Product Description:

• For use with patients unable to cough or clear secretions effectively due to reduced peak expiratory flow.
  


• For those who are unable to cough or effectively clear secretions, deep suctioning is often used to clear the airways.


• Unfortunately, invasive suction methods can be uncomfortable for the patient and have been linked to complications such as hypoxia, tissue damage and infection.


• The CoughAssist E70 provides an effective, yet remarkably gentle, noninvasive secretion clearance alternative for use in the hospital and at home.


• It clears airways for longer periods of time than tracheal suctioning, and with fewer complications.


• More and more scientific societies arespecifically recommending the use of mechanical in-exsufflation technique for airway clearance management.

Features:

Cough-Trak algorithm

• The integrated Cough-Trak algorithm aids device titration and patient synchronization by allowing the patient to trigger therapy through inhalation, helping both comfort and compliance.

Oscillation

• The CoughAssist E70 mobilizes and loosens secretions by providing high frequency oscillatory vibrations while gradually applying a positive pressure to the airway, then rapidly shifting to a negative pressure.


• Adjustable oscillation levels enhance mobilization and increase the benefits of therapy.

Advanced Auto Mode

• The Advanced Auto Mode allows the clinician to set a number of successive insufflations (pre-therapy breaths) prior to the cough therapy; this therapy pattern can be repeated up to 10 times as defined by the number of cycles.


• The clinician also has the option to end the sequence on a single insufflation by enabling the `Post-Therapy Breath’ setting.


• Advanced Auto Mode can help enhance recruitment as part of the airway clearance therapy and is suitable for use with all CoughAssist E70 patients.

How to use:

• Please refer to the CoughAssist E70 user manual.
