TruZone
* PFM METHOD: Because the scales on both your
TruZone
* PFM and Daily
Record are identical, it is easy to record your PEF. Simply lay your
TruZone
* PFM directly
onto the Daily Record. Align the upper and lower limits of the PEF scales of both your
TruZone
* PFM and Daily Record. Now mark with an “X” below the corresponding Date
and Time entry–the point where the yellow indicator rests.
Conventional Method: Simply locate the point on the Daily Record, below the Date and
Time, that corresponds to the PEF you wish to record. Mark an “X” at that point.
!
Always keep your Daily Record up-to-date. Additional copies of the Daily Record can
be obtained by visiting www.truzone.ca
CLEANING YOUR
TRUZONE
* PFM
Your
TruZone
* PFM need only be cleaned once a week. Wash the PFM by moving gently
through warm, mild, soapy water. Rinse gently and thoroughly and allow it to air dry
before your next reading. Do not try to clean the inside with a brush. You can also safely
clean
TruZone
* PFM using the normal cycle of your dishwasher.
CAUTION: Never disassemble your
TruZone
* PFM or place it in boiling water.
QUALITY CHECK
Always visually inspect your
TruZone
* PFM for damage. Make sure it is working properly
before using. This can be done by lightly blowing into the PFM to see if the indicator
moves, then resetting the indicator. A damaged or problem meter should not be used.
Note: The
TruZone
* PFM meets all accuracy and precision requirements that may be
encountered under typical use. As with any pressure/flow rate monitor, the
TruZone
* PFM
may be affected by extreme altitude variations or temperatures.** The meter is not
significantly affected by relative humidity and should be used within a normal temperature
range (20 to 35 degrees Celsius/68 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit). All measurements of the
TruZone
* PFM have been validated at Body Temperature and Pressure Saturated with
water vapors (BTPS).
