Important
Care and hygiene in cleaning your Peak Flow Meter
In order to prevent a contaminated Peak Flow Meter
becoming a health hazard, e.g. from an infection, the
following hygiene regulations must always be followed.
Your PARI Peak Flow Meter will usually give reliable results for up
to 3 years. At the end of this time, you must ask your doctor for a
new device.
The device will only function correctly if all moving parts move
freely, otherwise a replacement will be required. Do not apply oil
or other lubricants!
Please make sure that the device is not damaged and keep it
clean and free from dust. If you suspect that the device is dam-
aged or is giving incorrect results, contact your doctor immedi-
ately.
The mouthpiece of the Peak Flow Meter should be cleaned once
a week with a soft sponge that has been immersed in a solution of
washing up liquid diluted with water. The mouthpiece should then
be rinsed thoroughly with fresh water.
The device should only ever be used by one patient. This is par-
ticularly important in the case of contagious illnesses.
Please do not ever try to dismantle the device. This can
cause your Peak Flow Meter to give false measurements!
As your doctor is the only person who can draw up or amend your
Action Plan, take your PARI Peak Flow Meter and the peak flow log
with you when you visit the doctor.
The coloured bars on the left next to the measurement scale on
your PARI Peak Flow Meter (for setting your individual limit val-
ues) can be moved.
Never change the position of the coloured bars yourself!
Should you inadvertently move the coloured bars, please ask your
doctor to reset them. Fixing them using transparent adhesive tape
should prevent them being moved inadvertently.
