The Microlife Digital Peak Flow Meter with FEV1 is the doctor's choice for managing diseases that restrict lung performance. This advanced meter for spirometry includes a digital diary and measures air flow velocity and volume (FEV1) to indicate early warning signs for impending asthmatic incidents or conditions. Using these measurements in conjunction with a doctor's consultation allows patients with asthma, COPD and other lung diseases to manage their condition. PEF is Peak Expiratory Flow, or in other words measures how fast you can push air out of your lungs. FEV is Forced Expiratory Volume, or in other words measures how much air a person can exhale during a forced breath. Our products are designed to enable people to . Since our founding invention, the mercury-free digital thermometer, Microlife has been committed to a future of providing effective health and wellness products.
