Pause

If the valve does not move for more than 10 – 15 seconds
the device will switch to P (Pause) mode. This means the
training has been interrupted. Reasons for this could be: the
respiration is to shallow or the respiration bag is too big. To
continue the training, just start breathing into the device
again. If the training is not continued within 5 minutes, the
device interrupts the training and returns to the start menu.

Failure notice / Alarm (AL)

In a case of repeated disregard of training notices the de­vice will automatically shut o󰀨 and displays AL as an abbre-
viation of „alarm”.

• After 30 seconds the device resumes the training automa­tically.

• In case the device consistently shuts down due to alarms,

• then a possible device set-up change may have to take

• place.

• The acoustic alarm can be turned o󰀨 by pressing the
Enter key .

Respiration rate

Training time
(minutes : seconds)

The SpiroTiger® indicates every change from inspiration to

expiration with a short sound and change of the side of the

running arrows.

Place the mouthpiece in your mouth, take

a deep breath and start with the expiration

when the running arrows begin to move
upward.

When you hear the short sound start
breathing in. The running arrows are now
moving downwards.

Important: When a 0 (zero) respiration rate is selected only
the inspiration and expiration circles are indicated ( / ).
Training can take place at a completely self determining pace.
The training supervision remains active. At the end of the
training a respiration rate average is given and the total
respired volume.

Displays and messages during the training

During the training the device supervises the respiration
depth.

Optimal respiration depth

Breathe shallower!

Increase with the arrow the respiration
rate, or increase the bag size.

Breathe deeper!

Reduce with the arrow the respiration
rate, or decrease the bag size.

If the given pace is not maintained, the speed arrows appear:

Breathe faster! Breathe slower!
