Brief Summary

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

Regular bronchial clearance is essential in patients with cystic fibrosis for their bronchial health. SIMEOX® (Physio-Assist, Aix en Provence, France) is an innovative medical device for the drainage of the bronchial tree.

By changing the rheological properties of mucus, SIMEOX® helps to mobilize secretions and assists their transport to the upper airways. This technology is based on fundamental research on bronchial mucus rheology. At the present time, SIMEOX® device is mainly used over a short period at the time or after an exacerbation in healthcare structures (hospitals, physiotherapy practices, post-care, and rehabilitation units, etc…). The clinical effects observed in the short term encourages long-term autonomous use by the patients themselves.

The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the efficiency and acceptability of SIMEOX® used at home by the patient himself for bronchial clearance in patients with cystic fibrosis.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

Exclusion Criteria

* Severe pneumothorax or hemoptysis (more than 30ml per 24 hours) within 6 weeks before the inclusion day.
* Patient placed on a transplant waiting list
* Any contraindication to an instrumental bronchial clearance technique
* Patients already own and use SIMEOX at home
* Unavailable patient or patient wishing to move to a different region within three months after inclusion.
* Patient currently participating or having participated to another interventional clinical research within a month prior inclusion date, that may impact the study, this impact is left to the investigator's judgment.
