A therapy is typically a 10-minute session with the goal of expanding 
the airways and moving secretions from the lower lobes to the upper 
airways so they can be coughed out.

The 10-minute therapy is composed of 2.5 minutes of PEP (positive 
expiratory pressure), 2.5 minutes of OSC (high frequency oscillation), 
and these two therapies are repeated for the same amount of time to 
complete the 10-minute session.

Note: The Aerogen® Solo can only be run with saline while using it with 
BiWaze® Clear.

Your clinical team may have enabled ‘allow user adjustments’ on your 
system which allows changes to be made to the programmed therapy 
profiles while the device is locked. If enabled, therapy pressure can be 
adjusted up to 5 cmH20 per phase, depending on what your clinical 
team configured. When a therapy is adjusted, the profile will reset to the 
original saved therapy profile settings after the therapy is run.

If the ability to adjust pressure is 
enabled, the pen icon will be visible. 
Press the pen icon to open the thera-
py settings.

From the therapy settings screen you 
can edit the therapy phases in the 
therapy line. Press on a phase you 
want to edit.

The edit phase settings box will 
appear and you can change pressure 
based upon what has been enabled 
by your clinician. Press the arrow to 
edit the pressure and press the green 
check mark to save the updated 
pressure.
