The BiWaze® Clear System delivers oscillating lung expansion (OLE) therapy to help treat and prevent atelectasis, mobilize retained secretions from deep within the lungs, and reduce the work of breathing.
The system provides three integrated respiratory therapies:
- Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP): Delivers programmed positive pressure that the patient exhales against, opening and expanding the airways. The nebulizer can operate during PEP therapy to distribute saline solution throughout the airways.
- High-Frequency Oscillation (HFO): Generates programmed pulses of positive pressure to thin secretions and move them from the distal airways to the upper airways, where they can be coughed out or suctioned. The nebulizer can also run during HFO therapy for enhanced saline distribution.
- Nebulizer (NEB): Powers the integrated Aerogen® Solo vibrating mesh nebulizer to deliver aerosolized saline or medications directly to the lungs.
