Educational Questions

What hormones does Mira test?

E3G (estrone 3-glucuronide, a urine metabolite of estrogen), LH, PdG (pregnanediol glucuronide, a urine metabolite of progeserone), and FSH. 

Is there a different analyzer for each hormone?

No, there is a single Mira analyzer that can measure all four hormones: E3G, LH, PdG, and FSH.

Is a prescription required for a patient to obtain a Mira device and start testing?

No, patients can purchase it directly from the website using your discount code or affiliate link. Bulk purchasing options are also available.

Can Mira be shipped internationally?

Yes, Mira is available internationally. We offer worldwide shipping and have warehouses in the USA, the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, China, and Australia. Free shipping is available on orders over $159 USD. Shipping rates will be automatically calculated at checkout based on your location. 

Are there directions on when to start testing?

You can start testing immediately on any day of the cycle except during your heavy menstrual bleeding. 

What if my sleep schedule is abnormal or I cannot collect a first-morning urine?

Collect your sample after your longest period of sleep, ensuring it is a concentrated sample by holding your urine for at least 4 hours while limiting oral fluid intake for at least 2 hours before the test. For best results, try to be consistent with your testing pattern.

What do I do if I wake up during the night and need to urinate?

For optimal results, collect your urine after the longest period of sleep, ideally after at least 4 hours. Test immediately after collection, as hormone metabolites start to break down over time. Consistency is crucial for tracking estrogen patterns and trends.

Can I still use Mira if I don’t use a smartphone?

Yes, you can still use the Mira device without a smartphone. You will need to manually record your results on a log or chart, as the device will display the results directly on its screen.

Your website states that different types of wands should not be used in the same cycle, what would you recommend?

We advise against switching wand types during a cycle because different wands (or different lots) can cause slight variations in E3G measurements. However, switching after ovulation is acceptable.

Can the Mira wands be reused?

No, Mira wands are designed for single use only. However, our tests are recyclable and eco-friendly. 

Do I need to wash the Mira device after each use?

No, the urine is contained within the wand, secured by a cap, so the device doesn’t come into contact with it. No cleaning is necessary between uses.

Can multiple patients use the same analyzer at the same time?

No, the analyzer is connected to a specific user's Mira app via Bluetooth. While you can reset the device for a new user (see instructions below), we cannot guarantee accurate results after multiple users. 

How to wipe off all the data from a used Analyzer?

To delete data from the analyzer, you will need to restore the analyzer to its factory settings. This option is available only when the analyzer is connected to the app. To do so, please follow these steps: 1. Navigate to Profile 2. Select My Devices 3. Choose Mira Analyzer 4. Tap Restore to Factory Settings

Can patients continue to test after getting a positive pregnancy test?

No, Mira has not been studied for use in pregnancy and therefore, patients should stop testing after a positive pregnancy test. 

How long does the battery for the analyzer typically last?

The battery life of the analyzer depends on the frequency of use and the number of test wands used. Typically, the battery lasts anywhere from several days to up to 2 weeks. For optimal performance, we recommend regularly monitoring the battery level and charging as needed.

How do you change to menopause mode?

How long does the app keep data?

Historical Mira data is stored in cloud storage and can be accessed by the patient in their Mira app and accessed by the provider in the provider dashboard. 

How long the analyzer save unsynchronized data?

The Mira Analyzer can store up to 200+ test results without syncing. It's recommended to sync your data with the app whenever possible for analysis and tracking. Please note that any unsynced data will be lost if the analyzer is reset to its factory settings. 

What should I do if my patient is experiencing technical issues with their Mira analyzer?

Encourage your patient to reach out to Mira's VIP customer service at vipsupport@miracare.com for priority assistance. To help expedite the process, suggest that they send a video and/or picture of the issue they are experiencing.

How do you create a provider portal? 

Gain access to the Miracare provider dashboard by emailing our team at partnership@miracare.com

How does the patient share their data with a provider?

Patients share data by scanning your unique QR code or clicking your link. They must consent before data is shared with you on the provider dashboard. Patients can revoke your access or you can delete patients when needed. 

How does Mira compare to other tracking devices such as Inito or Proov?

Mira uses fluorescent lateral flow immunoassay technology, which is more accurate and sensitive than the nano-gold technology used by other trackers (e.g., Proov, Inito). Fluorescent analyzers, like Mira, provide quantitative results preferred by providers. Read more here.

How does Mira compare to Dutch?

Mira offers several advantages over traditional dried urine testing, such as the Dutch test, by utilizing laboratory-grade immunofluorescence technology, providing immediate results, and enabling remote monitoring. These features make Mira a highly efficient and convenient option for tracking hormone levels and trends in real time. In contrast, Dutch requires a dried urine sample to be collected, mailed, and analyzed at the Dutch laboratory, which typically takes up to three weeks to return results. Additionally, Mira and Dutch use different sets of urine metabolites, which means their results cannot be directly compared.

While Mira can replace Dutch cycle mapping, it can also complement Dutch testing, which provides insights into adrenal function, organic acids, and metabolite pathways. For instance, Mira can help accurately time interventions and assessments, such as conducting a Dutch Complete test seven days after ovulation. This approach is more reliable than using a generic cycle day 21 result, as ovulation timing varies significantly between women. Testing seven days post-ovulation offers a more precise reflection of hormonal activity.
While Dutch offers a detailed snapshot of hormone levels, Mira's real-time monitoring and trend analysis provide continuous insights, making it particularly beneficial for ongoing interventions and personalized healthcare strategies.
