to note the values down; simply take the device with you the next time you visit
your doctor. The device can be connected to a computer, and the values can be
analysed by using the Microlife Asthma analyser software program. Alternatively,
the values can be printed out with the small Microlife Diagnostic Printer (optional
accessory).
