will instruct you on the proper technique. For maximum efficacy, try to suppress coughing until the end of your
treatment.
7. Repeat steps 3–6 for 10–20 minutes or as prescribed by your healthcare professional. The entire procedure should
be performed at least twice a day on a regular basis, and increased to 3–4 times per day if you are producing a lot
of mucus.
8. The goal is to keep your lungs clear and ventilatory capacity up. Continue to use your treatments on a regular basis
even if you are bringing up just a little mucus.
CAUTION: If you feel dizzy or lightheaded, or have any other discomfort during treatment, discontinue therapy and
contact your physician or healthcare provider.
HOW TO USE YOUR AEROBIKA* OSCILLATING PEP WITH YOUR
NEBULIZER
The Aerobika* Oscillating PEP device may also be used with a small volume nebulizer with a 22 mm adapter. Your
healthcare professional will advise which medication to use for combined treatments.
Medications which open your airways (eg. albuterol) or help to thin mucus (eg. hypertonic saline) would be good
choices to use with your Aerobika* Oscillating PEP because they would help remove or thin the mucus in your lungs.
Medications you want to stay in your lungs, like antibiotics, should be taken after you have completed your treatment.
1. Ensure you have read and understood the instructions provided
with your nebulizer prior to starting your treatment.
2. Ensure your nebulizer is set-up correctly and medication has been
added to the nebulizer cup. Remove the mouthpiece (or mask)
from the nebulizer.
3. Attach the nebulizer to the Nebulizer Port of the Aerobika*
Oscillating PEP, as shown in Figure 3.
4. Switch on the compressed air source, and complete your combined
treatment using the breathing technique outlined above.
NOTE:
• No adapter is required if used with the AEROECLIPSE* brand of
Breath Actuated Nebulizer.
• Always ensure the Aerobika* Oscillating PEP mouthpiece is
used otherwise the device will not work properly. (See Figure 3)
• If used in combination with a nebulizer, the device should be
cleaned before next use to remove any residue that may have
deposited on exhalation.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTING YOUR AEROBIKA* OSCILLATING PEP
DEVICE
1. CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
The Aerobika* Oscillating PEP device will disassemble
into four parts for cleaning: the mouthpiece, top case,
bottom case and valve cartridge. If necessary, the
Aerobika* Oscillating PEP may be cleaned after each
treatment.
Healthcare providers should always use clinical
judgment to select the appropriate Cleaning
(1) and Disinfection (2) method and frequency,
based on the severity of the patients' disease
state.
