TRUZONE® Peak Flow Meter

The TRUZONE® Peak Flow Meter is an essential device for effective asthma management, empowering patients to monitor their lung function and track changes in peak expiratory flow (PEF) readings. Daily use of the TRUZONE® Peak Flow Meter allows patients to recognize worsening lung function, identify triggers, and make informed decisions about their asthma treatment, potentially reducing the risk of emergency room visits and healthcare costs.

Key Benefits:

1. Objective Monitoring: Daily use of the TRUZONE® Peak Flow Meter provides objective PEF readings, enabling patients to monitor changes in lung function accurately. This proactive approach helps identify decreasing lung function before symptoms arise, allowing for timely intervention and adjustment of treatment plans.

2. Active Patient Participation: The TRUZONE® Peak Flow Meter encourages patients to become active partners in their asthma management by providing clear zones of control for modifying medications based on PEF readings. Patients can track trends and patterns in lung function, empowering them to make informed decisions about their treatment.

3. Early Warning System: By detecting changes in lung function early, the TRUZONE® Peak Flow Meter acts as an early warning system for patients, alerting them to potential asthma exacerbations before symptoms become severe. This proactive approach may help prevent asthma attacks and improve overall disease management.

How It Works:

• Peak Flow Monitoring: The TRUZONE® Peak Flow Meter measures peak expiratory flow by instructing users to take a deep breath, seal their lips around the mouthpiece, and blow out as hard and fast as possible.
