When you inhale with it, the suction will move a disc or a piston up inside a clear cylinder. The deeper you breathe, the higher the piston rises.

Most spirometers have numbers on the cylinder to show how much air you take in. They also may have a gauge to tell if you’re inhaling at the right pace.
How to Use It
You may need a couple of tries to get the hang of it. After that, a spirometer is easy to use.
Sit straight on a chair or the edge of your bed. If you’ve had surgery on your chest or belly, you may be sore there. Hold a pillow there to support it and help keep it from hurting.
Breathe out completely to clear all the air from your lungs
Loosen your lips from the mouthpiece when the piston hits the bottom of the cylinder.
Breathe out slowly and rest for a bit.
Do this 10 times, or as many as your doctor recommends. Aim to get the piston higher each time.
When you finish, cough to clear any mucus from your lungs. If you’re sore from surgery, hold the pillow against you while you cough.
