I think the reason most docs don't have them is maintenance - I believe they have to be cleaned after every other use.  Obviously due to all the salivating Mannkind investors slobbering into it (past the replaceable mouthpiece) at the thought of our potential successes! |

You made the statement, I just asked for the data. Turns out there was no data, just an assumption. The only reference that I'm familiar with is a Dr. Enright that was quoted in a respiratory journal about a dozen years ago. The physician was quoted, but I don't think he was referring to any studies, only his own opinion. Given the emphasis on PCP use of spirometers over the past decade, especially when dealing with symptoms of COPD, I would be shocked if only 40% had spirometers in their offices. |
