II. Introduction – U.S
The respiratory pressure meter is a hand held instrument designed for
rapid assessment of inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength. The
unit can measure the maximum inspiratory and expiratory mouth
pressures, MIP and MEP, and the Sniff Nasal Inspiratory Pressure,
SNIP. The result of each measurement is presented in units of
cmH2O gauge pressure on the liquid crystal display screen.
The unit is easy to operate, battery powered, and is supplied with all
the necessary attachments required for immediate use.
The functionality of the unit may be greatly increased when connected
to a PC running PUMA software. This application has many advanced
features including:
 Real time display of pressure/time curves
 Overlay of successive curves
 Predicted values
 Patient database
 Incentive display
 Manoeuvre quality check
 Manoeuvre variability measurement
