Measures both Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) and Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1).
PEF: Maximum speed at which air is forcefully exhaled, helping monitor airway resistance and function.
FEV1: Volume of air exhaled in the first second of a forced breath, essential for evaluating the severity of lung conditions like asthma and COPD.
Smart Digital Display:
Provides digital readings for both PEF and FEV1, making it easy to track lung function accurately.
Typically comes with a backlit display for use in any lighting condition.
Portable & Lightweight:
Compact, lightweight design, making it easy to carry around and use at home, in the office, or while traveling.
Powered by batteries for convenience and portability.
Smart Features:
Bluetooth/USB connectivity in some models to sync data with a mobile app or computer, allowing for easy tracking and analysis of your lung function over time.
Memory function to store past measurements and track lung health progress.
Ability to store multiple test results, making it ideal for long-term monitoring.
Color-Coded Zones:
Some models feature color-coded indicators (green, yellow, red) to help interpret results easily:
Green: Normal or optimal lung function.
Yellow: Caution, airway narrowing or some restriction detected.
Red: Immediate action required, significant drop in lung function.
Built-in Reference Ranges:
Many spirometers include age, gender, and height-based reference ranges to help interpret results against typical lung function parameters.
Some models can automatically calculate predicted lung function values, comparing your results to typical values for your demographic.
Real-Time Data Tracking:
Provides immediate feedback after each test, allowing users to track their results and make timely adjustments to their asthma or COPD management plan.
Results can often be logged and tracked over time via mobile apps, allowing for long-term tracking of lung health.
Multi-User Capability:
Suitable for use by multiple family members, with the ability to store results for different users, making it ideal for households where more than one person requires monitoring.
Easy to Use:
Simple to operate with minimal setup. Most devices have one-button operation to start the test, and results are displayed within seconds.
Non-invasive: Only requires breathing into the device, making it suitable for regular use at home.
Durable & Hygienic:
Often designed with medical-grade materials for durability.
Easy to clean, with detachable mouthpieces for improved hygiene.
How It Works:
Setup:
Power on the device and make sure it’s properly calibrated (many models come pre-calibrated).
Attach the disposable mouthpiece (if provided) to ensure hygiene.
Testing:
Inhale deeply, place the mouthpiece in your mouth, and blow out as forcefully and quickly as possible.
Repeat the test 2-3 times for accuracy, noting the highest reading of each.
Interpreting Results:
The device displays PEF and FEV1 values. Compare these results to your predicted values or reference ranges.
Use the color-coded zones to quickly assess whether your readings fall within the safe, cautionary, or critical zones.
Tracking:
Review the results for trends (improvements or declines in lung function over time).
Sync the device to an app (if supported) to keep track of your lung health and share data with healthcare professionals.
