US Patent:

Abstract:
A peak ventilatory flow rate indicator includes a hollow tube open at each end and has a series of small graded openings which hold a liquid by surface tension. When a subject ventilates his lungs through the tube as rapidly as possible, the number of graded openings from which the liquid is expelled is a function of peak ventilatory flow rate and an indication of pulmonary function.
