Oximetry Testing
WARNING
Check if the oximetry function is available in the device, this function is an option in some models.
Spirodoc is able to perform 3 different types of oximetry tests, which will be described in the following paragraphs.
WARNING
The oximetry sensor used in the manual is only one of the different types of sensors which can be used listed in paragraph
1.2.4. MIR does not recommend any particular sensor; the doctor will chose the sensor which she/he believes to be more
suitable.
During oximetry testing the Spirodoc cannot be turned off. To turn off the device the oximetry test must be stopped first.
This has been implemented so as to avoid any unwanted interruptions which could compromise the accuracy of the data.
For the non-invasive measurement of SpO
recommended for patients weighing more than 20 Kg while remaining still during testing. For the 6 minute walk test other types of
sensors are recommended which are less influenced by the movement of the hand.
To carry out an oximetry test:
•
Connect the sensor to the device: 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 the 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 cannot be placed properly inside the sensor try another finger.
•
Place the sensor so that the cable rests on the back of the hand. This ensures that
the light source rests. On the side of the nail and the reader on the lower part of
the hand.

If instead the following message appears:
This means that the oximetry function is included, however the internal application has yet to be enabled. In this case please contact a
service center or the manufacturer.
