Oscillations
The Oscillation therapy feature delivers an oscillatory therapy based on Frequency
and Amplitude settings. Use of the oscillation feature enhances mobilization and
improves bronchial drainage. The oscillations will be least apparent to the patient
with lower amplitude and higher frequency settings.
If the Oscillation setting is enabled, the user can choose to apply the vibrations along
with oscillations. Vibrations are low amplitude 20Hz oscillations which are super
imposed on standard oscillations. The Frequency and Amplitude settings of
oscillations can be changed as needed.
