-
Unaffected by environmental conditions
-
Reliable and accurate measurement
-
Hygienic
FlowMIR® turbines are patented single-use devices by MIR – Medical International Research, specifically designed to ensure accurate, reliable, and safe spirometry measurements.
Ideal for maximum hygiene, these disposable turbines are the perfect solution for those seeking simplicity and convenience. Factory-calibrated and ready to use, they eliminate the need for further calibration, cleaning, or maintenance.
The integrated cardboard mouthpiece makes them even easier to handle, ensuring immediate usability in any setting. The turbines prevent direct contact between patient and device, and between different patients, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination.
While an antibacterial filter is not required due to their disposable nature, local regulations may vary and in some countries, its use may be mandatory to comply with safety standards.
Clinical Evidence
1) Published in 2023
“Comparison of Pneumotachometer and Portable Digital Turbine Spirometry for Field-Based Assessment: An Air Quality, Environment, and Respiratory Outcomes in Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia Study”
This study compared a MIR spirometer with a pneumotachograph. It concluded:
“The mean difference in FEV1 between the Pneumotrac and the MIR spirometer was 0.079 L (with 95% limits of agreement ranging from −0.141 to 0.298 L), and for FVC it was 0.075 L (with 95% limits of agreement from −0.171 to 0.322 L). These differences were relatively small and did not indicate any systematic or volume-dependent bias.”
The study concluded:
“Turbine spirometers may represent a promising and practical solution for conducting field-based pulmonary function tests in children.”
2) Published in 2020
“Comparison of a Portable Smart Spirometer Against Two Lab-Based Desktop Systems”
This study validated the Spirobank® smart spirometer with FlowMIR® turbine against two lab systems:
- NDD Easy on-PC
- Jaeger Masterscreen PFT
Conducted within the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, the study confirmed that Spirobank® smart produced clinically acceptable results, comparable to lab systems. The device proved useful for home monitoring, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when hospital visits were limited.
The conclusion stated that the intra-test coefficient of variation for Spirobank® smart was clinically acceptable and not significantly different from the other tested devices, confirming that MIR turbines support accurate and reliable measurements—even under remote supervision by healthcare professionals.
Compatibility
FlowMIR® is compatible with Minispir, Minispir Light, Spirolab, Spirodoc, Spirobank II Smart, Spirobank II Advanced, Spirobank II Basic.

Infection control
Choose the Neumofilt Ergo filter for additional protection!
With exceptional bacterial and viral filtration efficiency, this filter is the ideal choice to ensure maximum safety and protection in respiratory measurements.
The Neumofilt Ergo filter is designed to allow the patient to achieve a tight seal with the lips around the nozzle, preventing air leaks during testing. Its optimized resistance ensures smooth airflow, ensuring precise measurements without compromising patient comfort and measurement accuracy. Eliminate time spent on cleaning, eliminate the risk of cross-contamination. No special storage conditions are required.
