Microlife Digital Peak Flow Meter with FEV1 & Tracking Software for Asthma & COPD

The Microlife Digital Peak Flow Meter with FEV1 is the doctor's choice for managing diseases that restrict lung performance. This advanced meter for spirometry includes a digital diary and measures air flow velocity and volume (FEV1) to indicate early warning signs for impending asthmatic incidents or conditions. Using these measurements in conjunction with a doctor's consultation allows patients with asthma, COPD and other lung diseases to manage their condition.

What is PEF? PEF stands for Peak Expiratory Flow, which measures how fast you can push air out of your lungs. What is FEV? FEV is Forced Expiratory Volume, which measures how much air a person can exhale during a forced breath.

Who should use this meter? Asthmatic patients, those with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and individuals with other respiratory problems, including athletes.

The meter offers superior digital accuracy, providing an exact reading and avoiding any accidental mistakes. It measures the flow rate at one hundredths of a liter per minute, and the results are automatically recorded. Consistent and accurate readings will improve your ability to assess your condition.

The meter automatically stores 240 readings, with the highest reading from each session recorded, allowing you to test multiple times and record your best result. Studies show that patients who measure and record their readings are better able to monitor and manage their conditions.

The meter also comes with peak flow and FEV1 tracking software, enabling you to connect it to your PC and automatically download your readings. The user-friendly analysis software allows you to chart your progress, print graphs, make notes about your symptoms or triggers, export your results to a spreadsheet, and share your results with your healthcare provider.

To take a measurement, simply stand up, hold the peak flow meter with both hands, take a deep breath, and blow into the mouthpiece as hard as you can for as long as possible, bending forward to push all the air from your lungs. Measure your peak flow rate twice daily, close to the same time each day.

The risk indicator feature uses green, yellow, and red bars on the display to provide a quick visual reference to show how your results compare to your personal best or national standards. The arrow on the display will indicate whether your measurement is within the normal (green), borderline (yellow), or danger (red) range.

Cleaning the monitor is straightforward. Simply separate the mouthpiece and measuring tube from the meter, then clean the parts with soap and warm water, and air dry. The monitor comes with three color-coded mouthpieces, allowing you to monitor yourself and your child, or rotate them between uses for cleaning.

The Microlife Digital Peak Flow Meter with FEV1 is a lightweight and portable device that meets American Thoracic Society standards. It provides accurate and reliable measurements, with a range of 50 to 900 l/min for peak flow readings and 0.01 to 9.99 for FEV1 readings. The meter is electronically independent, requiring no phone or cloud connection, addressing any security concerns about sharing medical data.
