Clearway 2 User Manual
Provides an Insufflation, followed by an exsufflation and
a pause, may be repeated in multiple cycles, and is a mode
of therapy within MI-E
Breas cloud-based Compliance Software
Indicates the estimated lung volume during insufflation
(ml)
IPPB assists expansion of the lungs, therefore providing
an increased tidal volume for patients with a variety of
pulmonary conditions. It may be used to increase tidal
volumes, prevent atelectasis, reduce work of breathing in
patients who are tachypnoeic and may be fatiguing
Mechanical insufflation-exsufflation is a form of therapy
in which the device delivers positive flow to inflate the
lungs (insufflation), followed by an immediate and rapid
change to negative pressure, which produces an
exhalation (exsufflation), which simulates a cough and
thus moves secretions towards the large airways to be
cleared
Estimated calculation of the strength of the patient's
cough (l/min). Cough peak flow may give an indication
of effectiveness of MIE treatment
The Synchrony Beep is designed to assist both the patient
and therapist/carer to time the cough and/or manual
treatment with the exsufflation, to help improve
synchrony
Non-Invasive Ventilation, to be used as a form of
therapy, for maximum of 15 minutes. The patient should
always be supervised due to the lack of alarms, and a
vented mask with an exhalation port should be used at all
times
TreatRepeat® is the ability to save a manual treatment
performed into a pre-set programme, therefore reducing
time for titration as well as enhancing patient synchrony
