The MIR Spirolab portable desktop device includes a touchscreen, thermal printer, and oximetry options to support respiratory diagnostics in multiple healthcare environments.
RT’s Three Key Takeaways:
- Portable Diagnostic Design: The all-in-one spirometer features a rechargeable battery and internal memory, making it suitable for mobile testing and various clinical settings.
- Standalone Functionality: Equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen and thermal printer, the device allows clinicians to perform tests and generate reports without an external computer.
- System Compatibility: The device integrates with electronic medical record (EMR) and electronic healthcare record (EHR) systems via multiple data exchange protocols.
MIR offers the Spirolab, a desktop spirometer designed to provide testing capabilities across various healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, physician offices, and rural health centers. The device is engineered to function as a standalone unit, allowing respiratory professionals to perform diagnostics without the need for a secondary computer.
The unit features a 7-inch color touchscreen and an embedded thermal printer for immediate test reporting. It is compliant with American Thoracic Society (ATS) and European Respiratory Society (ERS) standards for accuracy, according to MIR.
Designed for both mobile and stationary use, the Spirolab includes a long-lasting rechargeable lithium battery and internal memory capable of storing up to 10,000 spirometry tests or 500 hours of oximetry data. The system also includes an integrated temperature sensor for automatic body temperature pressure saturated (BTPS) conversion.
Clinical features of the device include forced vital capacity (FVC), vital capacity (VC), maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV), and pre- and post-bronchodilator comparisons. To assist with patient compliance, the device provides real-time animations for pediatric incentive on the display.
The system integrates with electronic medical record (EMR) and electronic healthcare record (EHR) systems through MIR Spiro software. This connectivity supports various integration protocols, including HL7, GDT, FHIR, and Exchange Protocol, according to MIR.
The Spirolab is available with an optional oximetry sensor to detect blood oxygen saturation. It can utilize either a disposable, factory-calibrated turbine flowmeter or a reusable turbine flowmeter with a metal mesh. Additional features include a traffic light system for test results and a wide selection of predicted values, including Global Lung Function Initiative (GLI) and ERS standards.
