MicroGP > CAT NO: MS07


The innovative MicroGP is an inexpensive precision Spirometer designed for the family or primary care physician.

The MicroGP is the device of choice for COPD and Asthma screening offering a high degree of accuracy with simplicity of operation.

Measuring and displaying FEV1/FVC/PEF with percent predicted as well as allowing a direct printout which includes the small airways flow indicators of F50/F25/MEF and the Flow/Volume and Volume/Time curves.

Setting new standards in spirometry

The MicroGP employs the Gold Standard Transducer from Micro Medical, which 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 software

Available as an option for the MicroGP, 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 long-term trending of results also feature.
