Contents: Threshold IMT inspiratory muscle trainer Instructions for a use Training diaryTurn the control knob (Fig. 1 A) to align the red edge of the pressure indicator (Fig. 1 B) to the setting prescribed by your physician. For additional leverage attach the mouthpiece and rotate to adjust. A higher number equals greater effort. Attach mouthpiece firmly.Put nose clip on and breathe through your mouth (Fig. 2).Seal lips around the mouthpiece, and inhale deeply (Fig. 3).

Threshold IMT is an inspiratory muscle trainer that will help you increase respiratory muscle strength and endurance through conditioning. ANY CHANGE IN THE SETTING IS DONE ONLY AS DIRECTED BY YOUR PHYSICIAN. IF YOU GET VERY TIRED DURING OR AFTER YOUR TRAINING DO NOT BOIL OR HEAT. SESSION, FEEL OUT OF BREATH, OR NOTICE YOUR PULSE RATE INCREASE DRAMATICALLY, STOP TRAINING AND NOTIFY YOUR PHYSICIAN.
Note to physicians and physiotherapistsThe pressure load for inspiratory muscle training should be based on the patient’s respiratory muscle strength, which is determined by measuring maximal inspiratory pressure (PIMAX) with a manometer. PI MAX is the largest negative pressure a patient can generate during inhalation. The recommended pressure load is 30% of the patient’s PIMAX. However, initiating training at a lower pressure load may be necessary in some patients. The pressure load should be increased as the patient’s inspiratory muscle strength improves.
