J A Bushman, and A Ali, and I R Perry, and G M Williams

When tested against artificially produced peak flows, the Wright peak flow meter is found to be an accurate instrument. A factor contributing to the variation seen when the meter is in clinical use in the design of the mouthpiece. This paper reports the results obtained using a new mouthpiece designed specifically to reduce this variation.
