I was looking around at the pico and the microlife spirometer as I am considering getting one. I found this bundle kit that included the software so that I can download it to my computer. I would like to be able to see trends over time and insert notes for when I am sick etc. I have in the past used an excel sheet for my clinic FEV's and I thought this might be even handier. I am interested in trackings maller changes and seeing if I can correlate them to things in my life instead of just when I am sick. I am on the fence right now, still doing some research.

Hmmmmm.... I wonder what the margin of error is.
ReplyDeleteA normal PFT machine at the doc's office can have a margin of error of +- 3-5%.
I can imagine this device's margin of error could be even larger.... so if the point is to monitor small changes, I think the device could confuse things.
For me a peak flow meter and just knowing my lungs is sufficient.
