MIR spirometers: which one to choose?

What are the differences?

The real differences between Mir spirometer models lie in the software connection and the ability to operate autonomously. The first step is to determine the environment in which the device will be used. What’s more, if spirometry is only performed in the office or in a hospital ward, the Minispir New with USB cable connection may be all you need. Particularly if the layout of the consultation area is suitable and allows direct connection to the PC via USB cable.

Mir spirometers for professionals all work with WinspiroPro software. Except for the Spirobank II Smart, which works on its own or with the Mir Spiro App on tablets or smartphones.

Portable spirometers

On the other hand, if the spirometer is to be used for consultation at home or outside the PC room, a portable model will be required. As a result, the doctor can read the results directly on the Spirobank or Spirodoc model’s small screen. Similarly, he can download data from outside consultations to WinspiroPro software once back at the office. Afterwards, they can be stored in the patient file and printed out as required.

As mentioned above, the Spirobank II Smart is the model connected to an IOS or Android tablet via Bluetooth. It’s very useful for spirometry tests, with access to values, curves, etc. directly on the screen, without the hassle of a laptop.

Last but not least, Spirodoc stands out from other portable MIR spirometers for the scope of its oximetry option. In fact, all portable spirometers are available with an oximetry option. But Spirodoc is the only one that can perform night-time oximetry and gait tests. What’s more, the head that holds the spirometry turbine can become detached. To ensure maximum compactness for long-term oximetry tests.

MIR Spirolab New

The Spirolab New is Mir’s desktop model. It prints the test directly on paper, thanks to its built-in printer. Of course, it can also be connected directly to WinispiroPro on a PC. Via USB cable or Bluetooth. Like Mir Spirobank II Advanced or Spirodoc spirometers.
