The Electromed SmartVest SQL Airway Clearance System is available for rent or sale from US Med-Equip.
The SmartVest SQL Airway Clearance System is uniquely designed to simplify HFCWO therapy and make your device more comfortable to wear, easier to use, and convenient to travel with.
High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (HFCWO) has been an effective form of airway clearance therapy for more than 20 years. HFCWO, administered by the patented SmartVest, creates a “squeeze and release” action around the chest and torso from 5-20 times per second. The SmartVest inflates and delivers vigorous, yet comfortable, air pulses to the body through a single-hose powered by a programmable air pulse generator. The rapid squeeze and release action of an HFCWO treatment simulates repetitive “mini-coughs,” which have been reported to effectively:
- Shear mucus away from the walls of a lung’s airways
- Reduce the viscosity of the secretions
- Propel the mucus toward the larger airways where it can be expectorated or suctioned more easily
