      Eddie TaylorAug 14, 2025
      There are a couple of reasons why the battery in your Micro Direct Medical Equipment might not be holding a charge. It could be due to an exhausted battery, in which case you should replace the battery or return the unit for servicing. Alternatively, there may be a fault with the mains charger, and you may need to replace the mains charger.

    Why calibration procedure failed on Micro Direct MicroLab Medical Equipment?
    • H
      heatherlongAug 21, 2025
      There are several reasons why the calibration procedure might fail on your Micro Direct Medical Equipment: * The turbine may be faulty, so repeat the calibration procedure; if the problem persists, replace the turbine or return the unit for servicing. * The turbine might not be fitted tightly to the calibration syringe; ensure the syringe is fitted to the turbine, using an adapter if necessary. * The calibration syringe may not have an inspiratory seal, or the seal is leaking; ensure you are using the manufacturer's recommended syringe. * The shaft of the syringe is being pushed down; the syringe should be emptied and filled with one smooth stroke, avoiding pushing down on the shaft or banging at the end of each maneuver.

      Heather DayAug 25, 2025
      If the blow tracking ends abruptly on your Micro Direct Medical Equipment while the patient is still exhaling, the turbine may be sticking. Try cleaning the turbine in warm soapy water or a disinfecting solution. If the problem continues, a replacement turbine may be required.
