Peak Flow Meters for Monitoring Lung Function
The peak flow meter is a medical device that measures the maximum respiratory flow (peak flow) in litres of air per minute. The peak flow readings help healthcare providers assess a patient's lung function and can contribute to treatment plans, e.g. an asthma action plan. Such a measuring device is used by patients with chronic respiratory and lung diseases in the home environment. If used regularly changes in lung function can be detected at an early stage. This allows a quick response and either a change in medication or a visit to a doctor. A peak flow diary helps to keep an eye on the peak flow values and to draw precise conclusions.
Find the Right Peak Flow Meter
At Praxisdienst, you will find a wide range of peak flow meters from reputable manufacturers such as Vitalograph, designed for effective asthma management. Most devices have a measurement range of 50–800 L/min, making them suitable for both adults and children.
The asmaPLAN+ Peak Flow Meter from Vitalograph features an individually adjustable traffic-light scale. The different zones can be set by a clinician, allowing patients to assess their values at home and take appropriate action.
The Universal Peak Flow Meter also offers an adjustable traffic-light scale. With separately available safety mouthpieces, it can be used by multiple patients without risk of cross-contamination. This makes it ideal for clinics, hospitals and rehabilitation centres.
What do the different colours of the traffic light system mean?
Green means good control (80 to 100 % of personal best reading) and your condition is considered stable. Yellow means caution (50 % to 80 % of personal best reading). Red means danger (less than 50 % of personal best reading) and your condition is considered unstable.
How regularly must a measurement be taken?
It is ideal to check every day; in the morning after getting up, at noon, and in the evening. In case of symptoms like respiratory distress, it is imperative that measurements be taken directly.
Electronic Lung Monitors
Electronic Lung Monitors
In addition to devices for measuring peak flow in adults and children, this category also includes electronic lung monitors such as the Electronic COPD Screener and the Lung Age Monitor for assessing FEV1 and lung age. While the COPD Screener is used for early detection of pre-symptomatic COPD, the Lung Age Monitor is applied as part of smoking cessation programmes. This device measures FEV1 and lung age, clearly demonstrating the impact of smoking on life expectancy.
Other diagnostic instruments for measuring heart and lung function, as well as tools for use in various medical specialties, can be found in the Diagnostics overview. This section also includes suitable accessories, teaching materials, and products for therapy and wellness.
