Usage and Instructions
Please reach the package insert for full instructions on how to use your Peak Flow Meter.
Here are the basic instructions:
- Move the marker to the bottom of the numbered scale.
- Stand up straight.
- Take a deep breath. Fill your lungs all the way.
- Hold your breath while you place the mouthpiece in your mouth, between your teeth. Close your lips around it. Do not put your tongue against or inside the hole.
- 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.
- Write down the number you get.
- If you coughed or did not complete the steps correctly, don’t write down the number. Redo the test, then record the number you get.
- Move the marker back to the bottom and repeat all these steps 2 more times. The highest of the 3 numbers is your peak flow number. Write it down in your log chart.
Warnings
Many children under the age of 5 can’t use a peak flow meter very well. But some are able to. It’s recommended to get your child to start using the peak flow meter before the age of 5 so that they can get used to it.
