The New MicroLab 3500 Spirometer
The world’s most versatile portable Spirometer

 
microloop.jpg (3505 bytes) Developed specifically for the professional, the next generation MicroLab employs Micro Direct’s acclaimed precision Gold Standard Digital Volume Transducer which is especially suited to measuring very low flow rates in patients with COPD. The MicroLab has a class-leading, very high definition paper-white screen and can display both Volume/Time and complete Flow/Volume Loops (using either the open or closed loop test techniques).The instrument can measure up to 36 spirometry parameters and has a database storage capacity for over 1000 patients. A built-in high resolution printer quickly delivers hard copy results; however full page printouts are possible using an external Hewlet Packard or Canon printer (compatible models specified by Micro Direct). A new child incentive graphical display is featured and an optional Airway Resistance measurement module is offered. A comprehensive range of advanced features normally only seen on more expensive laboratory based equipment are included (see features and specifications)
