MicroLab Spirometer
The future of portable spirometry
All the unit's features can be easily accessed by simply touching the chosen function's corresponding icon. This, together with fast textual data entry using a stylus or the optional MicroMouse makes the system's use highly intuitive.Highly portable and beautifully designed, the new generation MicroLab has been developed for the professional. Employing Micro Medical's acclaimed precision GOLD STANDARD Digital Volume Transducer (especially suited to measuring very low flow rates in patients with COPD) the instrument has a wide angle, high-resolution colour touch-screen.
A quiet and very fast printer with easy-load paper mechanism is integrated. The printout can be fully customised and can also be linked directly to external printers.
Equipped with many advanced functions the MicroLab is fully compatible with CareFusion's Spirometry PC Software (SPCS) - the worlds' most comprehensive Spirometry PC software package - and meets all international standards for performance and accuracy. There are over 40,000 Micro Medical MicroLab Spirometers in use around the world; this new generation model is truly the most advanced portable Spirometer
Gold Standard Transducer
The Gold Standard transducer from Micro Medical gives the most precise volume and flow measurements for Asthma and COPD patients. Especially effective at low flows, it complies with all current ATS (12) and other recognised international standards for accuracy. This means that Micro Medical's world beating spirometers are the definitive benchmark for accurate respiratory measurement bar none
