This device is designed for use on patients unable to cough or clear secretions effectively due to reduced peak cough expiratory flow, resulting from high spinal cord injuries, neuromuscular deficits or severe fatigue associated with intrinsic lung disease. It may be used either with a facemask, mouthpiece, or an adapter to a patient's endotrachealtube or tracheostomy tube. For use in hospital, institutional setting, or at home. For use on adult patients and paediatric patients 3 years old and up.
An assembly of powered devices intended for use in healthcare and homecare settings to help clear airway secretions using one of two pre-configured programs: 1) mechanical insufflation-exsufflation for simulating a cough in a patient with an ineffective cough [e.g., due to neuromuscular deficits, COPD]; and 2) lung oscillation by pressurized air pulses, and lung expansion therapy by positive expiratory pressure (e.g., for prevention of pulmonary atelectasis). The system includes an electropneumatic generator/interface unit and breathing circuit elements (e.g., face mask, mouthpiece); it is also capable of delivering medicated aerosol and supplemental oxygen during therapy.
