Medikro

What Medikro does

Medikro Oy is a privately held Nordic family company founded in 1977 and headquartered in Kuopio, Finland, that designs, manufactures, and markets medical systems for pulmonary diagnostics and monitoring. The company specializes in spirometry, offering a portfolio of PC-based laboratory spirometers (Medikro Pro M915, Medikro Primo M914), a wireless calibration-free screening device (Medikro Duo M920), and proprietary single-use Medikro SpiroSafe flow transducers plus supporting consumables and accessories. All products are designed around an EN ISO 26782 and ATS/ERS-compliant measurement engine and operate on Medikro Spirometry Software (MSS) for data capture, prediction models, final reporting, and hospital information system (HIS) integration; the company holds ISO 13485:2016 certification and EU-MDR (Regulation EU 2017/745) certification.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model combining one-time hardware sales (Medikro-branded devices and OEM/white-label sales of customized spirometer engines to partner brands), recurring consumables revenue (single-use SpiroSafe transducers, bacterial/viral filters, calibration syringes protected by partner-specific software-based linearization codes), service and maintenance contracts, IT integration services, and a newer subscription-style Medikro Academy e-learning platform for ATS/ERS-aligned spirometry training. Customer segments span world-class hospitals, outpatient clinics and occupational health centers, OEM medical device brands, healthcare and IT professionals, medical education institutions, and a 25+-country authorized distributor network. Go-to-market is sales-led via direct international, OEM, and Finland sales lines complemented by distributor resellers and a self-serve Academy storefront. The company has received EU co-funding through the Medikro MAX (2019–2023) and REACT-EU (2021–2023) development projects targeting production automation and a service-based business model, and reports over three million spirometry tests performed annually using its technology.

Revenue model

1. Hardware Sales - Spirometers: Sale of Medikro-branded PC-based (Medikro Pro M915, Medikro Primo M914) and wireless (Medikro Duo M920) spirometers as one-time device purchases; OEM/white-label sales of customized spirometer engines to partner brands. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.
2. Consumables and Accessories: Recurring revenue from sale of single-use Medikro SpiroSafe flow transducers (M9256), bacterial and viral filters (M9293), nose clips (MRN-03/100), calibration syringes (M9474), pressure tubes, and Medikro Grip accessories. Consumables also sold under OEM partner brands with partner-specific linearization codes.
3. OEM / White-Label Licensing: OEM partners purchase Medikro's spirometer engine, syringes, and consumables under their own branding; partner-specific mechanics and software-based linearization codes create lock-in for ongoing consumables revenue share with OEM partners.
4. Medikro Academy - Online Training Courses: Paid e-learning courses (e.g., Medikro Spirometry Fundamentals) priced from €80 / 860 SEK per seat with group discounts up to 25%; 12-month access with electronic certificate on completion. Sold direct online or via invoice to organizations.

Core offering

Medikro designs, manufactures, and markets medical systems for pulmonary diagnostics and monitoring, centered on PC-based and wireless spirometers (Medikro Pro M915, Medikro Primo M914, Medikro Duo M920) paired with the proprietary Medikro Spirometry Software (MSS). The offering is bundled with single-use flow transducers, bacterial/viral filters, calibration syringes and other accessories, plus a modular OEM spirometer engine for white-label partner brands, an annual service and warranty program, and an ATS/ERS-aligned e-learning training academy.

Product overview

Medikro's offering is a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on a family of PC-based and wireless spirometers supported by dedicated software, consumables, accessories, and training. The core product portfolio comprises three spirometers — Medikro Pro (M915) for laboratory use, Medikro Primo (M914) as a general-purpose PC-based unit, and Medikro Duo (M920) for quick 2-minute wireless primary-care testing — which all run on Medikro Spirometry Software (MSS) for data capture, prediction models, and final reporting. The single-use Medikro SpiroSafe Flow Transducer (with 4th-generation OEM variants) and the Medikro Bacterial and Viral Filter (M9293) are the primary consumables that pair with the spirometers, while the Medikro Nose Clip, Medikro Calibration Syringe (M9474), Medikro Pressure Tube, and Medikro Grip are the supporting accessories. Complementary offerings include the Medikro OEM Services program for full customization (casing, branding, mechanics, linearization codes) of spirometers, syringes, and transducers; the Medikro Academy eLearning platform with its flagship Medikro Spirometry Fundamentals course for healthcare professionals; and an annual Medikro Service & Warranty program for maintenance and repair. The Medikro Spirometry Software also supports integration with hospital information systems (HIS) via Medikro's integration team.

Scale indicators9 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights7 records

Emerging players

• Contec Medical Systems: Chinese OEM manufacturer of low-cost PC-based spirometers and patient monitoring devices; competes with Medikro on price-sensitive OEM opportunities and is increasingly active in emerging markets via distributor networks.
• Deep Breath / Spire Health: Digital respiratory health company offering connected, app-based lung monitoring; adjacent rather than head-to-head with Medikro but represents the digitally-native category that could capture incremental primary-care screening use cases over time.

Direct peers

• COSMED: Italian manufacturer of cardiopulmonary diagnostic equipment (Quark, Pony FX) covering full pulmonary function labs; overlaps with Medikro Pro in hospital/laboratory settings and competes in the same EN ISO 26782/ATS-ERS accuracy tier.
• ndd Medizintechnik: Swiss manufacturer of PC-based and portable spirometers using ultrasonic flow measurement; competes head-to-head with Medikro Pro/Primo/Duo in primary care and occupational health, with the same kind of single-use consumables and OEM-style white-label offerings.
• MIR (Medical International Research): Italian spirometry OEM/ODM specialist offering PC-based and portable spirometers (Spirobank, Spirodoc) plus disposable turbines; directly comparable to Medikro on product architecture, OEM/whitelabel business model and European manufacturing footprint.
• Vitalograph: UK-based specialist in spirometry and lung function testing with a long-established product range (Alpha, In2itive, Micro), bacterial/viral filters and consumables; the most direct long-standing competitor to Medikro in clinical and occupational spirometry.

Broad incumbents

• Vyaire Medical: Large global respiratory diagnostics and ventilation company (formerly CareFusion/BD) selling MasterScreen and Microlab spirometry systems plus consumables; competes with Medikro in hospital PFT labs and is the dominant US-installed base that Medikro currently does not address.
• Schiller AG: Swiss broad-line cardiopulmonary diagnostics vendor with PC-based spirometers (Spirovit, Cardiovit) sold into hospitals and clinics; broader portfolio than Medikro but directly overlaps in laboratory and primary-care spirometry segments.
• MGC Diagnostics / CAIRE: US-based pulmonary function testing specialist (Ultima, Platinum Elite) serving hospital PFT labs; broader cardiovascular/pulmonary portfolio and the standard incumbent in North American hospital spirometry.

Others

• Zendesk: Not a competitor but an enabling technology vendor: Medikro runs its multilingual help center and customer support workflow on Zendesk, illustrating its dependence on third-party platforms for service delivery and an adjacent partnership for software-enabled medical device support.
