Question
Yor web site says that the incentive spirometer measures FEV1 (flow) but I don't see how this is observed (being a time dependent thing) using the device shown.

Answer

Dear Hal:

Thank you for your inquiry.  If you will look closely at the image of the product, you'll notice that the device not only measures the volume, but also the rate of flow can observed by the placement of the relative position of the piston among the "faces, shown on the right side of the device.

Question
Dear Sir/Madam,My mother has a standard semi-automatic hospital bed that was provided for her through Medicare. She finds the mattress uncomfortable and says it is too soft. I spoke to the company that provided the bed, Vanguard, and they said that the mattress was filled with foam so that it would go up and down easily.I visited your website and noticed that you had 2 additional types of mattresses for hospital beds--1st: Pressure Reduction Mattress and 2nd: Inner Spring Mattresses. She does need to raise and lower the bed each time she gets out of bed by herself. Would you be able to recommend a firm mattress for her hospital bed that goes up and down regularly? It cannot be one that gets stuck periodically. Thank you in advance for your feedback.
