22. If the flowhead is removed from the Micro Spirometer (when
disassembling for cleaning and/or to attach the remote flowhead
adapter), care should be taken with the exposed edges. During
normal use, these edges are covered, are not accessible by the
user or subject.
23. Use of accessories and cables other than those specified or
provided by the manufacturer for this equipment could result in
increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased
electromagnetic immunity of the device and result in improper
operation.
24. Non-medical equipment must be kept outside the subject
environment i.e., any area in which intentional or unintentional
contact between the subject and parts of the system, or some
other persons touching part of the system, can occur.
25. Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals
such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used
no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the device,
including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise,
degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
26. Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment should be avoided because it could result in improper
operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other
equipment should be observed to verify they are operating
normally.
27. Avoid exposure to known sources of EMI (Electromagnetic
Interference) such as diathermy, lithotripsy, electrocautery, RFID
(Radio Frequency Identification), and electromagnetic security
systems such as anti-theft/electronic article surveillance
systems, metal detectors. Note that the presence of RFID
devices may not be obviously. If such interference is suspected,
reposition the equipment, if possible, to maximize distances.
28. This device is ‘MR Unsafe’do not use it in an MRI environment.
29. The applied part is the flowhead and device body. These, along
with the SpiroSafe Filter, are the contact points for the subject
during a spirometry session. There are no adverse effects if the
subject comes into contact with any other part of the device.
3. Main Components of the Micro Spirometer
The Micro is a standalone spirometer. Device Studio software allows the
Micro Spirometer to generate reports to a computer after testing is
complete but is not required for the device to function.
The main components of the Micro Spirometer are:
