Product catalog summary
Overview: The Vest™ Advanced Airway Clearance System Model 205 is designed to assist patients with airway clearance dysfunctions. It uses High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (HFCWO) to help clear mucus from the airways, improving ventilation and gas exchange.
Who Can Benefit: The system is beneficial for patients with impaired ventilation, secretion retention, ineffective cough due to immobility, de-conditioning, or muscle weakness. It is prescribed for over 500 conditions, including ALS, cerebral palsy, COPD, cystic fibrosis, and post-surgical recovery.
Functionality: The air-pulse generator inflates and deflates the vest rapidly, creating 'mini-coughs' to dislodge and mobilize mucus. This process thins secretions, making them easier to clear through coughing or suctioning.
System Components: The system includes an air pulse generator, a stand, single-patient use vests, and accessories like air hoses and remote controls. The vests are available in various sizes and styles to fit different patients.
Technical Specifications: The air pulse generator weighs 8 kg and operates on 100-230 V AC power. The system is designed for use in environments with temperatures between 5°C and 40°C and relative humidity of 15%-93%.
Clinical Benefits: Clinical studies have shown that The Vest improves secretion clearance, stabilizes pulmonary functions, enhances exercise tolerance, reduces pneumonia incidence, and increases patient satisfaction and adherence to therapy.
Product Availability: The Vest is available in various sizes and configurations, with disposable options to eliminate cleaning and sterilization needs. It is intended for use by healthcare professionals in clinical settings.
Company Information: Hill-Rom is a global medical technology company focused on improving patient outcomes in areas such as mobility, wound care, clinical workflow, surgical safety, and respiratory health.
