O-PEP therapy
The patient repeatedly exhales into the device against a moving ball, causing a vibration
that is transmitted to the lungs. This vibration tirs the mucus in the lower airways. During
use, the airways are kept open and mucus clearance is enhanced.
If Airfeel is held horizontally, the frequency will fluctuate during use and equal to appro-
ximately 15 Hz. This frequency can be varied by tilting the device up (higher frequency)
or down (lower frequency). This allows to select the ideal frequency for each individual
patient.
