Intended Use
The TruPeak Peak Flow Meter is a simple mechanical device that responds to and indicates the Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) generated by the user during a forced exhalation maneuver.
Device Story
Mechanical device; measures Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR). User performs forced exhalation into device inlet; internal piston extends spring via pressure spike; indicator moves to maximum displacement position; position corresponds to PEFR value on scale. Logarithmic piston displacement provides higher resolution at lower flow rates. Used by patients for self-monitoring; provides quantitative feedback to assist in respiratory management.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Mechanical peak flow meter; logarithmic piston-spring mechanism; manual indicator; plastic housing; no electronic components; no software; no energy source.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring measurement of Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) via forced exhalation maneuver to monitor respiratory status.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A peak-flow meter for spirometry is a device used to measure a patient's maximum ventilatory flow rate.
