The peak flow meter has an exclusive built-in AutoZone™ System that automatically calculates green, yellow, and red zones when the top of the color bar is set at a patient’s personal best or predicted average peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR). The Asthma Action Plan Sticker, which provides color-coded areas where you can write medication instructions, can be affixed to the back of the meter.
This peak flow meter has a built-in Asthma Management Zone System and Daily Record Chart.
This is the ideal pediatric holding chamber with a replaceable, washable
low-resistance valve that is sensitive enough to respond to the lowest
of pediatric flow rates. The clear mouthpiece allows caregivers to see
the valve move when assisting newborns and small children with inhaler
medications.
Detachable Pediatric Masks are available separately and can be removed for
optimal drug delivery without the added cost of buying a new chamber. Accommodates
both CFC and HFA inhaler medications.
The drug delivery system is conveniently sized to be carried in a pocket, helps patients coordinate their inhalation with the medication release by limiting air intake until the drug canister is depressed providing correct, consistent drug delivery every time.
The booklets are available in English and Spanish text and include simple explanations about:
what happens during an asthma episode
what are asthma triggers
how to follow three-zone asthma management
how to manage asthma at school
what are nocturnal, exercise-induced and occupational asthma
The videos teach patients how to use a peak flow meter and what the measurements mean, and show them how to facilitate and improve delivery of MDI medications with a spacer or valved holding chamber. Information in English and Spanish. (Closed-captioned)
