Strive® Dual Zone Peak Flow Meter Discontinued

In recent developments within the respiratory health industry, Monaghan Medical Corp has announced the discontinuation of their widely used STRIVE® DUAL ZONE PEAK FLOW METER. This news has significant implications for individuals and medical practices relying on this device for respiratory monitoring. As a response, Monaghan Medical Corp has recommended the TRUZONE® Peak Flow Meter as a suitable replacement. In this blog post, we will delve into the reasons behind this discontinuation, the features of both devices, and how to transition smoothly to the TRUZONE® Peak Flow Meter.

The STRIVE® DUAL ZONE PEAK FLOW METER has been a trusted tool for many healthcare providers and patients managing asthma and other respiratory conditions. It provided an easy and accurate way to measure peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), an essential parameter in assessing lung function. Its dual zone feature allowed for better monitoring by providing clear visual indicators for different levels of respiratory performance.

However, despite its popularity and effectiveness, Monaghan Medical Corp has decided to discontinue this product. The decision has raised questions and concerns among users who have come to depend on its reliability.

Monaghan Medical Corp has cited several reasons for the discontinuation of the STRIVE® DUAL ZONE PEAK FLOW METER. These include:

1. Advancements in Technology: As with many medical devices, advancements in technology have led to the development of more efficient and accurate tools. The STRIVE® DUAL ZONE PEAK FLOW METER, while effective, has been surpassed by newer models that offer enhanced features and greater precision.

2. Regulatory Changes: Changes in industry regulations often necessitate updates in product design and functionality. The cost and effort required to update the STRIVE® DUAL ZONE PEAK FLOW METER to meet these new standards may not have been justifiable compared to developing a new product.

3. Market Demand: The demand for peak flow meters has evolved, with a growing preference for devices that offer more comprehensive data and connectivity options. The STRIVE® DUAL ZONE PEAK FLOW METER, designed several years ago, may not fully align with current market needs.

In light of the discontinuation, Monaghan Medical Corp recommends transitioning to the TRUZONE® Peak Flow Meter. This device is designed to provide a seamless replacement, ensuring that users can continue to monitor their respiratory health effectively.

3. Durable and Portable: The device is built to be durable and portable, ensuring that patients can take it with them wherever they go, maintaining consistent monitoring of their respiratory health.

4. Clear Visual Indicators: Similar to the STRIVE® DUAL ZONE PEAK FLOW METER, the TRUZONE® provides clear visual indicators, helping users easily interpret their readings.

For those currently using the STRIVE® DUAL ZONE PEAK FLOW METER, transitioning to the TRUZONE® Peak Flow Meter can be straightforward with the right guidance:

1. Consult with Healthcare Providers: It's essential to consult with healthcare providers to ensure the TRUZONE® Peak Flow Meter is suitable for individual needs. Providers can offer personalized advice and demonstrate how to use the new device effectively.
