CAUTION
When a peak flow meter is used to
watch lung conditions such as
asthma, the user should be under the
care of a physician (or other licensed
health care professional). A licensed
health care professional’s advice is
required to understand the meaning
and importance of the measures you
get with your peak flow meter, and to
decide on an appropriate treatment
plan.
LIMITATIONS OF USE &
CONTRAINDICATIONS
A peak flow test should only be
carried out when the user is at rest
(i.e. does not experience shortness of
breath) and in good health, and thus
in a suitable condition for the test.
An analysis of the results of a
peak flow test alone is not enough to
make a diagnosis of a clinical
condition. Test interpretation and
suggested treatment must be
provided by a Healthcare
professional.
A correct peak flow test depends on
the user’s capability exhale all air
completely and as fast as possible. If
these fundamental conditions are
not respected then the results
obtained during testing will not be
accurate, and therefore the test
results are “not acceptable”.
The acceptability of a test is the
responsibility of the user. Special
attention should be given when
testing the elderly, disabled and
children.
The device should never be used
when it is possible or probable that
the validity of the results may be
compromised due to any external
factors.
Some conditions may pose a
relative danger to a patient or
affect the validity of peak flow
performance and results. These
include, but are not limited to
unstable cardiovascular status,
