Self-Assessment with the Traffic Light Indicator

The colored bars on the left hand edge of the display are a
quick visual reference to show the range of your measured
values. As your peak flow raises or lowers, the arrow on the
display will show the measurement as either within the normal
(green), borderline (yellow) or danger (red) range.
As you use the monitor, it will automatically record your best
value and use it to determine your traffic light zones.
Determining the Area Limits
The traffic light indicator can be used in one of two ways:
• Default traffic light zones
• Customized traffic light zones.
Default Traffic Light Zones:
1. The green zone ranges between your personal best
measurement (MAX) and 80% of that reading.
To determine the yellow/green border zone, multiply the
MAX value by 0.8 [Example: 500 l/min x 0.8 = 400 l/min].
2. The yellow zone ranges between your personal best
measurement (MAX)and 60% of that reading.
To determine the yellow/red border zone, multiply the MAX
value by 0.6. [Example: 500 l/min x 0.6 = 300 l/min].
3. The red zone ranges below 50% of your best reading.
Customized Traffic Light Zones:
The Traffic Light Indicator zones can be customized with a
computer and the Asthma software. This Windows compatible
software is free for download from our website (See section 6).
