Product Information
Full details
The KNOXZY Peak Flow Meter is a portable, handheld device for individuals who need to monitor their lung function, including athletes, exercisers, oxygen users, and particularly asthmatics. Its key benefit is providing accurate, instant readings of airway ventilation to help detect changes and potential asthma attacks early. A potential caveat is that it requires proper technique for accurate measurement, and readings can vary if not used consistently. This lung capacity tester offers a dual flow range suitable for both adults and children, washable components, and the option for disposable mouthpieces.

FAQs
Who should use a peak flow meter?
Peak flow meters are recommended for individuals with asthma to monitor their condition, but they can also be useful for athletes, exercisers, and oxygen users who want to track their lung function.
How often should I use the KNOXZY Peak Flow Meter?
For asthma management, it is typically recommended to measure your peak flow once a day, usually in the morning before taking any medication, and again in the evening. Your doctor will provide specific guidance based on your condition.
What does a 'dual flow range' mean?
It means the device is calibrated to accurately measure airflow for both lower lung capacity (typical for children) and higher lung capacity (typical for adults), making it versatile.
Can I share my peak flow meter with someone else?
It is not recommended to share peak flow meters due to hygiene concerns, especially if disposable mouthpieces are not used for every person. If sharing is unavoidable, ensure thorough cleaning between users or use disposable mouthpieces.
How do I know if my readings are good?
Your doctor will help establish your personal 'best' peak flow reading. Readings are interpreted relative to this best and can indicate changes in your airway function. Deviations from your personal best should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
Is the KNOXZY Peak Flow Meter washable?
Yes, the main unit of the KNOXZY Peak Flow Meter is washable. Ensure it is completely dry before use or storage. Disposable mouthpieces should be discarded after single use.
What is the benefit of using disposable mouthpieces?
Disposable mouthpieces offer enhanced hygiene by providing a fresh, clean mouthpiece for each use, reducing the risk of germ transmission and simplifying cleaning routines.
Troubleshooting
Device shows no reading or a very low reading.
Ensure you are using the correct technique: stand up, inhale deeply, seal your lips tightly around the mouthpiece, and exhale as forcefully and quickly as possible. Reset the pointer and try again. Check if the device is clean and functioning correctly.
Readings are inconsistent.
Practice using the device daily to develop consistent technique. Ensure you are performing each measurement with maximum effort and the same technique. Check that the mouthpiece is sealed properly and that the device is clean.
Device appears difficult to clean.
The main unit is washable; use a damp cloth. If using a reusable mouthpiece, it should be washed with warm, soapy water. Ensure all parts are dried thoroughly before reassembly or storage.
Pointer does not reset to zero.
Gently tap the side of the meter or check the manual for specific reset instructions for your model. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the pointer from returning to zero.
