Aerobika OPEP Device - Aerobika 振盪式呼氣正壓治療器

The Aerobika Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure Therapy System ( Monaghan Medical 62510) is a Mucus Clearance Device made by Monaghan Medical. This PEP Therapy System is a Respiratory Therapy device that creates pressure in the lungs to keep the airway from closing and help move mucus into the larger airway passages where it may be coughed out. This therapy system can be life-changing for people with breathing-related disorders, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, and cystic fibrosis. The Aerobika device naturally opens weak or collapsed airways, allowing for more oxygen intake without the need for medication. Movement of mucus has been clinically proven to decrease cough frequency and breathlessness. Individuals with COPD who use this device have reported an increased exercise tolerance, enabling a more active lifestyle and improved quality of life.

What Does the Aerobika Oscillating PEP System Device Do?

The small ergonomic design of this Breathing Therapy device helps users easily hold the Aerobika OPEP in the palm of their hand. As the user exhales through the Aerobika flutter valve, they will feel short pulses of resistance against exhaled breath as the mucus loosens and encourages forceful "huff" coughs. The Aerobika valve provides the oscillating positive pressure with five resistance settings. Users can switch between higher and lower settings of positive pressure to find the right amount of pressure for their needs.

What Does the Manometer Do?

The Aerobika OPEP Device is available with a manometer, which provides visible pressure measurements. The instrument offers feedback for precise monitoring. With each exhalation, the gauge rises. The user may identify if their breathing falls within the ideal range (10-20 cm H20).

Aerobika® 振盪式呼氣正壓治療系統（Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure Therapy System）（Monaghan Medical 62510）是一款由 Monaghan Medical 製造的排痰裝置（Mucus Clearance Device）。此正呼氣壓（PEP）治療系統屬於呼吸治療設備，能在肺部產生正壓，以防止氣道閉合，並協助將痰液移動至較大的氣道，使患者更容易將痰液咳出。

此治療系統可為患有呼吸系統疾病的人士帶來顯著幫助，例如：

• 慢性阻塞性肺病（COPD）
• 肺炎（Pneumonia）
• 肺氣腫（Emphysema）
• 慢性支氣管炎（Chronic Bronchitis）
• 支氣管擴張症（Bronchiectasis）
• 囊性纖維化（Cystic Fibrosis）

Aerobika® 裝置可自然地打開狹窄或塌陷的氣道，讓患者在無需藥物輔助的情況下增加氧氣攝取量。臨床研究已證實，促進痰液排出有助於減少咳嗽頻率及呼吸困難。使用此裝置的 COPD 患者亦反映其運動耐受能力有所提升，從而能維持更積極的生活方式並改善生活品質。

Aerobika® 振盪式正呼氣壓系統的功能

此呼吸治療裝置採用小巧且符合人體工學的設計，方便使用者單手握持。當使用者透過 Aerobika® 裝置呼氣時，會感受到一連串短促的阻力脈衝，這些振盪壓力有助於鬆動氣道內的痰液，並促進有效的「哈氣咳嗽（Huff Cough）」排痰技巧。

Aerobika® 裝置設有 5 段阻力調節設定，可產生振盪式正呼氣壓。使用者可根據個人需要，在較高或較低的阻力設定之間調整，以獲得最合適的治療壓力。

壓力計（Manometer）的作用

Aerobika® OPEP 裝置可選配壓力計（Manometer），用以顯示實時呼氣壓力數值。壓力計能提供清晰的視覺回饋，協助使用者監察治療效果及確保正確操作。

每次呼氣時，壓力計指針都會上升，讓使用者確認其呼氣壓力是否維持於建議治療範圍 10–20 cmH₂O（水柱厘米） 之間，以達到最佳的氣道清理效果。

How to Use the Aerobika OPEP

1. Treatments should be performed in a comfortable seated position.
2. Begin by placing the mouthpiece into the mouth and keep lips down to form a seal. Hold the device on the bottom so as not to block the exhalation path at the top.
3. Inhale deeply through the Aerobika, but don't fill the lungs. User holds their breath for at least three seconds before releasing it.
4. Exhale very slowly through the Monaghan Aerobika inhaler while keeping cheeks flat and firm. Always maintain a seal. The exhalation should be at least three to four times the length of the initial inhalation. Keep the cheeks flat and firm to maximize treatment effectiveness.
5. Continue this process for 10 to 20 breaths, or as many as are instructed by a doctor. Hold off on coughing until after the 10th breath. Next, transition to a "huff" cough to actively get the mucus moving.
6. Repeat as directed by a doctor. This process should be performed at least twice a day and regularly.
7. Caution: If the treatment causes dizziness, lightheadedness, or discomfort, discontinue therapy and consult a doctor.

The Aerobika OPEP valve is designed for easy disassembly and cleaning. It is recommended that users clean their devices daily. The materials are dishwasher safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Aerobika device used for?

The Aerobika is an OPEP breathing therapy device.

What is OPEP therapy?

OPEP stands for "oscillating positive expiratory pressure." An OPEP, like the Aerobika oscillating positive expiratory pressure device, creates small palpitations that keep airways open as it is used. This helps break up and expel mucus from the lungs. To use an OPEP device, inhale and exhale through the device several times, and then huff and cough to dislodge settled mucus.

What is a huff cough?

Huff cough is a type of cough that helps push mucus out of the lungs. To huff or cough, follow these instructions:

Take a brief, shallow breath.

Shape the mouth into an 'O'.

Vigorously exhale.

How often should I use Aerobika mucus clearance device?

This product should be used in 15- to 20-minute cycles two to four times each day.

常見問題（Frequently Asked Questions）

Aerobika® 裝置的用途是什麼？

Aerobika® 是一種 OPEP 呼吸治療裝置（振盪式呼氣正壓裝置）。

什麼是 OPEP 治療？

OPEP 代表「振盪式呼氣正壓（Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure）」。

OPEP 裝置（例如 Aerobika® 振盪式呼氣正壓裝置）在使用時會產生細微的振盪脈衝，幫助保持氣道開放。此作用有助於鬆動及排出肺部痰液。

使用 OPEP 裝置時，使用者需透過裝置進行數次吸氣及呼氣，然後配合「哈氣咳嗽（Huff Cough）」技巧，以鬆動及清除積聚的痰液。

什麼是哈氣咳嗽（Huff Cough）？

哈氣咳嗽是一種協助將肺部痰液排出的咳嗽技巧。

進行哈氣咳嗽的方法：

1. 進行一次短促、較淺的吸氣。
2. 嘴巴形成「O」形。
3. 用力呼氣。

Aerobika® 排痰裝置應多久使用一次？

本產品建議每次使用 15 至 20 分鐘，每日進行 2 至 4 次，或依醫護人員指示使用。
