SpiroStar, the smallest lung function testing system in the world, weighing only 22 grams, meets the latest ATS/ERS spirometry standards. According to Finnish manufacturer Medikro, SpiroStar is one of the first lung function testing systems in the world to satisfy the new and changed requirements for the calculation of lung function testing.

The service offered by a device manufacturer is a decisive criterion for private-practice physicians when selecting a spirometer (lung function measuring device). This is what a study recently commissioned by medical device manufacturer MEDIKRO GmbH has found. As part of this study, conducted by the MIK market research institute, 100 private-practice physicians in Germany were surveyed during telephone interviews regarding, among other things, the factors that would lead them to select a particular spirometer, or to possibly switch to a different manufacturer of such devices.
