Carefusion/Micro Medical have been developing spirometers for over 20 years. They were the first company to use a turbine in their spirometer . Their accuracy is unaffected by temperature, humidity and very importantly air pressure. Micro Medical spirometers can be used anywhere in the world without need for re-calibration. 

Vitalograph with a pioneering heritage of excellence spanning half a century is UK based and designs, manufactures and markets respiratory diagnostic and therapeutic products throughout the world. Their products and services are used in clinical trials, primary care, occupational health, sports medicine, asthma management, emergency services and hospitals.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by airflow obstruction. The airflow obstruction is usually progressive, not fully reversible, does not change markedly over several months and is predominantly caused by smoking. 

The NICE guidelines recommend that spirometry is performed on patients over the age of 35 who have a risk factor (generally smoking) and who present with exertion breathlessness, chronic cough, regular sputum production, frequent winter ‘bronchitis’ or wheeze. The presence of airflow obstruction should be confirmed by performing spirometry.

Spirometry helps differentiate COPD from asthma and allows for assessment of severity and treatment of COPD. It can also assist in the diagnosis of other causes of dyspnoea.
