Electromed, Inc. announced its launch of the SmartVest Clearway Airway Clearance System to the hospital market for inpatient use. The SmartVest Clearway system, which is designed for High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation therapy, offers an updated and efficient approach to pulmonary hygiene in the inpatient setting with proven patient outcomes. The SmartVest Clearway system uses HFCWO, a clinically proven therapy that helps clear the lungs of excess secretions, thereby reducing the risk of respiratory infections.
HFCWO delivers alternating pulses of air into a vest garment that rapidly compresses and releases the chest wall, resulting in an oscillation in airflow within the airways that acts to loosen, thin, and propel mucus toward the major airways where it can be expectorated.
Electromed, Inc. develops, manufactures, markets and sells products that provide airway clearance therapy, including the SmartVest Airway Clearance System, to patients with compromised pulmonary function. The Company applies High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (HFCWO) technologies in pulmonary care for patients of all ages. The SmartVest Clearway System consists of an inflatable therapy garment, a programmable air pulse generator and a patented single-hose that delivers air pulses from the generator to the garment to create oscillatory pressure on the chest wall. Its SmartVest Connect wireless technology is a personalized HFCWO therapy management portal for patients with compromised pulmonary function. The SmartVest Connect app securely connects to the SmartVest System through Bluetooth technology. The Company also markets the Single Patient Use (SPU) SmartVest and SmartVest Wrap to health care providers in the acute care setting.
