User questions & answers

Question:	What is different about 2020 version vs other product being sold and which is better
Answer:	I don't know what other product you are talking about but as far as incentive spirometers go they should all be able to do the same thing. I don't think one is better than the other they all work by the same principle.
Question:	Is the bottom cover (the piece that is underneath the unit) made of plastic or cardboard
Answer:	The bottom cover is made of hard plastic.
Question:	Since this is not Amazon prime can it be returned if it is damaged
Answer:	I think so within a month
Question:	Why is best on the bottom not the top on the yellow indicator
Answer:	The placement is a little confusing, but the yellow indicator is supposed to help with the steadiness of your inhalation; too slow causes the piece to stay low (below "best", but too fast will cause the piece to rise higher (where "good" and "better" meet). By the looks of it, you want to be able to get the piece to hover between "best" and "better." In a way, it's strength training for your lungs, much like weight training - if you perform a bicep curl too quickly, the muscle fibers won't get the chance to register the load and changes in length, and you'll probably be very sore the next day...but move too slowly and you'll tire yourself out before your body can truly make any significant physical changes.
Question:	can i refill these canasters
Answer:	Hello This item is not refillable... Sincerely; Customer Service
Question:	can these be refilled or is it one time use only
Answer:	Yes they make an adapter to use on a bigger propane tank and refill these smaller ones.. The picture shows 16oz can. You can get these at wal-mart for $6.24 for 2 can 16.4oz.adapter: https://smile.amazon.com/DozyAnt-Regulator-Propane-Adapter-Cylinder/dp/B00VVNGW5C/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1493610792&sr=8-4&keywords=propane+refill+adapter
Question:	How do you dispose of them
Answer:	Take them to a very rural location and shoot them from at least 200 yards away with a centerfire rifle. Any scraps found are recyclable steel.Seriously, you can use the green plastic key that comes with them to completely drain them by removing the valve core, and they are recyclable at some centers. You may have to call a few to find one scrap yard or recycle center that takes them. If you have a lot, metal scrappers will probably come pick them up for you for free. You can also buy an adapter for the large white propane tanks, to use in filling the little green tanks. Look on Y ou tub e for videos. You can refill white tanks or exchange them at gas stations, hardware, and propane tank companies. You can fill the green tanks in your back yard, but be careful to assure good ventilation , a spark free environment, and to not freeze your fingers.
Question:	Are these gold plated sterling bottles? Since you can buy this 2 pack at Walmart for
Answer:	Good question. I will carefully search the canisters for AU. Since Amazon is $4 higher then Wal-Mart, there would have to be .003 oz of 99.9 percent gold to be equal in price.Bill

User questions & answers

Question:	Which one is better between this and 1 ball (Voldyne
Answer:	This unit uses progressively more resistance. You're directed to inhale so the blue ball is at the top, then wait a second before increasing the air intake until the yellow ball is at the top., then ditto for the red ball. I find the increasing resistance is beneficial. I don't know anything about the Voldyne 5000.
Question:	will this help oxygen levels, my oxygen level drops after walking & I want to build up my oxygen levels
Answer:	It seems to have helped me. It will give you an accurate idea of how deeply you can breathe and if you are getting the stale air out. For the price, you can't beat it!
Question:	is this for inhale and exhale? Thank you in advance for your assistance
Answer:	Inhale only.
Question:	to be clear this is to measure lung capacity not build it. this machine has no resistance. isn't it just a home pulmonary function test
Answer:	To exercise properly, you should not try to max out the 3 balls faster, but EACH ball should take at least 1 second to rise to the top.The 3 chambers have inhalation rates inscribed on them- 600, 900 and 1200 cc/sec. This means if the first ball is suspended in the air for 1 second, inhalation is 600cc of air and so on for all the 3 balls. Taking one second for each ball, total inhaled volume will be 2700cc or 2.7 liter. Inspiratory capacity for healthy adults is 2.4 liter to 3.5 liter, so this device is sufficiently designed to exercise as well as measure your breath

About Product

Calculation of Inspired Volume

The 3 chambers have inhalation rates inscribed on them- 600, 900 and 1200 cc/sec. This means if the first ball is suspended in the air (not stuck to the top) for 1 second, inhalation is 600cc of air.

User questions & answers

Question:	Volume what is the max volume of this device
Answer:	The maximum volume is 5000.
Question:	Do you remove your lips from the mouthpiece when you are exhaling
Answer:	That would be fine but can just exhale through your nose
Question:	What is the normal number
Answer:	The directions have two tables, one for male, one for female. They have height across the top from 58" to 78" and age along the left side from 20 to 80. The normal volumes range from 1250m for a short 80 year old male to a high of 4000m for a tall 20 year old male. Females range from 1300m to 3500m for the same ages and heights. If you know your height and age, you can determine your personal normal capacity.
Question:	I would love to see the directions. My nurse gave me one of these and I am still in the hospital. I am confused about the good/better/best meter
Answer:	I believe that the good/better/best meter is where you should keep the meter while you are breathing and measuring your air volume. Instead of a powerful intake or exhale, or a very weak intake or exhale, keep the meter as close as you are able to the" best" level while using the exerciser. Or ask your nurse for instructions. Mine never worked and I discarded it.

User questions & answers

Question:	How often should I use the device
Answer:	Thanks for your question. This is Emma from Bilykoo. 6 days a week----2 sessions per day (morning and evening), 2 sets of 10 breathes per session with a few minute rest between sets if needed. Continuing to use as directed, and you should be experiencing decreased dyspnea, increased O2 Saturations, better cough clearance, as well as better speech and swallow. Don't ever give up- take it one day at a time, using the exerciser will make a difference. Best Regards, Emma

Answer:	No there is not.. It just like inhaling regular air. I do find this helped me with my breathing.

Superior digital accuracy

Accuracy: Superior to mechanical methods, digital peak flow meters provide an exact reading, avoiding any accidental mistakes.

The meter measures the flow rate at one hundredths of a liter per minute, and the results are automatically recorded. Consistent and accurate readings will improve your ability to accurately assess your condition.

Memory: Automatically stores 240 readings

The highest reading from each session is automatically stored, allowing you to test multiple times and record your best result.

Reports show that patients who measure and record their readings are better able to monitor and manage their conditions.

Peak Flow and FEV1 tracking software

Connect your meter to your PC and automatically download your readings.

With the user friendly analysis software, you can:

• chart your progress
• print graphs
• make notes about your symptoms or triggers
• export your results to a spreadsheet
• share your result with your health care provider

How to take a measurement

Step 1: Standing up, hold the peak flow meter as shown with both hands.

Step 2: Take a deep breath and blow into the mouthpiece as hard as you can for as long as possible.

Step 3: As you exhale, bend forward as shown to push all the air from your lungs.

Step 4: Measure your peak flow rate twice daily and close to the same time each day.

Complete instructions in English/Spanish included.

How does the risk indicator work?

Whether you are using national standards, or your own customized numbers, the green, yellow and red bars on the display are a quick visual reference to show how your results compare.

As your peak flow raises or lowers, the arrow on the display will show the measurement as within the normal (green), borderline (yellow) or in the danger (red) range.

What do the colors mean?

• Green = 80% or higher than your personal best
• Yellow = 60 - 79% of your personal best
• Red = 50 - 59% of your personal best

How do I clean my monitor?

Simply separate the mouthpiece and measuring tube from the meter, then clean the parts with soap & warm water. Air dry.

Removable mouthpiece

Designed for all ages, this monitor comes with 3 color coded mouthpieces. Use them to monitor yourself and your child, or rotate them between uses for cleaning.
