What is the Mini-Wright Low Range Peak Flow Meter?
The Mini-Wright Low Range Peak Flow Meter from Able is a mechanical Expiratory Peak Flow Meter, suitable for children and patients with severe flow obstruction. This individually calibrated respiratory device delivers great accurate and consistent results thanks to the aerofoil in the mouthpiece.
When is a Peak Flow Meter used?
Peak flow monitoring is a well-known tool in asthma, COPD and pulmonary fibrosis management. Peak flow meters help patients monitor their respiratory disease. Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) is a measurement of how fast a patient can blow out. When a patient is well, their PEF is higher, when the airways are narrow - for example with asthma- PEF is lower.
Who benefits from using a Peak Flow Meter?
The device is suitable for children or patients with severe flow obstruction. It features a one-way valve for additional hygiene.
Peak Flow requires a forceful exhalation. To encourage young children to do this, the Windmill trainer is an incentive challenge. The further you move the windmill from the mouth, the more force is required to turn the windmill.
