The BiWaze Clear System assists patients in loosening and mobilizing secretions as well as treating and preventing atelectasis by providing lung expansion and high frequency oscillation therapies. The BiWaze Clear System may be used with a patient interface like face mask, mouthpiece, a trach adapter to a patient’s endotracheal or tracheostomy tube. It is for use on adult or paediatric patients in acute, post-acute, and home care environments. The BiWaze Clear System is indicated to deliver therapy to adults and children over the age of 2 years in the acute care setting. The BiWaze Clear System is indicated to deliver therapy to adults and children over the age of 5 years in the home care setting
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.
