Product catalog summary
Introduction
Simeox is an innovative technology developed by PhysioAssist to improve the quality of life for patients with respiratory diseases such as cystic fibrosis and COPD. It addresses challenges like chronic coughing, mucus production, and shortness of breath by liquefying mucus and assisting its transport.

Research and Development
Simeox is the result of extensive research in collaboration with CNRS, Inserm, and university hospitals. The focus was on understanding bronchial mucus to develop effective airway clearance technology.

Clinical Results
  • Improvement in lung function (FEV1 and FVC).
  • Enhanced quality of life for COPD and Bronchiectasis patients, as measured by the CAT score.
  • Increased exercise capacity in Bronchiectasis patients, assessed by the 6MWT.
  • Improved symptoms and secretion clearance.
  • High subjective effectiveness compared to conventional physiotherapy.

Technology and Operation
Simeox uses a unique signal to exploit the thixotropic nature of bronchial mucus, liquefying it for easier transport. The device is easy to use but requires healthcare professional support. It operates by generating negative pressure pulses during exhalation, which helps in mucus clearance.

Device Features
  • Easy-to-use interface with remote control.
  • Adjustable exhalation cycles and signal intensity.
  • Single patient use expiratory kits with RFID tags for hygiene management.

Product Specifications
  • Dimensions: 280 mm x 212 mm x 175 mm.
  • Weight: 5.1 Kg.
  • Frequency: 12 Hz / 6 Hz.
  • Voltage: 230 VAC / 50 Hz.

Conclusion
Simeox is a Class IIa medical device designed to improve respiratory health by facilitating mucus clearance, thereby enhancing patient well-being and reducing the risk of bronchial collapse.

Simeox: for a better quality of life Innovate to improve the day-to-day life of patients suffering from respiratory diseases Bronchial clearance of patients with cystic fibrosis is an essential component of the fight to preserve lung function1. Chronic coughing and mucus production in COPD patients are very closely associated with the occurrence of exacerbations2. Shortness of breath, fatigue, excessive coughing, and an abundant, difficult-to-mobilize mucus significantly affect the day-to-day life of patients with chronic lung diseases. In addition, clearing the airways of those patients is challenging...

A unique technology The signal delivered by Simeox exploits the biophysical properties of bronchial mucus, one of them being its thixotropic nature: it acts directly on the consistency of the mucus to liquefy it and transport it from the periphery of the lungs to the central airways. Principle of operation Simeox is easy to use. However, the handling of the device requires support from a healthcare professional. The inspiratory and expiratory phases described below should be repeated several times during a session. 1 The patient inhales slowly through the nose, then briefly holds their breath...

An easy-to-use interface Control Panel The only adjustments to be made are: Carrying handle the number of exhalations per cycle: PROG 1: 6 exh./cycle PROG 2: 8 exh./cycle PROG 3: 10 exh./cycle signal intensity: 25%, 50%, 75% or 100%. The visual performance indicator allows the user to see if the signal is being properly transmitted. Remote control to activate the Simeox signal Connecting the expiratory kit The ON/OFF button on the control panel has a blue light which stops flashing when a functional kit is detected (via an integral RFID tag).

Simeox consumables PhysioAssist offers a range of single patient use expiratory kits, specifically adapted to the Simeox device, allowing perfect transmission of the Simeox signal and ensuring an efficient system. The expiratory kit consists of a filter, a flexible tube and a mouthpiece. The filter in the expiratory kit is intended to protect the Simeox device. The air movement generated by the device is always away from the patient and towards the Simeox. The number of uses of the kit is limited and managed by the RFID tag on the filter. This ensures good hygiene of the expiratory kit, a very...
