At the start of September 2011 Medikro participated in a spirometry event which took place on the market square of the city of Kuopio. Medikro provided the spirometry equipment which was used throughout the event. More than 200 people took part in the event and had their lung function tested.

The motto of the event was “Puhalla Nyt” which can be freely translated to mean “blow now”. Puhalla nyt is at the same time the name for a project which tries to raise awareness for respiratory diseases like COPD. More information (in Finnish) on the project can be found under www.puhallanyt.fi.
