Lupin Aerobika Device, 1 Count

Lupin’s AerobiKA Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure (OPEP) Device is a device that helps clear secretions (mucus) from your airways, making it easier to breathe. People with certain pulmonary conditions produce a large amount of mucus that makes breathing difficult and further causes an airway infection. AerobiKA OPEP Device is beneficial for patients who face difficulty breathing with blockage of the airways. This airway clearance device mobilizes the excess secretions from the respiratory tract, expels the mucus and thus improves breathing. It works by providing vibrations that thin and loosen the mucus, thus expelling the phlegm.

• Read the instructions manual before using the device.
• Disinfect the device before starting the use.
• Insert the mouthpiece into the mouth. Inhale deeply and hold your breath for 2-3 seconds.
• Exhale for 3-4 times longer than the inspiratory breaths.
• Continue for 10-20 breaths or as directed by your doctor. 
• After at least 10 breaths, perform 2-3 huff coughs to clear your airways.
• Your healthcare professional will guide you more regarding the proper usage and technique.
• For maximum efficacy, try suppressing your cough until the end of the treatment.
