The fully mobile AffloVest HFCWO Airway Clearance System mimics anatomically targeted chest physical therapy (CPT).
It can deliver effective airway clearance therapy to help improve bronchial drainage. The AffloVest Therapy mobilizes lung secretions. Individuals with chronic respiratory conditions like Cystic Fibrosis, Bronchiectasis, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), and those with neuromuscular diseases like MS, MD, and ALS use the AffloVest.
How does the AffloVest work?
The AffloVest uses electro-mechanical actuators to produce oscillations. This system was the first battery-operated High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (HFCWO) device. AffloVest users receive state-of-the-art airway clearance therapy on-the-go. The system is compact. The Afflovests is small and light and comes with a lightweight, wheeled travel bag. Because of these advantages, there are already more than 12,000 AffloVest systems in use today. The AffloVest Airway Clearance System is only used for patients that can sit or stand independently. And because HFCWO treatment is more comfortable than manual percussion therapy, it is easier to do your treatments regularly. We do not recommend the AffloVest for bedridden patients. We recommend the Hill-Rom Model 105 or the RespirTech inCourage Systems for patients that are not mobile. Some patients that cannot cough effectively may benefit from the Respironics CoughAssist T70, or the Hill-Rom The Vest 105 System Economy.
The AffloVest Mobile Airway Clearance System has eight mechanical oscillating motors. These motors target all 5 lobes of the lungs. Both the front and front and back sides are targeted using patented, Direct Dynamic Oscillation™ technology. There are no bulky hoses or air pulse generators. Because of this, the AffloVest® Mobile Airway Clearance System is engineered to encourage treatment adherence. Therefore, AffloVest patients experience an improved quality of life during airway clearance treatments. No longer do AffloVest users need to remain stationary during therapy sessions. Now, they are free to move about, walk, work, bike or even garden.

The AffloVest has to fit the user to deliver results.
Therefore, it is important that you take a chest circumference measurement across the widest part of the user’s chest.
The proper size is selected based on the chest circumference measurement.
Proper AffloVest sizing delivers optimal airway clearance therapy.
