compressor modules and channels, installed into various parts of the vest. The patient
controls the rate and frequency at which these motors oscillate the thoracic region with the
use of a controller attached to the vest that can increase or decrease intensity in response to
the volume of mucus present in the air pathways per a physician’s prescription and orders.
