One-way inspiratory valve allows inhalation without removal of mouth.
These devices have steel balls to provide resistance against exhaling.
May be used with mask or mouthpiece nebulizer. The Flutter and Acapella Flutter Valves work by creating positive expiratory pressure (PEP) and vibrations. Equipped with a numbered expiratory resistance dial to adjust frequency. Disassembles into four, easy-to-clean parts that withstand autoclaving, boiling, and dishwashing. Allows inhalation and exhalation without removal from mouth. Combines the benefits of both PEP therapy and airway vibrations to promote pulmonary secretions. Incorporates PEP therapy and vibratory valve that vibrates when in use. Sanitary Butterfly Valve with Pull Handle, 304 Stainless Steel Sanitary Butterfly Clamp Valve, Tri Clamp Clover Butterfly Valve for Dairy, Beverage (45mm / 1.8in Pipe OD) New to Amazon. Adjustable frequency and flow resistance settings. It features a one-way inspiratory valve that allows this to be possible.įeaturing a distal 22mm OD, you can fit a nebulizer via a tee adapter. When patients use the Acapella Choice Blue Vibratory PEP Device, they do not have to remove the device from their mouth for inhalation. Treatment times for patients can be performed in less than half the time of standard chest physiotherapy sessions, too. In addition, this Mucus Clearance Device has an adjustable frequency and flow resistance settings. This major advantage of this product is that it disassembles for cleaning. The Acapella Choice Blue helps to open airways in patients with lung disease who have secretory problems such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Cystic Fibrosis, or Asthma.
Besides medical treatment, physiotherapy plays a major role in treatment and various methods have been suggested to remove airway of secretions. The device can be used with the respiratory patient in any position relative to gravity, including sitting down, standing or reclined. The disease affects not only the large central airways but also the small, more peripheral airways deeper into the lung, defined as less than 2 mm in diameter. “Positive-expiratory pressure mask therapy: Theoretical and Practical Considerations and a Review of the Literature”, Respiratory Care, 1991.Īcapella® Choice Blue Vibratory PEP Therapy SystemĪcapella Choice Blue Vibratory PEP Device is a respiratory breathing therapy device that vibrates to break up mucus and promotes respiratory secretions. It improves clearance of secretions, is easier to tolerate than CPT, takes less than half the time of conventional CPT sessions* and facilitates opening of airways in patients with lung diseases with secretory problems (COPD, Asthma, Cystic Fibrosis). Acapella® combines the benefits of both PEP therapy and airway vibrations to mobilize pulmonary secretions and it can be used in virtually any position whether reclining, standing or sitting.
