Peak expiratory flow meters

This European Standard specifies requirements for peak expiratory flow meters (PEFM) intended for the assessment of pulmonary function in spontaneously breathing humans.
This European Standard covers all devices that measure peak expiratory flow either as part of an integrated lung function device or as a stand-alone device.

Spirometer für den exspiratorischen Spitzenfluss

Spiromètre permettant la mesure du débit de pointe expiratoire

La présente Norme spécifie les exigences relatives aux spiromètres permettant de mesurer les débits de pointe expiratoire (PEFM), destinés à l'évaluation de la fonction pulmonaire chez les êtres humains en respiration spontanée.
La présente Norme européenne couvre tous les dispositifs permettant de mesurer le débit de pointe expiratoire soit en tant que partie d'un dispositif de fonctionnement des poumons intégré, soit en tant que dispositif indépendant.
