The AirLife brand Airx flow incentive spirometer is disposable and designed for exercising and measuring of volume flow.

The flow indicator dial can be adjusted to indicate flow rates in mL/second. Includes spirometer housing, detachable base plate, 12" segmented corrugated tubing with 22 mm OD and mouthpiece.
