2. The 
Peak Flow Meter AM3
The AM is an instrument that combines a peak flow meter with a symptom diary. 
This device displays questions concerning asthma symptoms to be answered twice 
a day and measures and evaluates the Peak Flow (PEF = Peak Expiratory Flow  
[L/min]). 
The device keeps a diary of subject measurements by automatically recording in 
its memory all answers and PEF measurements with the date and time. Every time 
the subject visits the center, the data will be downloaded by using the analogue 
modem.
