Asthma is a serious lung disease that can be disabling, and in severe cases, fatal. In children, asthma is the leading cause of school absenteeism, with over 14 million school days lost each year. The goal of parents and pediatricians is to prevent and manage attacks, lessening the amount of time your child is away from school or other activities, and to help decrease the instances where medication becomes necessary. More importantly, Whistle Watch™ can help prevent frightening and costly emergency room visits. Whistle Watch™ acts as an early warning system helping to either prevent an attack and possible emergency room visit or indicate if medication isnt working Whistle Watch™ is compact and totally portable, so it can go anywhere the child goes…school, playground, soccer game, camping. It comes with its own carrying case. The unique, ergonomic design makes Whistle Watch™ easy to use and readily accepted by children…..making compliance easier! Regular use results in better asthma management, fewer missed school days, reduced medication use and emergency room visits. Whistle Watch™ is affordable and once set by a clinician, requires no special training to understand. If your child can make it blow, then they are “good to go”. Whistle Watch™ is effective for asthma, allergies, or any respiratory problems in children. Children are old enough to use Whistle Watch™ as soon as they can make it "whistle". It can measure a maximum peak efficiency flow rate of 427. When purchased by doctors prescription, Whistle Watch™ is reimbursable as Reimbursement # A4614, as a hand held peak flow meter
