Subject: Breathing/lung test

Sounds like the doctor is saying pulsac


__Pulsac__ is 97 percent of room air.  Peak flow 210, 255


I found a lot of lung functioning tests on webmd but nothing that matched the sound of this.  I must not be close because I'm not bringing anything up on Google either.
