PEP stands for Positive Expiratory Pressure. It allows you to train your expiratory muscles. You can set the resistance beforehand. During the exercise, you breathe through the mouthpiece and have a nose clip on your nose.

Inspiratory and expiratory resistance independently adjustable

The inspiratory resistance (for training the inhalation) and the expiratory resistance (for training the exhalation) are independently adjustable. The inspiratory resistance is adjustable between 0 and 70 cm H2O, the expiratory resistance between 0 and 80 cm H2O. Turn the wheel to increase or decrease the resistance. To increase the resistance, turn towards the +. To decrease resistance, turn towards the -. Stop turning once the arrow indicates the correct value.
