Oct 20, 2025 Bring Complete Pulmonary Function Testing In‑House with the MiniBox+

For many respiratory clinics, offering only basic spirometry means referring patients to external labs or hospitals for full pulmonary function testing (PFT). This referral process can result in delays in diagnosis, gaps in care continuity, and an increased risk of losing patients to outside providers.

With the MiniBox+, you can bring complete, gold-standard PFT capabilities, including plethysmography, spirometry, and DLCO, directly into your office. This helps eliminate unnecessary referrals and elevates both your clinical and financial performance.

Improve Continuity of Care by Keeping PFTs In-House

Every referral to an external testing facility represents a break in the continuum of care. Delays, missed appointments, and provider fragmentation often lead to patient non-compliance and long-term loss of follow-up.

By integrating the MiniBox+ into your practice, you can offer same-day, comprehensive pulmonary function testing in a familiar, patient-centered environment. Faster access to test results supports more timely treatment decisions and strengthens the provider-patient relationship, keeping care, trust, and revenue within your practice.

Portable, Cabinless, and Designed for Clinical Efficiency

The MiniBox+ redefines how pulmonary function testing fits into your daily operations. Its compact, booth-free design enables testing to take place in any exam room, without the need for a large, enclosed body box.

Key operational advantages include:

• Tidal Breathing Lung Volumes: No panting maneuvers or tight enclosures, just 60 seconds of relaxed breathing.

• Fully Automated Testing: Spirometry, lung volumes, and DLCO are conducted quickly and easily by trained staff.

• Seamless Integration: The device fits naturally into a clinic’s workflow and requires minimal setup or calibration.

• Self-Calibrating and Low Maintenance: Built-in quality controls minimize downtime and simplify device management.

Clinical Accuracy That Matches or Surpasses Traditional Methods

Backed by multi-center studies, the MiniBox+ has demonstrated clinical accuracy equivalent to, or better than, conventional body plethysmography. Its ability to deliver reliable lung volume measurements without gas dilution or enclosed booths makes it ideal for a wide range of patients, including those with mobility issues or claustrophobia.

Results are consistent with ATS/ERS guidelines, ensuring high clinical confidence while maintaining comfort and convenience.

Maximize Reimbursement and Return on Investment

Complete PFTs conducted with the MiniBox+ are billed using the same CPT codes used for traditional body box procedures, without additional administrative complexity. Practices that implement the device can see a return on investment in as little as 7 weeks, with modest testing volumes.

In-house testing also minimizes the loss of billing opportunities and allows your staff to manage the entire patient journey from testing to treatment under one roof.
