Product Description
This device is used to measure Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) and Forced Expiratory Volume in 1-second (FEV1) in both children and adults. PEF is the fastest speed air can be blown out of the lungs after inhalation. FEV1 measures the volume after exhaling in 1-second. Peak Flow (PEF) and Forced Expiratory Volume in 1-second (FEV1) measurements can tell how well lungs are breathing by monitoring airflow. Doctors can have patients monitor changes in airflow and record the results. The automatic memory stores and provides easy access to the last 240 readings along with the time and date.

Easy to use, much better than any of the mechanical options by Ticos (Grapevine, Texas, USA)

This digital device is far superior than any of the mechanical options in the market and anything we've tried before. Great value for the price, my 12 year old uses it on a daily basis and we could not be happier with the purchase. It is very easy to use and convenient.

Maybe I'm a dummy, however, I am 70 years old and tech smart. Couldn't figure this gadget out at all. Amazon's price is good if you do decide to try.

Best Peak Flow Meter I have tried by reviewer

This meter is accurate in comparison to others I have tried and to "disposable" ones. I love it's ability to track previous readings as well as it calculating what percentage you are from your best peak flow. You can only compare your numbers to yourself so a peak flow of 380 could be good or bad, depending on what YOUR best peak flow is. This is really important and why I am glad it does its calculations automatically and easily displays for me whether I am in a danger zone for myself. This also has the ability to keep track of peak flows from different people but I am the only one in my house that uses it so I haven't tried that feature. There are different color mouthpieces for different people.

I have moderate allergic asthma and found it very interesting that this product measures FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 second) in addition to PEFR. As I understand it, FEV1 is considered the more important reading on Spirometers when looking at Asthma, so I am more interested in monitoring my FEV1 levels than PEFR. In any event, upon receipt I found this product easy to set up, and quite simple to use. It's designed well in that the tubing separates from the body of the device for easy cleaning as does the mouthpiece. I took the unit to my Pulmonologist's office and they thought it appeared to be quite accurate. I can definitely see my FEV1 level change when I'm having a bad day, and need to use my rescue Inhaler. I can also see how much the FEV1 increases after the rescue inhaler is used. If you get a printout of your spirometer readings at your doctor's office, you can use that info to compare against FEV1 readings on this unit at home. No more mechanical meter. I don't bother with the computer software stuff, I just write things out. Others who are more interested in PEFR readings will likely find this unit quite helpful. I can highly recommend this product, and the price seems right.
