Over half a century ago Vitalograph’s founder, Dietmar Garbe, developed the world’s first office spirometer in an outbuilding of the Garbe family home. From these small beginnings Vitalograph has grown into a world leading provider of cardio-respiratory products and services to primary and secondary care, occupational health, the emergency services and pharmaceutical clinical trials.

Acceptance of the robust, portable Vitalograph Spirometer is fast and widespread in the UK and for many people the Vitalograph name became synonymous with spirometry.

Today, Vitalograph remains a family owned company committed to pushing back the boundaries of medical diagnostics in cardio-respiratory care. This pioneering spirit has led to an extensive product range that has won several design awards and is widely used by medical professionals around the world.

Vitalograph spirometers are sold in over 100 countries worldwide and are widely recognized as the ‘Gold Standard’ by which other respiratory devices are measured. Nowadays Vitalograph is represented in 113 countries and has offices in England, Germany, China and the United States.
