6.4. The device does not measure spirometry at all
Check if any obstacle is blocking the free rotation of the turbine
For information about maintenance cleaning please refer to paragraph 4.3.4.1 of this manual.
The VC and MVV tests does not measure
– Control if in service menu the standard is set up on NANHES III, in this case the VC and MVV tests
does not work; thus set another author to make VC and MVV tests work
6.5. The device does not measure spirometry correctly
Check if any obstacle is disturbing the free rotation of the turbine.
For information about maintenance cleaning please refer to the paragraph 4.3.4.1 of this manual.
Check the accuracy with the calibration syringe.
– Make several tests FVC at different in/expiration speeds.
– Check the measured volume. It may differ ± 3% or 50 ml, depending on which value is bigger (i.e. using
a 3000-ml-syringe, the measured valued must be between 2910 and 3090 ml, using a 1000-ml-syringe,
between 950 and 1050 ml)
Check if a calibration has been made and if necessary recalibrate to original setting (see section Turbine
Calibration in the User Manual).
6.6. The device does not measure oximetry at all
Check if the devices is provided with the oximetry function or not
– Switch on the device and access to the service menu as described in the user manual. Select the voice
“info firmware” and check if there is shown the oximetry software version; if yes then the device has the
oximetry function, otherwise no.
6.7. The device does not measure oximetry correctly
Check the correct connection of the sensor
– The connector must be fully inserted in the plug
– Check if there is any damage on the cable connector
– Check the correct position of the sensor on the patient, see section regarding the oximetry tests on the
user manual
6.8. The data communication via USB does not function
Check the cables, if there is any visible damage.
