AsthmaMentorTM Peak Flow Meter has been designed to help clinicians and pharmacists teach patients what to do when their asthma conditions change. The exclusive built-in AutoZoneTM System automatically calculates green, yellow and red zones when the top of the color bar is set at a patient's personal best expiratory flow rates. 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. Your instructions are then easily matched with daily peak flow readings, helping your patient comply with them. Green means "go" or follow the regular medication plan. Yellow means "caution", the asthma condition might be worsening. Red means "stop" and get medical attention immediately. Studies show that routine peak flow monitoring can help you and your patients better manage asthma. How to use AsthmaMentorTM Hold AsthmaMentorTM by its handle when measuring your peak flow. Make sure the indicator is at the bottom of the scale, closest to the mouthpiece. If not, slide it down gently. Stand up, if possible. Breathe in as deeply as you can. Place your mouth around the mouthpiece, so your lips form a tight seal. Blow out as hard and fast as you can. This will move the indicator up the scale. The number beside its final position is your peak flow measurement. Take three readings, and record the highest one - along with the date and time - in your Daily Record Chart. | ||||||||||||
