Micro Medical SpiroUSB Operating Manual Issue 1.2 June 2006

Introduction The SpiroUSB is a PC connected spirometer dedicated to work with the comprehensive Spida 5 spirometry software. Spida 5 is a fully Windows™ compatible spirometry system that interfaces seamlessly with the SpiroUSB providing many display options and includes powerful reporting and database facilities. Spida 5 has many advanced features including display of real time respiratory traces, predicted values, patient database, and the ability to carry out pre and post bronchodilator and post steroid testing. The SpiroUSB uses the Micro Medical Digital Volume Transducer, an extremely stable form of volume transducer, which measures expired air directly at B.T.P.S (Body Temperature and Pressure with Saturated water vapour) thus avoiding the inaccuracies of temperature corrections. This transducer is insensitive to the effects of condensation and temperature and avoids the need for individual calibration prior to performing a test.

Installing Spida 5 Spida 5 spirometry PC software is supplied on CD ROM with your SpiroUSB. Install Spida 5 according to the instructions in the Spida 5 quick start guide.

Installing SpiroUSB Device Driver The driver enables Micro Medical Ltd USB devices to work with USB enabled PC software on Windows based machines.

Compatibility Status There are two versions of the USB driver. The driver used depends on the Operating System you are using. There is a driver for Windows 98/ME Operating systems and a driver for Windows 2000/XP Operating Systems. The following operating systems are supported: • • • • •

Windows 98 SE (Second Edition) Windows ME (Millennium Edition) Windows 2000 Professional Windows XP Home Edition Windows XP Professional

The driver will not be supported under Windows 95, Windows 98 Gold (First Edition) or Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, as USB is not officially supported on these Operating Systems.

Driver Installation – Windows 98/ME Connect the device to a free USB port on the PC, the blue LED at the top of the device should light up to indicate that the device is powered on. The Add New Hardware wizard will automatically begin:

Operation Simply connect the SpiroUSB to a spare USB port on your PC with the supplied Spida 5 software installed. Spida 5 will automatically detect that the SpiroUSB has been connected to a USB port and will run, ready for you to start your spirometry session. There is no need to remove the SpiroUSB between sessions. Please note that with certain PC configurations, even if a compatible operating system is being used, Spida 5 may not be launched automatically when the SpiroUSB is plugged in. In this case Spida 5 may be run in the usual way using the Windows on-screen Start button. The SpiroUSB transducer is supplied with a two-meter cable. If this length is insufficient then a remote USB hub should be used. Remote USB hubs are readily available from computer accessory suppliers. For some recent computers the USB signal will work over a longer distance using an extension cable. An extension cable has been supplied for your convenience, if required. If communication problems are encountered using the extension cable then a remote USB hub must be used.

Looking after your SpiroUSB Spirometer Please observe the following precautions: • Avoid exposing the SpiroUSB to direct sunlight during use. • Avoid operating the spirometer in dusty conditions or near to heating appliances or radiators. • Do not keep the spirometer in a damp place or expose it to extremes of temperature. • Do not direct the transducer holder towards a strong light source whilst operating the spirometer.

Cleaning the Transducer The transducer requires no routine maintenance or servicing. However, if you wish to sterilise or clean the transducer it may be removed by means of the following procedure: 1 Rotating the turbine transducer anti-clockwise until the locating pip lines up with the small rectangular cut-out in the housing as shown below. 2 Gently pull the transducer away from the housing. 3 The transducer may now be immersed in warm soapy water for routine cleaning or immersed in a cold sterilising solution e.g. Perasafe for a maximum of 10 minutes (Alcohol and chloride solutions should be avoided). After cleaning/sterilising, the transducer should be rinsed briefly in distilled water and dried. Perasafe is available from Micro Medical in convenient 81g containers, Cat No. SSC5000. 4 Re-assemble the mouthpiece holder.
