Who is it for?
The MIR Spirolab 4 Desktop spirometer is particularly valuable to pulmonologists, general practitioners treating large numbers of respiratory patients and respiratory therapists. This wireless and connected device allows specialists to gather accurate and specific short- and long-term data. The Spirolab 4 Desktop is a portable spirometer able to store up to 10,000 searchable results at any one time, transmitting this data to the PC via USB or Bluetooth® 2.1. Immediate printouts of results via the built-in silent printer can be added to paper files, while the included WinspiroPRO® software produces digital files for online patient dossiers.
Medicare Rebates
The MIR Spirolab spirometer complies with the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) for two items: #11505 and #11506. These recently created or amended items encourage the use of well-performed spirometry in general practice.
Patient Benefits
The MIR Spirolab IV Desktop features adult virtual assistant incentives and patented paediatric incentive animations with adjustable difficulty levels. On-screen animations engage the younger patient and encourage correct technique, producing accurate results in a notoriously difficult-to-measure group. Non-paediatric incentives increase compliance and result accuracy. This device’s ability to simultaneously carry out multiple tests reduces patient consultation time and airway test repetition. Patients can take home their results on paper printouts and are thus encouraged and reminded to continue therapy compliance.
Why the MIR Spirolab 4 Desktop spirometer?
The MIR Spirolab 4 Desktop accurately measures the following parameters:
FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, FEV1/VC, PEF, FEF25, FEF50, FEF75, FEF25–75, FEF75–85, Lung Age, Extrapolated Volume, FET, Time to PEF, FEV0.5, FEV0.5/FVC, FEV0.75, FEV0.75/FVC, FEV2, FEV2/FVC, FEV3, FEV3/FVC, FEV6, FEV1/FEV6, FEV1/PEF, FEV1/FEV0.5, FIVC, FIV1, FIV1/FIVC, PIF, FIF25, FIF50, FIF75, FEF50/FIF50, VC, IVC, IC, ERV, IRV, Rf, VE, VT, tI, tE, VT/ tI, tE/tTOT, MVV (measured) , MVV (calculated)
Real time Flow/Volume loops and Volume/Time curves (PC) allow for PRE/POST comparison, particularly of use in bronchodilator therapy evaluations in combination with WinspiroPRO® software. Bronchial Challenge testing is also possible (PC).
