The MIR SmartOne\u00ae is a low-cost, home spirometer for self-monitoring that offers a basic level of lung function screening using Bluetooth technology to connect to a smart phone or tablet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is ideal for people who would benefit from home assessment of lung function, such as those with asthma, cystic fibrosis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using the SmartOne\u00ae app (iOS or Android) users can record PEF (peak expiratory flow- the maximum speed of the air exhaled as hard as possible after filling the lungs completely) and FEV1 ( volume of air expelled during the first second of the same exhalation) from the comfort of their own home in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The results can then be emailed electronically as a PDF to a health care professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The SmartOne\u00ae uses the same bi-directional digital turbine technology found in other MIR spirometers, offering a higher level of performance and accuracy than a conventional peak flow meter. It meets the ATS\/ERS 2019 standard as well as ISO 26782 (for Spirometry) and ISO 23747 (for PEF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to displaying the PEF and FEV1 measurements the app will calculate a Normal Base Line Value based on the users age, weight, origin height and sex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three tests are performed per measurement session, after which the SmartOne app automatically selects the highest value and compares it with the users Baseline Value assigning a traffic light colour to it which is then displayed with the test result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The results are stored in the App making it easy to track trends over a period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By using the SmartOne\u00ae on a regular basis changes and patterns can be monitored by the user and their healthcare professional and appropriate treatment taken if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NICE have published a Medtech Innovation Briefing (MIB96) on the SmartOne for measuring lung function which is available on their website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
