Peak Flow Meter

MODEL PF9940

INTRODUCTION TO THE PEAK-AIR™PEAK FLOW METER

The PEAK-AIR is a portable device for the measurement of peak expiratory flow rate

(PEFR). It can be used by the patient at home, school, workplace, etc.

Daily measurements of PEFR provide information to you and your doctor on small changes

in your lung function, often to prevent the onset of an asthma attack. Your doctor will assist

you in learning to properly perform the test and record the results, as well as providing a

treatment plan based on the peak flow measurements.

CAUTION

Use PEAK-AIR under the guidance and supervision of a physician or other healthcare

professional. Contact this person if you note a downward change in your readings indicating

a worsening of your condition.

WARRANTY

PEAK-AIR is covered by a three year warranty. If found to be defective under normal use,

the unit will be replaced free of charge. The National Asthma Education Program (NAEP) of

the National Institutes of Health established technical standards for peak flow monitoring.

These include documentation, accuracy and reproducibility requirements. PEAK-AIR and

this pamphlet have been designed to meet these rigorous standards.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR PEAK-AIR PEAK FLOW METER

The PEAK-AIR and the plastic mouthpieces may be hand washed. When hand washing,

thoroughly drain and air dry the peak flow meter. It is not recommended to submerge the

peak flow meter in water or to use solvents or strong cleaning solutions. Use only soap and

water. If used in a home setting by a single patient, weekly washing is recommended.

DO NOT BOIL.

Take a few moments to apply the accompanying personalized self-stick information labels

and circle-shaped labels. Your physician will assist you in positioning the color zone

labels along the scale.

1. Attach the appropriate size plastic mouthpiece on the

input side of the peak flow meter, the side clearly

marked with the arrow (). Both adult and pediatric

mouthpieces are tapered. Please be sure to insert the

wide end into the meter.

2. Make sure the sliding indicator is at the bottom (zero)

side of the scale.

3. Hold the peak flow meter so that your fingers do not

block the outlet opening or prevent the sliding indicator

from moving the full length of the scale. It is best to grasp the meter around the round

handle of the device.

4. While standing, inhale as deeply as possible, then place your mouth firmly around the

mouthpiece, making sure that your lips form a tight deal. The mouthpiece should be

inserted past the teeth.

5. BLOW OUT AS HARD AND FAST AS POSSIBLE, a short, sharp blast. This will cause

the indicator to move up the scale. NOTE: you do not have to expel all of the air in your

lungs, the indicator will most likely not move after the first few seconds of the effort.

6. The final position of the indicator is your PEFR (peak expiratory flow rate); make

note of this value.

7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 until you have completed three efforts correctly. Allow a minute

or so between efforts to rest. The variation between the readings should not exceed 10%.

HOW TO USE YOUR PEAK-AIR PEAK FLOW METER

8. Record the highest of the three readings. DO NOT AVERAGE, in your PEFR readings

personal log. Also record the date and time.

9. Compare the highest result with your personal best and calculate the percentage (divide

the current highest PEFR by the personal best PEFR and multiply by 100). Check to see

which zone you are currently in (green, yellow or red). Follow your physician’s advice

regarding your treatment for each zone (percentage of personal best) - green (80%-100%),

yellow (50%-80%), red (0%-50%).

Comments:

The following clinical information regarding color zones have provided as guidelines

only. They follow the recommendations of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood

Institute, National Asthma Education Program, Expert Panel Report - 1991.

GREEN - No asthma symptoms are present and the routine plan for maintaining control can

be followed. For patients on chronic medications, consistent readings in the green zone may

indicate an opportunity to consider a reduction in medications.

YELLOW - An acute exacerbation may be present and a temporary increase in medication

may be indicated.

RED - An immediate bronchodilator should be taken and the clinician should be notified

if PEFR measures do not return immediately and stay in yellow or green zones. Use the

PEAK-AIR under the guidance and supervision of a physician or other healthcare professional.

Contact this person if you note a downward change in your readings indicating a worsening

of your condition.

BENEFITS OF PEAK FLOW MONITORING

• Aids in the early detection of an impending asthma attack.

• Measurement of reduced respiratory capacity such as during an allergic reaction.

• Easy self-administration of the peak flow test can uncover harmful effects of air

pollution and environmental or occupational hazards.

• Portable convenience - package includes reusable mouthpiece and peak flow diary.

CAUTION: United States federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the

order of a physician
