Monaghan Aerobika Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure (OPEP) Therapy System is a convenient, user-friendly device that provides clinicians and patients with a means for reliable, drug-free, and natural airway clearance. Aerobika OPEP system opens up weak or collapsed airways by creating positive pressure and oscillations simultaneously, which helps move mucus to the upper airways where it can be coughed out.

According to the reviews, the Aerobika PEP Therapy System has received high praise from users. They mentioned that it has been instrumental in saving their life and has been used since its initial release. It can be used alongside a nebulizer, reducing the time needed for multiple breathing treatments each day. Users have found that the device effectively clears airways of mucus caused by COPD, as advertised. The ability to use albuterol with the device is seen as a significant advantage. The setup process is described as easy, and users express long-term satisfaction with the product. They recommend it based on the recommendation of their doctors and claim that it works better than alternative options they have tried. Fast shipping and complete instructions were also noted as positive aspects of the overall experience.

What to buy with Aerobika Inhaler


 

How Aerobika OPEP System Works?

When you exhale through the device, you will feel very quick pulses of resistance against your exhaled breath. These pulses of resistance hold your airways open and help shake the excess mucus loose, pushing it out of the smaller airways; it can then be coughed out. The degree of resistance can be changed depending on your comfort level. There is a valve inside the Aerobika OPEP device that switches quickly between higher and lower resistance creating positive pressure inside your airways. If you have nebulizer treatments, your healthcare professional may even opt to combine them with your OPEP therapy to reduce therapy time and improve patient compliance.

What Is An Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure Therapy System (OPEP)?

An Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure Therapy System, or OPEP device, is designed to aid in the loosening and removal of mucus buildup in the lungs. You may need OPEP treatments if you have a lung disease such as cystic fibrosis or COPD where your lungs need help keeping up with the amount of mucus produced each day. OPEP therapy is done by inhaling and exhaling through the device several times, then Huff Coughing to remove the loosened mucus.

How OPEP help in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)?

  • Reduced dyspnea
  • Increased gas distribution to previously unventilated areas
  • Reduced hyperinflation (gas trapping)


Before and After using OPEP therapy for COPD

What Is Huff Cough?

Huff Cough will help move mucus up and out of your lungs. Just like when you use your breath to create fog on a mirror, you would take a short, shallow breath and exhale forcefully with your mouth in an O shape.

Monaghan Aerobika FAQs

1. How often should I use my Aerobika Device?

Each treatment of 10-20 minutes should be done at least twice a day. The goal is to create little or no mucus every day, which ensures that your lungs are clean. You need to use your Aerobika Oscillating PEP more often if you are causing a lot of mucus.

2. Do you need a prescription for Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure Therapy System?

No prescription is required. But consult a professional if any problem persists.

3. How do you do a Huff Cough?

  • Sit up straight, with your chin slightly turned up and your mouth open.
  • Take a long, deep breath to fill three-quarters of your lungs.
  • For two or three seconds, hold your breath.
  • In a continuous exhalation, exhale vigorously but slowly to transfer mucus from the smaller to the larger airways.
  • Repeat this maneuver two more times and then proceed to clear mucus from the wider airways with one strong cough.
  • Do a cycle of four to five huff coughs as part of your airway clearance.

4. Can the Aerobika OPEP device be used with the mask?

We do not recommend using a mask. In order to maintain a good seal, an unvented mask would need to be used. These types of masks have soft, flexible edges to make it easier to prevent leaks. However, the same properties that make them ideal for creating a seal may also impact the effectiveness of the treatment you are giving. The patient would still need to hold the mask and device for the duration of treatment, so we recommend use with a mouthpiece.

5. How long can the Aerobika OPEP device be used?

The recommended replacement period for the device is 12 months. If prescribed during a hospital stay, the device can be taken home by the patient for continued use. 30-day post-discharge data has shown this can reduce readmissions for COPD exacerbations and post-operative patients by 28% and 39% respectively.
