Summary: Great Tool for Asthma Management
Comment: We bought this spirometer when our son was having intermittent asthma bouts. It is a great tool for monitoring breathing and need for Xopenex, etc.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Works good
Comment: Bought this for my eight year old son with asthma. We kept going through the plastic cheep ones and the numbers would all rub off so we decided to go digital. He loves it, and it makes it easier to not have to write down his numbers all the time. we also bought the software package, which is nice. The problem with the peak flow meter is that it can only be for ONE user. You can not differentiate between two people. Our daughter also needs to use a peak flow, but even though this one comes with different colored mouthpieces, their scores cannot be separated. Overall we are happy with it. We plan to buy our daughter one as well - It's just too bad they didn't make it multi-user.

Summary: easy asthma management
Comment: This is my first peak flow meter and it works beautifully. It comes with three mouthpieces and is easy to snap apart and clean. It feels solid and durable. It comes with a large booklet and a carrying case. Best of all, it stores the measurement in memory along with the time and the date it was taken, in case you don't have time to log it right away. It gives an immediate red, yellow, or green indication on each measurement also. The Microlife also measures FEV1, although this seems to vary proportionally to Peak Flow so I don't know what use it has.

Summary: 1 of 2 did not work
Comment: I purchased 2 of these meters. One of the two did not work properly. The readings were over 100 points higher than my mechanical meter. I kept getting a new "HI" reading just about each time I took readings. During an attack, I took my readings, and received a new "HI"(reading over 685). I then used my mechanical meter, and found I was in the red zone (actual reading 370).
The second meter I purchased is for my son, his 'appears' to be working properly. I will monitor this closely. As far as I am concerned, this meter is a piece of garbage.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Nice design
Comment: I tried a Pico electronic peak flow meter and it never gave consistent measurements.
The Microlife is a big improvement. It uses a fan/propeller to measure flow, via an
optical sensor. The part you blow through can be removed for cleaning without getting the electronics wet.
The Windows software is so-so. If you aren't running as a user with Administrator privileges, the program pops up an error message.
