Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study will be an open label laboratory study with all subjects receiving HFCWO with The Monarch® System

Objective:

Assess device settings and to identify frequency/pressure (intensity) combinations that produce high airflow and oscillating volume

Methodology:

Subjects will receive HFCWO using The Monarch® System at multiple frequency / intensity combinations on a single visit day. Frequency / intensity combinations will be evaluated to determine which settings produce highest airflow and highest oscillating volume.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study will be an open-label, laboratory study. All enrolled subjects will receive HFCWO therapy with the Monarch® system. The study will be conducted at one (1) site in the US.

The study will evaluate oscillating airflow and oscillating volume induced during therapy with the Monarch® system. Subjects will also rate the comfort of the therapy. Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) who meet all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be enrolled in the study.

Therapy with the Monarch® system will be delivered using multiple frequency/intensity combination settings. The order of settings will be randomized for each study subject. During therapy oscillating flow and volume measurements will be obtained for each frequency/intensity combination. Following each frequency/intensity combination, subjects will respond to a subjective assessment of the comfort of the therapy by rating the comfort on a visual analogue scale (VAS).
