You have the option of using the lanyard to prevent the PARI O-PEP
from falling or being dropped during treatment. Children should
always be supervised when using the O-PEP especially when used
with the lanyard.
1. Sit in a relaxed, upright position.
2. Support the PARI O-PEP and hold it so that the mouthpiece is
horizontal to the floor.
3. Slowly inhale and then place your lips tightly, but comfortably around
the mouthpiece. (FIG. D)
4. Make sure that the holes in the upper part are unobstructed and not
covered by your hand.
5. Breathe out slowly and completely through your mouth and into the
PARI O-PEP slowly and for as long as possible. As you do this, tense
your cheek muscles and keep your cheeks taut.
6. Remove the PARI O-PEP from your mouth to inhale (do not attempt to
inhale through the device).
7. Repeat the cycle of breathing in and out for 10 to 15 breaths. End the
treatment session if the exertion becomes too great.
8. Treatment will not be effective if the patient breathes in too rapidly or
displays excess exertion to breathe.
NOTE:
The PARI O-PEP can be adjusted to the patient’s resonant
frequency by moving the O-PEP slightly up or down to achieve maximum
vibrations. See Figures E and F. These vibrations in the lungs can be felt
as the patient exhales. After establishing a comfortable position, the
patient can begin therapy.
