Studies Demonstrate Accuracy of Flexicare Peak Flow Meter

Two independent studies demonstrated that the Mini-Wright Peak Flow Meter was one of only two devices (out of 12 devices tested) that met the ISO 23747 measuring “standards of accuracy” and “successfully met all performance evaluation criteria,” according to Flexicare.^1-2

Mini-Wright is the only mechanical peak flow meter that meets all required accuracy standards, according to the company.^1,2 (The other comparable device was a digital meter.)

Mini-Wright comes in two options: Mini-Wright Standard, for peak expiratory flow rate of up to 880 LPM; and Mini-Wright Low Range, for children or adults with a peak expiratory flow rate of up to 400 LPM.

The device also allows patients to monitor and keep track of their own peak flow readings and seek further help and advice following changes that may mean adjustments are required to their current treatment.

More information is available on the company’s website.
