Customer Reviews of Microlife PF 100 Peak Flow Meter for Spirometry with FEV1
Customer Review: Reasonably reiable instruement
Summary: 4 Stars
I can't really judge the accuracy of this device since I do not have a reliable standard available to compare it to. But the readings seem reasonable and correlate well with my subjective feelings of congestion or free breathing. I have taken more than 100 readings and they make an interesting plot. The only reason for less than 5 stars is the occasionally there is flacky reading.Customer Review: Peak flow meter
Summary: 5 Stars
The microlife spirometer and peak flow meter is the only one I have found on the market that not only measures the flow, but stores the results.
My husband is battling COPD which manifested itself as a residual to major surgery which required a lengthy period on a ventilator. He is progressing well now, and the peak flow meter is a great tool for measuring his progress.
Customer Review: Fast, accurate, easy to use, and came with all necessary accessories
Summary: 5 Stars
Pros:
* Light
* Quick reading times
* Lots of functionality
* Comes with extra mouthpieces, USB cable, nice carrying case, and more
Cons:
* Seems to forget the date and time settings if you remove the batteries even for a moment. Setting these requires a toothpick or paper clip. Not a big deal.
* Beep is a little loud and long
Customer Review: Not sensitive enough to register any reading for someone with emphysema.
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this item to help determine how well a person with emphysema was breathing and although I could easily register a reading using it the patient could not budge it. When I called the manufacture they could provide no help or alternate item. Patient was tested in a breathing chamber and was at 17% anticipated capacity therefor the need for the meter.Customer Review: I like it...
Summary: 4 Stars
I've never used another Peak Flow Meter, but this one works just like it's supposed to. When I first opened it, it didn't seem to work. I called tech support, the call was answered immediately by a person. We figured out what was wrong right away (the tube wasn't lined up right), and it has worked right ever since.
