OUR INVENTORY

Medical International Research, or MIR, is a self-contained medical devices company. Originating in 1980 as an in-house research and development organization, MIR initially began its work by engaging in various lung function assessments. From its research origins, the company came to develop a number of its own hardware and software solutions to aid in medical spirometry.

Even though the firm has branched out since its origins, research and development still play a huge role in its day to day operations. The firm maintains that staying committed to such research allows it to more accurately respond to the growing needs of its worldwide medical practitioner clients. In addition to collaborating with current healthcare providers like hospitals and research laboratories, MIR has active partnerships with a number of universities and colleges. The result of these relationships is that MIR regularly applies original patent technology to create new solutions for spirometers and oximeters.

MIR's research and development has built the company a global reputation with products sold in upwards of 70 countries. Many of MIR's customers seek the firm out for its ability to provide own-brand solutions.

The machines MIR builds typically use cutting edge technology, allowing for the measurement of more parameters than their typical counterparts. They are known for creating medical diagnostic machinery with a wide range of options and interconnectivity features. These include oximeters that allow caregivers to make on-the-spot test adjustments by inserting extra data, such as fatigue statistics, and units with built-in automatic index calculation programs.

Perhaps as a result of their long history as a research company, MIR is also heavily involved with telemedicine. While their devices include features like long hours of independent internal memory recording, many of their standalone models are also equipped with USB, RS232, Bluetooth mobile phone or printer connections, extensive graphic displays and even acoustic coupling for landlines. Some MIR meters can export patient data or graphs through email, making it easy for doctors to remotely analyze the info they generate. There is also a heavy emphasis on usability with most products including a variety of PC software data analysis tools and standard battery compatibility.

In addition to creating their own product lines through research and in-house manufacturing, they are deeply invested in user training. MIR runs several international telespirometry training centers, with their largest facility located in north Italy. These facilities help teach medical staff how to use the spriometers the company makes, and also promote the practice of long distance medical assessments made possible by modern technologies. The Italian center specifically manages some 3,500 remote machines simultaneously operating in ten European countries.

MIR has corporate headquarters located in Roma, Italy as well as Waukesha, Wisconsin. Their devices are built to comply with the internationally vetted American Thoracic Society (ATS) testing procedures performed at the LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah. MIR conforms to ATS product certification, Conformite Europeenne (CE) product marking and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) product approval.
