Respironics CoughAssist T70 Mechanical Insufflator-Exsufflator

Details & Specs for Respironics CoughAssist T70 Mechanical Insufflator-Exsufflator

CoughAssist T70 Mechanical Insufflator-Exsufflator is designed to noninvasively clear secretions from the lungs by simulating a natural cough. It gradually applies positive air pressure (insufflation) to obtain a large volume of air within the lungs and then quickly reverses the flow of air by shifting to negative air pressure (exsufflation). The resulting high expiratory flow helps mobilize secretions out of the airway as a deep, natural cough would do. The CoughAssist T70 enhances the cough to produce a more effective clearing of the airways and the addition of the Cough-Trak allows the user to synchronize treatment with their own breathing patterns.

CoughAssist T70 Features

• Includes:
• - CoughAssist T70 Machine
  - SD Card
  - Hose Clip
  - Air Filter
  - 6 Foot Patient Circuit
  - Adult Large Mask
  - AC Power Cord
  - Carry Case
• Enhance clinical evaluation and reporting
• Data management tools help assess therapy efficacy and enable better clinical decision-making around patient use and treatment settings. Achieve the most effective cough with insight into a patient's response to therapy from CoughAssist by monitoring data including peak cough flow and oxygen saturation while also reviewing pressure and flow waveforms
• Control and synchronization
• The proprietary, integrated Cough-Trak algorithm gives patients the ability to initiate their therapy. By triggering on patient inspiration, this feature helps to synchronize therapy with the user's breathing pattern allowing for more control of therapy and a more comfortable, natural treatment
• Loosening and mobilization
• CoughAssist offers an adjustable oscillation feature designed to enhance the loosening of mucus from the bronchial walls and increase mobilization of secretions to help improve bronchial drainage and increase the benefits of mechanical insufflation-exsufflation therapy
• Flexibility in delivering therapy
• Three highly customizable therapy modes offer the ability to better tailor therapy to patient needs and treatment settings; Manual, Auto, Advanced Auto. From complete manual control over every aspect of treatment by a clinician or caregiver to a fully automated treatment mode including pressure settings, pre-therapy breaths and cough cycles
• Multiple non-invasive patient interface options
• Instead of introducing a suction catheter into the airway, CoughAssist delivers therapy through a face mask, mouthpiece, or a simple adapter that allows the device to function with an endotracheal or tracheotomy tube
• Enhance patient mobility and care with CoughAssist accessories
• From multiple power source options and a roll stand, oximetry accessories and a hands-free control foot pedal option, CoughAssist's array of accessories helps give patients and families more freedom and mobility while maintaining effective treatment
