II. Introduction – CareFusion USA
The Micro I is a compact, rechargeable battery operated and fully
portable diagnostic spirometer. It is accurate to the requirements of
the ATS/ERS TASK FORCE: STANDARDISATION OF LUNG FUNCTION
TESTING 2005. Its ergonomic and user-friendly design allows
diagnostic spirometry measurements, including predicted values and
automatic interpretation, to be made quickly and simply.
The Micro I features include:

The spirometer uses the CareFusion Digital Volume Transducer, an
extremely stable form of volume transducer, which measures
expired air directly at B.T.P.S (Body Temperature and Pressure with
Saturated water vapour) thus avoiding the inaccuracies of
temperature corrections. This transducer is insensitive to the effects
of condensation and temperature and avoids the need for individual
calibration prior to performing a test.
CareFusion can supply spirometers to fulfil all your diagnostic and
monitoring spirometry needs. The Micro II spirometer is the sister
spirometer to the Micro I specifically designed for monitoring of
asthma and COPD either at home or in the work place.
