User's Manual

PeakFlow
+
works with iOS and
Android devices and connects via
Bluetooth. PeakFlow
+
is powered by
2 x 1.5 V AAA Alkaline batteries.
Depending on the usage and
manufacturer, each set of new
batteries should last for about six to
eight months. If the batteries are
replaced or when the device is
discarded, dispose the same as
electronic waste. Use Alkaline
batteries only.
PeakFlow
+
is designed to work with
Aerobit Reusable Turbines. When
performing a test, the user exhales
into the turbine. The airflow
generated sets a rotor in motion.
PeakFlow
+
registers the speed of the
spinning rotor, converts it and
transfers the data via Bluetooth to
the smartphone app.
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”.
