Product Information

Peak Flow Meter

This peak flow meter is a monitoring device designed for single-patient use to measure the Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR), which is the maximum burst flow rate reading during forced\ exhalation. It is helpful in monitoring respiratory conditions such as asthma or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The monitoring device can be used anywhere the patient needs to measure their peak expiratory flow rate. It is intended for adults and children.

The Sunset Peak Flow Meter is a hand-held monitoring device that measures Peak Expiratory Flow (PEP) generated by the patient during a forced exhalation maneuver. It can be used to objectively measure  PEF by tracking day-to-day changes in breathing patterns.

Specification

• Universal Peak Flow covers full and low range. Suitable for
  adults and children.

• Measurement Range: Full (0-800 L/min) and Low (0-300 L/min) ranges.

• The device is intended for a single user only.

• Three-zone helps patients comply with treatment regimens. The color-coded indicators can be adjusted to delineate a patient’s green, yellow, and red zones based on personal best peak flow. Color zones setting up shall be prescribed by your physician.

Caution

The device does not contain any hazardous substances and may be disposed of with your normal household refuse.

Product Usage Instructions

Peak Flow Meter

1. Read the instruction sheet before use.
2. Stand or sit straight.
3. Take a deep breath.
4. Hold the peak flow meter.
5. Make sure the indicator is at the bottom of the scale.
6. Put your lips firmly around the mouthpiece so you can make a tight seal.
7. 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.
8. Read the peak flow value next to the indicator and write down your reading.
9. Slide the indicator back down and repeat the measuring process totally three times.
10. Write down the highest of the three readings along with the date and time.
11. The measurement records can be provided for monitoring respiratory conditions, self-evaluation, and medication reference to your physician.

Simply locate the point on the Daily Record, below the Date and Time that corresponds to the PEF you wish to record. Mark an X at that point.
