Pocket Peak Instructions for Cleaning

The Pocket Peak is a peak flow meter designed for use to monitor lung performance by measuring the speed at which the user can expel air from the lungs after inhaling a large breath. This measurement can inform users and their physicians how well air is moving through the lung airways and monitor changes in the lung capacity. Cleaning the peak flow monitor on a regular basis is important to help remove bacteria and other germs from the unit and keep it performing well.
