INDICATIONS FOR USE/METHOD/APPLICATION
INDICATIONS FOR USE
The AffloVest is intended for promoting airway clearance and improvement of
bronchial drainage by enhancing mobilization of bronchial secretions where external
manipulation of the thorax is the physician’s choice of treatment.
METHOD
The AffloVest generates vibration and oscillation of the user’s chest wall through
integrated motor modules, installed into various parts of the vest. The patient controls
the rate and frequency at which these motors oscillate the thoracic region with the use
of a controller attached to the vest that can increase or decrease intensity to address
the volume of mucus present in the air pathways, in compliance with a physician’s
prescription and orders.
