from HFCWO
therapy
High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (HFCWO) is
clinically proven to be effective for airway clearance therapy, enhancing mucus transport and improving bronchial drainage.
While HFCWO is the standard of care for such conditions
as bronchiectasis, neuromuscular conditions, and cystic
fibrosis, indications for HFCWO are not disease-specific,
and the SmartVest® may be prescribed by physicians for any patient
the doctor believes may benefit from improved airway clearance. Individual assessment
of each patient by his or her physician is appropriate prior
to HFCWO prescription.
The SmartVest®Airway
Clearance System delivers a vigorous, yet comfortable,
HFCWO treatment for a wide variety of medical conditions
related to impaired pulmonary secretion clearance.

conditions not related to underlying defects in mucociliary
clearance, which may result in mucus hypersecretion and/or
impaired ability to cough or clear secretions
