Mechanical peak flow meter IN-CHECK NASAL

portable

The In-Check Nasal is a portable inspiratory flow meter, which measures nasal passage obstruction; this helps to indicate whether the patient is suffering from allergic rhinitis, which causes discomfort to sufferers. The device uses a simple measurement of how quickly the air can move through the nose when inhaling forcefully. This allows easy monitoring, on a daily basis, by the patient wherever they are and provides an accurate assessment of nasal congestion and response to treatment.

The flow rate achieved can be noted by checking the position of the cursor against the calibrated scale. In-Check Nasal measures nasal inspiratory flow between 30-370 L/min. This product enables the physician to judge the degree of obstruction and helps assess the benefits of therapeutic intervention, by providing an objective assessment of nasal airway patency. The In-Check Nasal is essentially the same product as the In-Check Oral, but with a mask included; this enables the measurement to be taken from the nasal rather than through the mouth. There are 2 mask sizes available, small and medium.
