Designed for asthma management, the PeakFlow Meter is a hand-held device that measures Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR), or the maximum velocity of air expelled from the lungs. Just blow into the PeakFlow as hard and fast as possible and the instrument's scale gives a numerical indication of exhaled velocity. Clinical experience shows that respiratory patients who take their own peak flow measurements improve their physician's ability to provide effective treatment. Its compact design makes it easy to use at home, school or work. The reusable mouthpiece and durable plastic housing clean easily with soap and water.

This portable device is designed for the measurement of peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), which is the fastest speed a person can blow air out of the lungs after taking as big a breath as possible. "Peak expiratory flow rate" is a simple measure of the flow of air that can tell you how well you are breathing. Daily measurements can provide information to you and your doctor on small changes in your lung function, which can often prevent the onset of an asthma attack.

A daily record of your peak flow measurements can help your doctor determine the most appropriate therapy for your asthma.

Features

People who self-manage their asthma using daily monitoring of peak air flow and adjusting their medications as needed have fewer hospitalizations, fewer unplanned doctors visits, and, generally, a better quality of life than those who rely only on the occasional physician or emergency room visit to control symptoms. Physicians recommend that patients with even mild asthma monitor their own conditions.
