Airway clearance
This system consists of an inflatable vest connected via hoses to an air pulse generator. The mechanical pump generates an oscillatory air flow, which carries out intermittent pneumatic chest compressions.
The rapid chest movement imitates a cough, so that mucus can be expelled and cleared. It acts simultaneously on both lungs and moves the mucus into the central airway.
It is an effective, safe, consistent treatment. In addition, it is easy to administer and comfortable for the patient.
Vest.
Air pulse generator.
Hoses.
Power cable.
Remote control.
Connect the power cable to the back of the device and plug it into the mains.
Connect the hoses to each of the air outlets at the front of the device.
Put on the vest:
Connect the hose system to the vest, with a gentle twisting movement.
Press the ON button. The screen will light up and the vest will inflate. The screen will display the pre-programmed frequency, pressure, and remaining treatment time parameters prescribed by your doctor. Start the therapy by pressing the ON button again. These parameters can be adjusted at any time during the treatment session with the up and down arrows.
Press the OFF button at any time to end the treatment session. The screen will stay on briefly and display the remaining minutes of treatment.
Once the treatment is finished, the screen will display the message ‘session complete’. The compressions will stop, the vest will deflate, and the screen light will turn off. The screen will display the usage time.
Unplug the system from the mains.
Disconnect the hose system and remove the vest by unfastening the velcro on the sides and pulling the vest over your head. You can also unfasten the velcro shoulder straps, but in this case, you will need to adjust the vest every time you use it.
There is a remote-control function, which is equivalent to the ON button. This way, you can begin the treatment and pause it using the remote control. To do so, connect the remote control to the port at the front of the system.
All of the components can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive soap. Never submerge them in water. Let them dry before using the system again.
Should you have any problems with the system, contact OXIGEN salud. Do not try to repair the system yourself.
