. 980200 Rev 2.2 Page 34 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: spirobank II User’s Manual cod. 980200 Rev 2.2 Page 35 of 60 repeatible if ∆PEF < 10 % repeatible if ∆FVC < 150 mL repeatible if ∆FEV1 < 150 mL PEF FVC FEV1 2.8.6 Viewing the spirometric parameters Following an FVC test, the spirometry test results are shown. The first screen displays the main parameters FVC, FEV1, FE1%, PEF, the percentage of the predicted values, the Flow/Volume chart plus a traffic light summary of the test interpretation (in the upper left part), as illustrated below. The following screens show other values compared to the predicted values. 2.9 Oximetry testing spirobank II can carry out 4 different types of oximetry tests, which are described in the following paragraphs. !!' $ !

This sensor is recommended for patients weighing > 20 Kg with limited activity. spirobank II memorises the two oximetry values every 2 seconds. Carry out an oximetry test as follows: • Connect the sensor to the instrument: insert the connector with the arrow (printed on the connector) face-up, as shown: • • Choose a high perfusion site, easily adaptable to the sensor. Insert finger into the sensor until the finger touches the end of the probe. Ensure that the bottom part of the finger completely covers the detector. If the finger is not able to be correctly positioned, use another finger. • Position the sensor so that the cable is underneath the palm of the hand. This enables the light source to remain on the fingernail and the detector on the bottom part of the finger. From the main screen press to access the test menu. Press to access oximetry. • • If this message appears: WARNING THE OXIMETRY DEVICE IS NOT AVAILABLE your instrument does not include an oximeter.

MAINTENANCE spirobank II is an instrument that requires very little maintenance. 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). 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. spirobank II User’s Manual cod. 980200 Rev 2.2 Page 47 of 60 !!' $ ! ( $ 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. Immerse the turbine in a cold sterilising liquid and move it within the liquid to remove any impurities which may be deposited inside. Leave it to soak for at least the time recommended by the producer of the cleaning solution, as shown in the relevant instructions (in general at least 20 minutes). 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 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. Place the sensor with the alignment pins facing the adhesive part of the tape and align the pins to the holes on the tape. spirobank II User’s Manual cod. 980200 Rev 2.2 Page 48 of 60 • Push the sensor so as to insert the pins into the holes of the tape. Lift both the sensor and the tape and check that the pins of the sensor are correctly aligned. 4.3 Changing the Batteries If the message "BATTERY DISCHARGED" appears on spirobank II display, or if the instrument does not switch on, the batteries inside the compartment shown here under must be changed as per the following points: • • • • Remove the back cover by pressing and pushing it away from the device. Remove the discharged batteries. Replace with new batteries, inserting them properly into the slots. Close the battery compartment by replacing the back cover and sliding it towards the inside of the device. !!' $ !
