Peak Flow Meters© Healthwise, Incorporated A peak flow meter is an inexpensive, pocket-size device that
measures peak expiratory flow (PEF), or how much air a person can breathe out. To
measure PEF, the person takes a deep breath and then blows into a tube on the
peak flow meter as hard and as fast as possible. This can be done at
home. Peak flow meters come in many shapes and sizes. ByHealthwise Staff
