Simple test for respiratory muscle strength. The MicroRPM brings together the measurements of maximum inspiratory and expiratory mouth pressures (MIP/MEP) and sniff nasal inspiratory pressure (SNIP) in one instrument. Simple and easy to use, the pocket sized, battery operated MicroRPM features a clear digital display of the results in cmH2O.
Features and Benefits
- Combined, mouth and nasal pressure measurements
- Clear digital display of the results
- Small, portable and lightweight
- Latest piezo resistive pressure sensing technology
- Battery operated and complete with all accessories in a sturdy carrying case
- Optional Puma, PC software package available.
PUMA Software
PUMA™ is an optional 32 bit software package (which is compatible with all the latest Windows® operating systems) for displaying the pressure wave forms developed during testing with the MicroRPM™. Additionally the measurements of the Maximal Rate of Pressure Development (MRPD) and Maximal Rate of Relaxation (MRR) can be made.
PUMA™ has a user friendly, modern, multi-window visual interface which can display and store waveforms and results from both mouth and nasal pressure measurements.
Patient databases are easily created, a powerful search facility and the long term trending of results are also possible. An animated incentive device ensures maximal cooperation from children and test quality assurance measures encourage correct test technique. With PUMA™ the printout format is also selectable and previous pressure curves can be overlayed. Different sets of predicted normal values are also included. Results can also be exported and stored electronically in patents records.
