Customer Rating:      Summary: Works fine and it's fun Comment: This is the first time i've used one of these and it's fun..i just 'blow' into it and get a PEF reading, e.g. 550 and a FEV1 reading, e.g. 3.3..as of yet i'm not into studying all the terms and values but i intend to take readings to see if they're 'consistent' and don't go down, how the readings are when i get up, after i eat, walk etc. ... i do admit i don't clean 'after each' use as suggested but i keep an eye on it to see if it looks like it needs cleaning and probably will do so once a week or so..i wipe the mouthpiece each time , though..nifty little gadget and as important with me to play with as a blood pressure cuff.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great Tool for Asthma Management Comment: We bought this spirometer when our son was having intermittent asthma bouts. It is a great tool for monitoring breathing and need for Xopenex, etc.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Works good Comment: Bought this for my eight year old son with asthma. We kept going through the plastic cheep ones and the numbers would all rub off so we decided to go digital. He loves it, and it makes it easier to not have to write down his numbers all the time. we also bought the software package, which is nice. The problem with the peak flow meter is that it can only be for ONE user. You can not differentiate between two people. Our daughter also needs to use a peak flow, but even though this one comes with different colored mouthpieces, their scores cannot be separated. Overall we are happy with it. We plan to buy our daughter one as well - It's just too bad they didn't make it multi-user.
Customer Rating:      Summary: easy asthma management Comment: This is my first peak flow meter and it works beautifully. It comes with three mouthpieces and is easy to snap apart and clean. It feels solid and durable. It comes with a large booklet and a carrying case. Best of all, it stores the measurement in memory along with the time and the date it was taken, in case you don't have time to log it right away. It gives an immediate red, yellow, or green indication on each measurement also. The Microlife also measures FEV1, although this seems to vary proportionally to Peak Flow so I don't know what use it has.
