The BiWaze Clear System is indicated for the loosening and mobilization of secretions, lung expansion therapy, the treatment and prevention of pulmonary atelectasis, and can provide supplemental oxygen when used with an oxygen supply. The BiWaze Clear System is for use on adult or pediatric patients in acute care (aged 2 years and older) and home care environments (aged 5 years and older).The BiWaze Clear System may be used with patient interfaces including face mask, mouthpiece, a trach adapter to endotracheal or tracheostomy tube in acute and home care environments. The BiWaze Clear System may be used in-line with a ventilator in acute care environment only.
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.
