Spirolab: A Complete Device for Pulmonary Function Testing and Oximetry
The Spirolab by Mir is a portable spirometer designed to perform spirometry and oximetry tests quickly and reliably. This high-quality device is intended for healthcare professionals to measure patients' respiratory function in a variety of clinical settings. The Spirolab allows pulmonary function tests for patients of all ages, although it is not suitable for infants and newborns. Its compact and lightweight design makes it ideal for ambulatory use, in medical offices, or in hospitals.
It provides measurements for several key respiratory parameters, including forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), peak expiratory flow (PEF), as well as the maximum voluntary ventilation (VVM) test, allowing a comprehensive assessment of pulmonary function. Additionally, it can perform bronchial provocation or bronchodilation tests by comparing pre- and post-medication results, facilitating the monitoring of patients with respiratory conditions.
One of the main advantages of the Spirolab is its standalone operation, but it can also be connected to a computer via USB or Bluetooth for data storage and analysis. The device allows for the recording of approximately 10,000 spirometry tests or 500 hours of oximetry data, making long-term patient follow-up easier.
The Spirolab uses a turbine to measure the expiratory airflow rate and volume, ensuring accurate results even during low-flow tests. Users can choose between a disposable or reusable turbine, catering to various clinical needs. This sensor is unaffected by humidity and gas density, making it especially suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions. The turbine is designed to be durable and shock-resistant, and it does not require regular calibration, simplifying maintenance.
The Spirolab's oximetry function is another important feature. The oximetry sensor, which measures blood oxygen saturation, uses light-emitting diode (LED) technology to assess the oxygen concentration in tissues. This process guarantees precise and reproducible measurements without frequent calibration. Oximetry is especially useful for patients with respiratory and cardiac conditions, providing a quick snapshot of their health status.
In terms of technical specifications, the Spirolab is equipped with a 7-inch color touchscreen with a resolution of 800x480, a rechargeable battery offering up to 10 hours of autonomy, and a weight of just 1,450 g, making it highly portable. It also offers several connectivity options, including USB and Bluetooth, providing maximum flexibility for data management and transmission to other devices. In terms of safety, it complies with IEC 60601-1 and ISO 23747 standards, ensuring its effectiveness and safety for use in medical environments.
With its features and ease of use, the Spirolab by Mir is an ideal device for respiratory testing. It is perfectly suited for use in various clinical environments, whether for routine tests or more complex assessments requiring detailed results.
