It’s Important (1,,2) - Your office sees patients with indications for spirometry on a daily basis.  Spirometry is the gold standard for the diagnosis and management of both asthma and COPD.  The earlier you detect the disease; the easier you can deal with it.
 
It’s Good Medicine - Your patients are correctly diagnosed and treated more accurately and conveniently in your office.
 
It’s Easy - Unless the equipment is easy to use, it will not be fully utilized by your staff.  All Micro Direct spirometers are menu driven via a large graphic display and the test takes less than five minutes to perform. The easy-to-read reports, quality checks and built-in interpretation assist with your diagnosis.
 
It’s Good Business - Office spirometry is third party reimbursable with an average reimbursement of $33 for a simple five minute non-invasive test.  The average primary care physician tests ten patients per week and pays for their equipment in three months or less then generates over $20,000 per year in additional revenue.
