- Neusklem: Place the nose clip on your nose to ensure all breathing occurs through your mouth during exercise.
- Initial Resistance Setting: Before starting, familiarize yourself with the resistance dial. The device features 5 resistance levels for both inhaling and exhaling. Start with the lowest resistance level (level 1) and gradually increase as your respiratory muscles strengthen.
4. Gebruiksaanwijzing
4.1 Algemeen gebruik
For optimal results, use the breathing exerciser for 5 to 10 minutes, twice daily. Consistency is key to strengthening your respiratory muscles.
- Hold the device comfortably in your hand.
- Place the mouthpiece firmly in your mouth, ensuring a tight seal with your lips.
- Use the nose clip to prevent air from escaping or entering through your nose.
- Breathe in slowly and deeply through the device, feeling the resistance.
- Exhale slowly and completely through the device, again feeling the resistance.
- Maintain a steady and controlled breathing rhythm throughout your session.
4.2 Het aanpassen van de weerstandsniveaus
The device offers 5 distinct resistance levels for both inhalation and exhalation. You can adjust these levels independently using the rotating dial on the device. The "IN" setting controls inspiratory resistance, and the "OUT" setting controls expiratory resistance.
- Inademingsweerstand: Rotate the dial to the "IN" side to select your desired resistance level (1-5).
- Exhalation Resistance: Rotate the dial to the "OUT" side to select your desired resistance level (1-5).
Begin with level 1 and gradually increase the resistance as your breathing muscles become stronger. Do not force yourself to higher levels if it causes discomfort or excessive strain.

4.3 Measuring Maximal Expiratory Pressure (MEP)
The integrated manometer allows you to measure your Maximal Expiratory Pressure (MEP), providing a clear indication of your progress over time.
- Set to 'T' Level: Before measuring, ensure both the "IN" and "OUT" settings on the resistance dial are set to the 'T' level. This is the measurement setting.
- Exhale Forcefully: With the device in your mouth and nose clip on, exhale as forcefully and completely as possible into the device.
- Read Manometer: Observe the needle on the manometer. The highest point it reaches indicates your MEP.
- Record Progress: Regularly record your MEP readings to track improvements in your respiratory strength.
