Proven Stability and Reliability

Micro Direct relies upon the proven track record of stability and reliability of the Micro Medical spirometers. They have been tested in some of the harshest environments on earth and are manufactured to ISO9002 quality guidelines. Three generations of ATS testing machines are used to ensure the continuing quality of our products.

Here are just a couple of examples of where spirometers available from Micro Direct have been independently tested and used.

British Territorial Army Medical Services - Greenland Expedition 1997
Greenland Expedition Greenland letter The British Territorial Army used two MicroPlus Spirometers in an expedition to Greenland in 1997. The spirometers were chosen because of their accuracy and reliability in extreme conditions.Click the image on the right to jump to an HTML version of the letter from Major R W Pool, the Expedition Medical Officer.
British Mount Everest Medical Expedition 1994
Everest Expedition The Micro at altitude

This expedition had seventy five members with some coming from as far afield as New Zealand and America with two members actually climbing to the summit.  None of the members had ventured above 7,500m before. The objectives of the expedition were to perform 16 medical research projects, 2 environmental projects, conduct an educational campaign and promote the work of a Nepal based charity. One of the research projects was entitled 'Changes in Spirometry at Altitude'. The Micro Medical Micro Spirometer proved ideal for this as the turbine technology means the results are not affected by either climate or altitude, unlike some spirometers using different technologies.
