FlowMIR™
Disposable Turbine Flowmeter
MIR Exclusive product
International patent
Each turbine, which includes a cardboard mouthpiece, has been individually factory tested with a computerized system.
It comes standard in a dispenser of 60 pcs or of 10 pcs.
FlowMIR™ is an inexpensive alternative to a costly reusable flowmeter and replaces the need for an antibacterial filter.
A full Spirometry session can be performed, including a Bronchial Challenge and POST Bronchodilator test.
For each patient, after the Spirometry test, both turbine and mouthpiece are thrown away.
MIR Reusable Turbine
The reusable turbine is manufactured with high-tech materials – including special alloys and synthetic sapphires – for durabilitiy while retaining the features of reproducability and accuracy even after many ears of use
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the FlowMIR™ Disposable Turbine?
The FlowMIR™ Disposable Turbine is a single-patient spirometry flowmeter that accurately measures airflow during pulmonary function testing. Each turbine is individually factory calibrated and includes a cardboard mouthpiece for convenient, hygienic testing.
2. Why use a disposable spirometry turbine?
Disposable spirometry turbines help reduce the risk of cross-contamination between patients by eliminating the need to clean and disinfect reusable flow sensors after every test. A new turbine is simply used for each patient.
3. Does the FlowMIR™ Disposable Turbine require calibration?
No. Every FlowMIR™ Disposable Turbine is individually tested and calibrated at the factory using a computerized quality control process, allowing clinicians to perform spirometry without routine turbine calibration.
4. Can the FlowMIR™ Disposable Turbine be used for all spirometry tests?
Yes. The FlowMIR™ Disposable Turbine supports complete spirometry testing, including Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV₁), bronchial challenge testing, and post-bronchodilator assessments.
5. Does the FlowMIR™ Disposable Turbine replace antibacterial filters?
Yes. The FlowMIR™ Disposable Turbine is designed as a cost-effective alternative to reusable flowmeters and eliminates the need for a separate antibacterial filter during routine spirometry testing.
6. What are the benefits of the MIR Reusable Turbine?
The MIR Reusable Turbine is manufactured from high-quality materials, including specialized alloys and synthetic sapphire bearings, to deliver long-lasting durability, excellent measurement accuracy, and reliable performance through repeated clinical use.
7. How long does the MIR Reusable Turbine maintain its accuracy?
When properly maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, the MIR Reusable Turbine is designed to provide consistent accuracy and repeatable airflow measurements over many years of clinical use.
8. Which healthcare facilities use FlowMIR™ turbines?
FlowMIR™ Disposable Turbines and MIR Reusable Turbines are commonly used in hospitals, pulmonary clinics, physician offices, occupational health programs, respiratory therapy departments, and pulmonary function laboratories.
9. Are FlowMIR™ turbines compatible with MIR spirometers?
Yes. FlowMIR™ Disposable Turbines and MIR Reusable Turbines are designed for compatibility with supported MIR spirometry systems, helping ensure accurate airflow measurements and reliable pulmonary function testing.
