Abstract
An oscillating positive expiratory pressure system including an oscillating positive expiratory pressure device having a chamber, an input component in communication with the chamber, wherein the input component is operative to sense a flow and/or pressure and generate an input signal correlated to the flow or pressure, a processor operative to receive the input signal from the input component and generate an output signal, and an output component operative to receive the output signal, and display an output.
Claims22
An oscillating positive expiratory pressure system comprising:
- an oscillating positive expiratory pressure device comprising a chamber defining a flow channel, the flow channel passing through an opening;
- a flow sensor disposed in the chamber in direct communication with the flow channel, wherein the flow sensor is configured to generate an input signal correlated to a flow in the flow channel;
- a control component comprising the opening, the control component operative to provide a predetermined flow resistance through the opening;
- a processor operative to receive the input signal from the flow sensor and generate an at least one output signal;
- and
- an output component operative to receive a first output signal of the at least one output signal, and adjust the control component and the predetermined flow resistance through the opening.
