Truzone - Peak Flow Meter
A peak flow meter is a portable and inexpensive device that is used to measure how well air moves out of your lungs. It provides a reliable means of managing asthma symptoms and can help to prevent an asthma attack and should be a part of your asthma plan. Track your daily PEF (peak expiratory flow) quickly and easily, anywhere. Know if your asthma symptoms are worsening, before symptoms cause an exacerbation so you can take appropriate action to bring your asthma back under control.
Take control of your asthma
Many people underestimate the severity of their asthma.
Because symptoms can come on slowly, you may not notice increasing limitations on physical activities — limitations that may be accepted as “normal”. This is actually a warning sign that your asthma is not well controlled and can potentially be life threatening.
Peak flow readings track these changes in your lung function and may even help identify triggers aggravating your condition. Taking daily readings with a TRUZONE* Peak Flow Meter will help you stay on track with your asthma care. This device allows you to take daily peak flow readings and help you stay on track with your asthma care.
The TRUZONE* Peak Flow Meter is easy to use, BPA (bisphenol A) free, lightweight, self-contained and portable.

Step 1
Visually inspect the device and make sure there are no defects or foreign objects lodged inside. This can be done by lightly blowing into the PFM to see if the yellow indicator moves, then resetting the indicator. Replace IMMEDIATELY if any defect is noticed.
Step 2
To reset the yellow indicator, gently shake the device vertically until it is positioned directly behind the reset diamond.
Step 3
Blow out as hard and as fast as possible. The force of the air coming out of your lungs will cause the yellow indicator to move along the numbered scale.
