PHILIPS Respironics Threshold PEP HS735-010

Threshold PEP is used for airway clearance, bronchial hygiene, or as an alternative to chest physical therapy.Threshold PEP incorporates a flow-independent one-way valve to ensure consistent resistance with adjustable specific pressure settings(in cm H20) which are set by the healthcare professional. When patients breathe out through Threshold PEP, the resistive load creates positive pressure that helps open the airways and allows mucus to be expelled during "huff" coughing (forced expiratory technique).Flow-independent one-way valveConstant pressure (regardless of patient's airflow) eliminates the need for a pressure indicatorEasy to set, truly adjustable pressure (in 1 cm H2O increments)Effective therapy when held in any positionCan be used with mouthpiece or maskEasy to cleanMade of durable, high-impact acrylicImproves mobilization and prevents accumulation of secretionsPromotes effective breathing patterns and improves gas exchangeImproves central and peripheral airway functionPrevents or reverses atelectasisOptimizes bronchodilation when combined with respiratory drug delivery via nebulizer or MDI spacer devices
