Vitalograph asmaPLAN+ - peak flow meter for home breathing monitoring

Vitalograph asmaPLAN+ - peak flow meter for daily measurements

The asmaPLAN+ peak flow meter is a handheld device for measuring peak expiratory flow, that is, the highest speed at which you can blow air out of your lungs. Regular measurements help people with asthma monitor their own condition and notice a worsening before clear symptoms appear. The device is made by Vitalograph, known for lung function testing equipment.

How a peak flow meter works

Just take a deep breath in, seal your lips around the mouthpiece and blow the air out in one strong exhalation. The indicator on the scale shows the result, which you can write down in a diary. By comparing readings over several days, it is easier to spot a trend and discuss it with your doctor.

Why have one at home

• simple to use, no batteries or setup,
• small, light body that fits in a bag or pocket,
• useful for adults and older children who can exhale on command,
• convenient for morning and evening measurements in the same place.

Specifications

A peak flow meter does not replace a medical consultation - interpreting the results and the course of action are determined by your treating doctor. It is a practical tool for home monitoring that makes it easier to talk about asthma treatment and keep track of its course.
