Indications for Use
The Asthma Monitor AM1+ is an electronic measurement device to monitor the lung
function (determination of the respiratory flows and volume) with high reproducibility
wherever and whenever is a need of. The AM1+ measures the flow during expiration
serving for the calculation of further parameters as FEV1.
The AM1+ is used to monitor the respiratory status of human beings in the areas
asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder and in areas like occupational
medicine, clinical trials and disease management.
The patient is informed of the results by numeric values for selected parameters (e.g.
PEF, FEV1). Furthermore a visual control unit, displayed as a kind of traffic lights, allows
an immediate indication of the measurement based on criteria defined by the patient's
physician.
The device saves the results of a measurement (always with date and time)
automatically in an internal database. In addition, a questionnaire functionality can be
called up by the use of a software package (AMOS) to record e.g. the "Quality of Life"
status. When enabled, the AM1+ can be programmed with a couple of questions,
where the patient can select then from a couple of different answers. This information
is also stored in the internal database and can be transmitted for evaluation to a
standard PC using the software package AMOS.
The AM1+ is designed to replace ordinary peak flow meter, diary and pencil by a
single system. Easy handling, sturdy and handy design allow the Asthma Monitor
AM1+ being used almost everywhere: at work, at home, in school, for experts opinion,
research or clinical trial purposes and in occupational medicine.
The AM1+ operates with serial data transmission whereas the AM1+ with BT option
