I have no idea if any of this has any real accuracy, but see if you can make it to 10.



 
when i was a FF, we had to breath into this 'machine' to determine if we were SCBA qualified.......i forget what they called it, sorry.... 😥 ~S~
 
I found it fairly easy to make it to 9, and a bit of a struggle to get to 10, but doable.
 
Ann incentive spirometer is what we give patients to strength the lungs and prevent pneumonia during recovery

How high/long you can raise the disc/ball of a a good indicator of your lung strength

I have one from my time in a hospital, the exact same one as this. I wasn't even in there for anything related to breathing but saw it and asked if I could have it.

Is that in milliliters? I thought lung capacity was like 6 liters (6000 ml)?

Made it to 10, then one more circle until the clip stopped. Not bad for over 71 and a smoker. But, always had good lung capacity and breathing discipline, probably from the Army and all that running, and staying in shape for the PT Tests.
 
I saw three specialists and had nine tests this summer and found out my lungs work well enough despite the fact I've smoked for fifty years.
