The MIR MiniSpir® is a lightweight PC-based diagnostic spirometer designed for professional spirometry in clinics, occupational health environments, teaching facilities and fixed-workstation testing setups.
It connects directly to a compatible PC via USB and uses MIR Spiro Software to display real-time Flow/Volume and Volume/Time curves. Testing, review, reporting and data storage are managed through the connected PC, making the device practical for clinics that already work from a computer-based station.
The integrated temperature sensor supports automatic BTPS conversion during testing. MiniSpir® supports FVC, VC, IVC, MVV and PRE/POST bronchodilator testing system for professional respiratory assessment.
MiniSpir® is compatible with reusable MIR turbines and FlowMIR® disposable turbines, allowing facilities to choose the turbine system that best suits hygiene procedures, patient volume or teaching use.
Features:
- USB PC-Based Operation: Connects directly to a compatible computer for testing, display and reporting.
- Live PC Curve Review: Displays Flow/Volume and Volume/Time curves on the connected PC during testing.
- Direct Software Storage: Test data is recorded directly through MIR Spiro Software.
- Automatic BTPS Conversion: Integrated temperature sensor supports automatic BTPS conversion.
- Comprehensive Spirometry Testing: Supports FVC, VC, IVC, MVV and PRE/POST bronchodilator testing.

FAQs:
- Can MiniSpir® be used without a computer?
No. MiniSpir® is designed for PC-based operation and requires a compatible computer for testing, display, reporting and storage.
- What tests can MiniSpir® perform?
It supports FVC, VC, IVC, MVV and PRE/POST bronchodilator testing.
- Why does MiniSpir® not have a screen or internal memory?
The design keeps the device compact and low-admin by using the connected PC for display, storage and reporting.
- Can I choose reusable or disposable turbines?
Yes. MiniSpir® is compatible with reusable MIR turbines and FlowMIR® disposable turbines.
- How is the turbine managed between patients?
Reusable turbines require cleaning/disinfection according to manufacturer instructions. FlowMIR® disposable turbines are designed for single-patient turbine use.
