Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) Therapy Devices
PEP therapy devices create resistance during exhalation to help maintain airway patency, promote lung expansion, and assist with secretion clearance.
The Intersurgical PEP device is a simple, single-patient-use system featuring nine colour-coded resistors, allowing clinicians to adjust therapy according to patient requirements. A ClearLite™ facemask option is available for patients who prefer mask-based therapy.
PEP Therapy: Frequently Asked Questions
What is PEP therapy?
Breathing out against an expiratory resistance creates Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP).
What can PEP therapy be used for?
May assist in increasing lung volume and reducing atelectasis.
May support reduction of hyperinflation.
May aid airway clearance.
Which patients may benefit from PEP therapy?
Post-operative patients, hospitalised patients with retained secretions, and patients requiring short-term airway clearance support.
What pressure does each resistor deliver?
The pressure generated depends on the selected resistor and the patient’s expiratory effort. Smaller resistors generally create higher resistance when breathing is consistent.
How can pressure be measured?
A manometer may be introduced into the system to measure pressure and assist in selecting the appropriate resistor.
Is the device suitable for adults and children?
Yes, it may be used in both adult and paediatric patients.
How long can the device be used?
Up to 7 days per patient.
Can the device be cleaned?
Yes, up to 50 wash cycles using detergent and warm water, as per Instructions for Use.
Does the device oscillate?
No.
Is it suitable for long-term use?
For ongoing conditions, the device should be replaced every 7 days.
AccuPAP® Positive Airway Pressure Therapy System
AccuPAP is designed to deliver positive airway pressure to assist in the prevention or reversal of atelectasis in adult patients.
The system includes adjustable PEEP, allowing healthcare professionals to tailor pressure levels without changing input gas flow, supporting consistent and efficient therapy delivery.
AccuPAP: Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions can AccuPAP help manage?
Commonly used to support lung expansion, assist secretion clearance, and help manage atelectasis.
Is AccuPAP single-patient use?
Yes.
Does it require a gas source?
Yes, a continuous supply of medical air or oxygen is required.
Which patients are suitable?
Postoperative patients, those with atelectasis, retained secretions, or reduced lung capacity.
How easy is it to use?
Designed for straightforward setup and operation in clinical environments.
SPIRO-BALL® Incentive Exerciser
SPIRO-BALL® is a single-patient-use incentive exerciser designed to support recovery of normal breathing following abdominal or thoracic surgery, or in conditions that reduce respiratory capacity.
It provides a visual guide to support therapy and allows clinicians to set adjustable volume targets.
- Paediatric option available
SpiroBall: Frequently Asked Questions
Is it single-patient use?
SpiroBall is designed for single-patient use to support infection control and minimise cross-contamination risks.
What conditions is SpiroBall commonly used for?
SpiroBall is commonly used following surgery, during periods of reduced mobility, and in patients at risk of developing postoperative pulmonary complications such as atelectasis.
How long can a patient use one device?
The device is intended for use throughout a patient’s treatment episode or recovery period, following local clinical protocols.
Does SpiroBall require a power source or consumable replacements?
No. SpiroBall is a simple mechanical device requiring no batteries, power supply, or replacement parts.
Which patients may benefit from SpiroBall therapy?
SpiroBall is commonly used for patients recovering from abdominal, thoracic, or cardiac surgery, as well as those experiencing prolonged bed rest, reduced mobility, shallow breathing due to pain, or conditions that place them at risk of postoperative atelectasis.
TRI-BALL® Respiratory Exerciser
TRI-BALL® supports sustained maximum inhalation (SMI), encouraging deep, slow breathing exercises that may assist in reducing postoperative respiratory complications.
TriBall: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of the three-ball design?
Provides visual feedback to support patient engagement and progress tracking.
Is it single-patient use?
Yes. TriBall is designed as a single-patient-use device to support infection prevention practices.
Who is TriBall used for?
TriBall is typically used to encourage deep breathing in patients recovering from surgery or those at risk of reduced lung expansion and postoperative respiratory complications.
How long does a TriBall device typically last?
A single device is generally used throughout the patient’s prescribed therapy period or hospital stay, depending on local protocols.
Which patients are suitable for TriBall therapy?
TriBall is frequently used in postoperative patients, particularly following abdominal, thoracic, bariatric, and cardiac procedures.
