Full Range (60-880 L/min). Measure peak expiratory flow in order to monitor respiratory conditions such as asthma. For single patient use or multi-patient use when used with disposable mouthpieces. The package contains: Assess Peak Flow Meter with Asthma Management Zone System. Instructions for use.. Daily record chart. Mouthpiece.
How to use your Assess Peak Flow Meter. Follow these step-by-step directions: 1. Assess can be used without a mouthpiece, but if you prefer, place the white mouthpieces on the peak flow meter. 2. Make sure that the red indicator is at the bottom of the scale. 3. Hold the peak flow meter upright as shown, being careful that your fingers do not block the opening in the back. 4. Stand up, if possible. Inhale as deeply as you can and place your mouth firmly around the mouthpiece, making sure your lips form a tight seal. 5. Blow out as hard and fast as you can. This will cause the red indicator to move up the scale. The final position of the red indicator is your peak flow rate. 6. Take three readings and record the highest value along with the date and time in the Daily Record Chart provided with your peak flow meter. (Your doctor will show you how to record your readings correctly.) 7. To repeat the test, slide the red indicator back to the bottom of the scale.
