Indica(ons for Use. The Vibralung AcousEcal Percussor is indicated as an airway secreEon clearance device that
creates vibraEons in the airways and as a lung expansion device that applies PosiEve Expiratory Pressure (PEP) as a
paEent breathes through the device. It may be used to promote bronchial drainage, airway clearance and
expectoraEon and to prevent or reverse atelectasis. The Vibralung may be used simultaneously with aerosol drug
delivery.
Pa(ent Popula(on . CysEc Fibrosis, COPD, asthma and lung diseases with secretory problems, paEents with
neuromuscular disease affecEng the ability to effecEvely cough, and paEents with or at risk of developing atelectasis.
Anyone who is able to read and/or follow verbal instrucEons.
Environment of Use. Hospital and home.
Contraindica(ons . ACT or use of the Vibralung AcousEcal Percussor, especially with PosiEve Expiratory Pressure,
may be contraindicated in paEents who have untreated air leaks, tension pneumothorax, bronchopleural fistula,
recent hemoptysis, or pulmonary hemorrhage as it may exacerbate those condiEons. Prescribers should weigh the
benefits against the risks in paEents with these condiEons.
Adverse Reac(ons . If the paEent complains of dry throat or mouth brought about by treatment with the Vibralung,
consider adding nebulizaEon with normal saline if it is not already being done. If the paEent complains of sore
mouth, jaw or teeth brought about by using the Vibralung device, the healthcare pracEEoner should assess the
paEent. If the paEent complains of dizziness or light-­‐headedness, assess the paEent for possible hypervenElaEon
while using the device. If the paEent appears to be hypervenElaEng, pause the treatment and coach the paEent to
alter their breathing paYern appropriately. Any other adverse reacEons should be fully assessed before conEnuing
therapy with the Vibralung AcousEcal Percussor.
