Does your peak flow meter tells your FEV1? Are you tired of making your Asthma diary day by day? Things can be changed if you use a spirometer peak flow meter? A priometer with fast test and display function, eases the your Asthma and COPD monitoring, provides the medicine basis,and your conditions can be presented in a smooth way instead of a manual peak flow meter.
Sonmol as the respiratory medical device manufacturer provides a Bluetooth peak flow meter, it provides the best solution for both inpatient and outpatient care. With the smart peak flow meter, expiratory peak flow rate(PEF) and FEV1, (forced expiratory volume in the first second) values can be displayed and stored in the device and sync to the smartphone only with one button press. What a revolution they made on a peak flow meter!
Innovation and technology improve our home care medical devices, we make the digital peak flow meter an efficient guide to meet all the Gold standards of Asthma control. The test values and Asthma accuracy are Sonmol’s concerns. resptrainer.com provides the following information to compare the function and points of the features of sonmol electronic peak flow meter for your clear reference if you are just inquiring to change or to buy an electronic peak flow meter.

Why Fev1 is needed in Asthma and COPD management and diagnose.
For Asthma:
Quo:The Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) defines asthma by combining variable respiratory symptoms with variable expiratory airflow limitation, expressed as an FEV1/FVC ratio less than 75-80% (7).

For COPD:
Quo:Forced expiratory volume (FEV1) calculates the amount of air that a person can force out of their lungs in 1 second. FEV1 values that are lower than average suggest the presence of COPD. Working out a person’s FEV1 value can help diagnose chronic lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Let’s not forget: the GOLD criteria for COPD are based on post-bronchodilator FEV1, published by
