Frequently Asked Questions

1. What resistance level do I need?

Choose Light Resistance:

If you exercise / are physically active for less than 2.5 hours per week and have no breathing problems
If you exercise / are physically active for less than 2.5 hours per week and have breathing problems – minor/moderate
If you exercise / are physically active for more than 2.5 hours per week and have severe breathing problems

Choose Medium Resistance:

If you exercise / are physically active for more than 2.5 hours per week and have no breathing problems
If you exercise / are physically active for more than 2.5 hours per week and have some breathing problems that are not severe

Choose Heavy Resistance:

Only if you have reached the highest load setting on a Medium Resistance model first.

2. What are the exact resistance of each model?

The standard unit used to measure breathing resistance is cmH20, which is short for “Centimetres of water“.

This table shows how each model (Light, Medium & Heavy) compares to one another. The levels 0-10 are all manually adjustable on the device at any time, and you should increase the level from 0 through to 10, over time as your breathing strength improves.

	Light	Medium	Heavy
Level 0	17cmH₂O	23cmH₂O	29cmH₂O
Level 1	25cmH₂O	39cmH₂O	53cmH₂O
Level 2	33cmH₂O	55cmH₂O	78cmH₂O
Level 3	41cmH₂O	72cmH₂O	102cmH₂O
Level 4	49cmH₂O	88cmH₂O	127cmH₂O
Level 5	58cmH₂O	104cmH₂O	151cmH₂O
Level 6	66cmH₂O	121cmH₂O	176cmH₂O
Level 7	74cmH₂O	137cmH₂O	200cmH₂O
Level 8	82cmH₂O	153cmH₂O	225cmH₂O
Level 9	90cmH₂O	170cmH₂O	249cmH₂O
Level 10	98cmH₂O	186cmH₂O	274cmH₂O

3. What is cmH₂O?

Centimeters of Water is a unit used to measure pressure on a small scale. It refers to how much pressure is needed to move a 1cm column of water.

4. I suffer from COPD and asthma - is a NewBreath™ device suitable?

Inspiratory muscle training has been most widely used in patients with COPD. IMT is particularly helpful in this patient group, as they have primary weakness of their inspiratory muscles.

5. Is there a minimum age for using NewBreath™?

There are no safety reasons for preventing young children (above 7 years of age) from using NewBreath™. However, the following factors may affect their ability to use the device effectively:

They must be able to fit the mouthpiece in their mouth. The POWERbreathe Plus mouthpiece is smaller and therefore more suited to children.
They must be old enough to understand how to effectively perform the breathing exercises.
They must have the motivation themselves or the parental encouragement to ensure that they continue to perform the exercises.
They should only use POWERbreathe under the supervision of an adult.
