Yes, at-home spirometers are accurate and reliable tools for monitoring lung function when used correctly. High-quality personal spirometers, like those from MIR, are designed to provide precise measurements comparable to clinical-grade devices and are compliant with the latest 2019 ATS/ ERS guidelines. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for best results and consult with your healthcare provider for interpretation.

In most cases, you will need your physician's NPI number to purchase a personal spirometer. The personal smart devices are prescribed by doctors and/or clinicians and can be shipped directly to the customer. The only spirometer available for over the counter purchase is the Smart One sold on Amazon.

To prepare for a spirometry test, avoid smoking, heavy meals, or strenuous exercise for at least a few hours before the test. Wear comfortable clothing that won’t restrict your breathing, and follow any specific instructions from your healthcare provider. Proper preparation ensures accurate lung function measurements and reliable results.

Spirometry test results are reported as key lung function measurements, such as Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) and Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), and the FEV1/FVC ratio. These values assess airflow and lung capacity, helping to diagnose and monitor respiratory conditions. Many spirometry devices, like those from MIR, provide easy-to-read results that can be shared with your healthcare provider for accurate interpretation and treatment planning.

To clean your spirometer, remove and dispose of any disposable mouthpieces after each use, then follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions for the device. MIR spirometers are designed for easy maintenance, often requiring the use of a soft cloth, mild detergent, or disinfectant wipes for cleaning external surfaces. Regular cleaning ensures accurate readings and maintains hygiene, especially when used by multiple individuals. View our cleaning guide here.

The frequency of spirometer use depends on your healthcare provider’s recommendations and your specific respiratory condition. Many individuals use a spirometer once or twice daily to monitor lung function trends effectively, while others may use it more frequently during treatment or recovery. Always follow your provider’s guidance to ensure optimal respiratory health management.

The MIR Spirobank App and Smart One provide accurate lung function tracking directly from your smartphone or tablet. Using the apps, you can measure and monitor key respiratory metrics like FEV1 and PEF. The app stores your results, offers real-time insights, and allows you to share data with your healthcare provider easily. This seamless integration ensures better respiratory health management, early detection of issues, and more personalized care.
