What is an Incentive Spirometer?

• An incentive spirometer is a device used to help patients improve the functioning of their lungs.
• It is given to patients who have had any surgery that might put in danger the respiratory function, particularly surgery to the lungs themselves.
• It is also commonly given to patients recovering from cardiac or other surgery involving extended time under anesthesia and prolonged in-bed recovery.
• The incentive spirometer is also issued to patients recovering from pneumonia or rib damage to help minimize the chance of fluid build-up in the lungs.
• It can be used as well by wind instrument players who want to improve their airflow.

How to use Voldyne 4000 Volumetric Exerciser?

1. Remove components from the package, expand the tubing to its full length, and attach the open end of the tubing to the stem on the front side of the exerciser.
2. Slide the green pointer to the prescribed volume level.
3. Hold or stand the exerciser in an upright position. Exhale normally. Then, place your lips tightly around the mouthpiece.
4. Inhale slowly to raise the piston in the chamber. When inhaling, maintain the green flow chip in line with the smiley face flow range. Continue inhaling and try to raise the piston to the prescribed volume level (the top of the piston indicates inspired volume).
5. When inhalation is complete, remove the mouthpiece, hold the breath as prescribed, and exhale normally. Allow the piston to return to the bottom of the chamber. Rest and repeat exercises. The frequency of use and recommended inspiratory volumes should be at the direction of the physician or therapist.
