Medical International Research · Model Spirotel
Touchscreen is easy to use. Triaxial Accelerometer with movement analysis. Embedded step counter to measure physical activity, values such as the distance traveled during a test, VMUs (Vector Magnitude Units), and body position during sleep can all be estimated. Electronic Diary of symptoms for monitoring home therapy. This helps the patient fill out default or custom questionaires and reports, which can be used to assess his/her health and to communicate with healthcare professionals. "Traffic Light" system, questionnaire, and reminders to help the patient. Flexibility: Integration with numerous protocols. Customized software and hardware. Extended Memory: Stores up to 10,000 spirometric curves. Small Size: Usable in any situation and easy to transport. Rechargeable Battery: Durability and usability inspires confidence. Connectivity: Analytical results can be sent via the USB cable to any PC, even when the patient is traveling. A software application then extracts the data and sends it to the server.

Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Will not power on
- Confirm the outlet, mains lead and fuse.
- Try on battery, then on mains only, to isolate the supply.
- Look for a power indicator or POST code.
- Replace the fuse / battery / power supply as isolated.
- Run the self-test after any repair.
Symptom: Fails self-test or calibration
- Note the exact failure message / code.
- Power-cycle and repeat the self-test.
- Verify against a reference / simulator where one applies.
- Recalibrate per the service manual.
- Refer the affected board for service if it will not hold calibration.
