Philips CoughAssist E70

Sold as Each

Philips CoughAssist E70 is a mechanical insufflation-exsufflation device designed to noninvasively clear secretions from the lungs by simulating a natural cough. Similar to a normal deep breath, CoughAssist gradually applies positive air pressure (insufflation) to obtain a large volume of air within the lungs. The device then quickly reverses the flow of air by shifting to negative air pressure (exsufflation). The resulting high expiratory flow helps mobilize secretions out of the airway as a deep, natural cough would do.

Features:

• The Philips Respironics CoughAssist E70 device assists patients in loosening, mobilizing, and clearing secretions by providing high frequency oscillatory vibrations while gradually applying a positive pressure to the airway, then rapidly shifting to a negative pressure. The oscillatory vibrations assist in loosening and mobilizing the secretions while the rapid shift in pressure produces a high expiratory flow rate from the lungs, which promotes the clearance of secretions.
• Control and synchronization - The proprietary, integrated Cough-Trak algorithm gives patients the ability to initiate their therapy. By triggering on patient inspiration, this feature helps to synchronize therapy with the user’s breathing pattern allowing for more control of therapy and a more comfortable, natural treatment.
• Multiple non-invasive patient interface options - Instead of introducing a suction catheter into the airway, CoughAssist delivers therapy through a face mask, mouthpiece, or a simple adapter that allows the device to function with an endotracheal or tracheotomy tube.
• Flexibility in delivery of therapy - Three highly customizable therapy modes offer the ability to better tailor therapy to patient needs and treatment settings; Manual, Auto, Advanced Auto. From complete manual control over every aspect of treatment by a clinician or caregiver to a fully automated treatment mode including pressure settings, pre-therapy breaths and cough cycles.
• Loosening and mobilization - CoughAssist offers an adjustable oscillation feature designed to enhance the loosening of mucus from the bronchial walls and increase mobilization of secretions to help improve bronchial drainage and increase the benefits of mechanical insufflation-exsufflation therapy.
• The CoughAssist E70 device may be used either with a facemask or mouthpiece, or with an adapter to a patient’s endotracheal or tracheostomy tube. It is for use on adult or pediatric patients having difficulty with secretion clearance and/or inability to cough.
• The CoughAssist E70 device is for use in a hospital, institutional environment, or in the home.
