To provide effective, yet gentle, airway clearance therapy

WHAT IS THE FREQUENCER®?

The Frequencer® provides non-invasive airway clearance therapy and promotes bronchial drainage by inducing vibration in the chest walls.

This device is intended to be a component of chest physiotherapy by providing a convenient method of external thorax manipulation.

The Frequencer® is indicated for patients who have respiratory ailments that involve defective mucociliary clearance, as typically seen in patients suffering from cystic fibrosis as well as chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, ciliary dyskinesia syndromes, asthma, muscular dystrophy, neuromuscular degenerative disorders, post-operative atelectasis and thoracic wall defects.

HOW DOES THE FREQUENCER® WORK?

For hospitals already acquainted with ultrasound and scanners, which operate at very high frequencies, the Frequencer® generates frequency within the range of 20-65Hz and offers an adjustable intensity based on the patient’s condition. Sound used at this frequency range offers specific and targeted treatment possibilities in airway clearance.

STEP 1

QUICK AND EASY SET-UP TO BEGIN TREATMENT

It only takes a few seconds for the patient or therapist to select individual settings and start therapy

STEP 2

SOUND WAVES PENETRATE DEEP INTO THE CHEST

Optimized frequency greatly reduces mucus viscosity and promotes mucus flow

Four sizes of single patient adapters with filter are available. The adapters optimize the treatment of patients of all ages and provide protection against the risk of cross-infection in hospitals.

INDICATIONS

Many patients, due to their unique or vulnerable condition, may not always be candidates for conventional airway clearance treatments. The Frequencer® provides the RT with the ability to treat the underlying airway clearance condition and provide a solution for these patients.

  • Cystic Fibrosis
  • Chronic Bronchitis
  • COPD
  • Bronchiectasis
  • Ciliary Dyskinesia Syndromes
  • Asthma
  • Muscular dystrophy
  • Neuromuscular Degenerative Disorder
  • Post-operative Atelectasis
  • Thoracic Wall Defect

CONTRAINDICATIONS

If a patient condition exists that could cause the use of the Frequencer® to present a risk to the patient, do not use the unit except
as directed by a physician. For relative contraindications refer to the USER MANUAL.
