To use the spirometer:

• Sit up and hold the device.
• Place the mouthpiece spirometer in your mouth. Make sure you make a good seal over the mouthpiece with your lips.
• Breathe out (exhale) normally.
• Breathe in (inhale) SLOWLY.
• A piece in the incentive spirometer will rise as you breathe in.
• Try to get this piece to rise as high as you can.
• Usually, there is a marker placed by your doctor that tells you how big of a breath you should take.
• A smaller piece in the spirometer looks like a ball or disk.
• Your goal should be to make sure this ball stays in the middle of the chamber while you breathe in.
• If you breathe in too fast, the ball will shoot to the top.
• If you breathe in too slowly, the ball will stay at the bottom.
• Hold your breath for 3 to 5 seconds. Then slowly exhale.
• Take 10 to 15 breaths with your spirometer every 1 to 2 hours, or as often as instructed by your nurse or doctor.
