MicroDL > CAT NO: MS08


The innovative MicroDL ia a new generation precision pocket Spirometer offering flexible diagnostic features at an exceptional price. This Spirometer features the Micro Medical Gold Standard digital volume transducer with it’s proven accuracy, stability and reliability it meets and exceeds the ATS/ERS 2005 Standard.

The MicroDL has a large memory capacity allowing up to 500 data sets (including Flow/Volume and Volume/Time curves) to be recorded for either direct printing, uploading to the complementary Spida 5 software or transferred by modem to a remote location.

The MicroDL features a configurable ‘traffic light’ visual alert feature based on the patients previous results or their predicted values assuring protection should the subject’s lung function deteriorate.

Setting new standards in spirometry

The new Gold Standard Transducer from Micro Medical gives you the most precise volume and flow measurements for your Asthma and COPD patients. This means that Micro Medical’s world leading spirometers are the definitive benchmark for precision respiratory measurement - bar none.

Spida 5 Spirometry Software

Spida 5 software is supplied complimentary with the MicroDL, Spida 5 is a 32 bit spirometry software package, that is compatible with all the latest Windows operating systems. Up to 33 spirometry indices are measurable. Closed loop test technique and the overlaying of previous curves for comparison are possible. Extensive search facilities and powerful longterm trending of results also feature.
