Frequently asked questions
Does it feature a bi-directional digital turbine sensor?
Yes, the MIR Minispir Spirometer utilizes a high-quality bi-directional digital turbine flow sensor for precise real-time respiratory measurements.
This advanced sensor setup is complemented by an integrated semiconductor temperature sensor (with a range of 0 to 45 °C), which is crucial for accurate BTPS conversion (Body Temperature, Pressure, Saturated).
The system provides high accuracy for clinical use:
- Volume Accuracy: ± 3% or 50 mL
- Flow Accuracy: ± 5% or 200 mL/s
- Dynamic Resistance at 12 L/s: < 0.5 cmH₂O/L/s
This precision is key to performing comprehensive testing, including crucial PRE/POST bronchodilator comparisons.
Is the spirometer powered only by USB?
Yes, the MIR Minispir Spirometer is powered directly by the USB connection to your PC. This design eliminates the need for a separate power source, display, or internal memory, contributing to its low-maintenance nature.
Is comprehensive WinspiroPRO software included?
Yes, the MIR Minispir Spirometer includes the powerful WinspiroPRO CD software.
Since this is a PC-based device powered via USB, the software is central to its operation, providing real-time data visualization and analysis. It is compatible with Windows XP through 10.
Key features of the WinspiroPRO software include:
- Extensive Testing: Supports comprehensive protocols including FVC, VC, MVV, and Pre/Post Bronchodilator comparisons.
- Advanced Diagnostics: Provides Lung Age Estimation (ELA) and supports specialized Methacoline/mannitol provocation tests.
- Pediatric Incentives: Includes engaging pediatric incentive animations to improve patient cooperation.
- Data Export: Allows easy export of results into standard formats like Word, Excel, and PDF.
- Real-Time Display: Visualizes Flow/Volume loops and Volume/Time curves directly on your connected PC screen.
Does the spirometer measure comprehensive parameters?
Yes, the MIR Minispir Spirometer is designed for complete respiratory analysis and measures an extensive list of over 20 spirometry parameters, enabling detailed clinical assessment and interpretation.
Key Test Types Supported:
- FVC (Forced Vital Capacity)
- VC/IVC (Slow/Inspiratory Vital Capacity)
- MVV (Maximum Voluntary Ventilation)
- PRE/POST Bronchodilator Comparison
Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities:
The device, coupled with the WinspiroPRO software, offers unique features for advanced testing:
- Provocation Tests: Supports Methacoline and mannitol challenge testing.
- Lung Age Estimation (ELA): Provides a valuable metric for patient counseling.
- Real-Time Data: Displays real-time flow/volume loops and volume/time curves directly on the connected PC.
- Pediatric Use: Includes dedicated pediatric incentive animations to help ensure patient compliance.
What is the volume accuracy of the MIR Minispir Spirometer?
The volume accuracy of the MIR Minispir Spirometer is ± 3% or 50 mL.
Can the MIR Minispir Spirometer be used for pre and post bronchodilator comparison?
Yes, the MIR Minispir Spirometer can be used for pre/post bronchodilator comparison with a wide range of selectable parameters.
