6. Self-Assessment with the Traffic Light Scheme
The so-called «traffic light scheme» allows you to self-assess your measured values
and the course of your illness. This leads to an independent assessment of your
illness symptoms with adjustment of your medication. If you or your physician wish
to make use of this scheme, an asthma control card is enclosed with the device, on
which a green, a yellow, and a red area are marked. The area limits should best be
determined together with your physician and entered into the card.
Significance of the Traffic Light Scheme
Green area - OK
The lung disease is well under control. A higher medication dosage is not required.
Yellow area - Caution
Should your measured values frequently be located in this area, increase your
medication dosage as discussed with your physician.
Red area - Danger
It is dangerous if your measured values are in this area! Act as discussed with your
physician or seek emergency medical treatment.
7. Cleaning and Disinfection
7.1. Cleaning / Disinfecting the Mouthpiece
We recommend disinfecting the mouthpiece
before your first use and at least once a week
using the following procedure:
1. Disconnect the mouthpiece from the
measuring tube and put it for at least 10
minutes into continuously boiling water.
