A new generation of PC based spirometers form the core of the product range. In the development, work was carried out in close co-operation with specialists from several disciplines representing clinical physiology, pulmonary medicine, cardiology, medical physics, space science, applied mathematics and computer science.

Several trends in Medikro products emerge:

• small is beautiful, also in hardware
• diagnostics today is focused on software development
• software must be simple, interactive and flexible
• low cost solutions are the best solutions regarding both hardware and software
• accuracy and repeatability are key to performance and product acceptability
• sophisticated solutions are required to cater for individual client requests
• data must be in a format to allow easy storage, trending and transmission to other systems and locations
• in spirometry patient to patient contamination must be eliminated
