Microlife Digital Peak Flow Meter PF100 includes a digital diary and measures "Peak Expiratory Flow" (PEF) and Forced Expiratory Volume in 1-second (FEV1) to indicate early warning signs for emerging asthmatic incidents. PEF is the fastest speed air can be blown out of the lungs after inhalation. According to medical practice guidelines and recommendations, patients with asthma, COPD, emphysema, and other lung diseases need to manage their condition at home or on-the-go during one’s daily routine. It fits nicely in a purse, briefcase, or book bag. Used in conjunction with the PC analyzer software (sold separately), this device becomes a powerful instrument for data recording and analysis. Easily e-mail or print graphs/reports for your doctor and eliminate the daily nuisance of handwritten records and diaries.
Studies show that accurate daily measurements are only half of the challenge to managing asthma, COPD and other lung illnesses. The measurement is only as good as the accuracy with which it is recorded. With Microlife electronic peak flow meter, patients will never have to worry about making mistakes or forgetting to record measurements because the PF100 does both for you automatically. The Microlife Digital Monitor for Peak Flow/FEV1 records each measurement automatically and stores up to 240 peak flow and FEV1 measurements.
Monitoring Peak Flow and FEV1 in between visits to the doctor can be vital to a patient's care. Peak Flow (PEF) and Forced Expiratory Volume in 1-second (FEV1) measurements can tell how well lungs are breathing by monitoring airflow. These important measurements help determine whether the patient's medications are working, if dosages need to be changed, or if the patient's management program needs revision.
The Microlife Peak Flow/FEV1 Meter PF100 was specifically designed for use by children and adults.
