Monitoring asthma can help you to breathe easy, which is why this peak flow meter is a must for every asthma sufferer’s home. It measures how fast you can blow air out of your lungs so you can accurately track how well your asthma is being controlled.

• The scale range is between 60 – 800 l/min
• It’s quick and easy to clean once you’ve finished your measurement
• Super lightweight and small enough to pop into a bag or backpack to use on the go
• Comes with a mouthpiece that you can easily sterilise when you’re done
• Can be safely used by adults

Please reach the package insert for full instructions on how to use your Peak Flow Meter.

Here are the basic instructions:

• Move the marker to the bottom of the numbered scale.
• Stand up straight.
• Take a deep breath. Fill your lungs all the way.
• Hold your breath while you place the mouthpiece in your mouth, between your teeth. Close your lips around it. Do not put your tongue against or inside the hole.
• Blow out as hard and fast as you can in a single blow. Your first burst of air is the most important, so blowing for a longer time will not affect your result.
• Write down the number you get.
• If you coughed or did not complete the steps correctly, don’t write down the number. Redo the test, then record the number you get.
• Move the marker back to the bottom and repeat all these steps 2 more times. The highest of the 3 numbers is your peak flow number. Write it down in your log chart.

Many children under the age of 5 can’t use a peak flow meter very well. But some are able to. It’s recommended to get your child to start using the peak flow meter before the age of 5 so that they can get used to it.
