Description: The AirPhysio® Mucus Clearance Device for Children is designed to help children breathe easier so they can live, play and learn without being impacted by congested lungs. Suitable for ages 3 and up, it’s ideal for children who are affected by respiratory conditions such as asthma, colds and flu.
When their airways are semi-congested with mucus, it can totally disrupt their breathing and make it difficult for them to participate in activities they enjoy, and this can also mean a negative impact on their sleeping pattern. Safe and easy to use, the AirPhysio® lung expansion and mucus clearance device will help improve your child's lung function.
The AirPhysio® is an Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure (OPEP) device that works by utilising airway clearance techniques that doctors have been using in hospitals for years. This device is designed as a simple, yet effective lung training tool that helps to loosen and mobilise excess mucus in the airways, which can make it difficult to breathe.

Directions: 1. Take a deep abdominal breath and fill your lungs completely
2. Hold your breath for 2 to 3 seconds
3. Place the AirPhysio® in your mouth and exhale at a consistent pace for 3-5 seconds until you empty your lungs. Take it easy and don’t blow too hard. Blowing too quickly or too hard may overexert your lungs and make you feel tight in the chest.
4. The aim is to make the steel ball oscillate (move) so it lifts slightly off the cone. Most people can achieve this without too much exertion, but it may take a little while to train up your lung capacity.
5. Adjust the device so the cap faces the ceiling and tilt it until you achieve maximum vibrations in your chest. To amplify the effect in your chest, try to keep your cheeks fully expanded.
6. After exhaling through the device, you may feel mucus gathering at the back of your throat or near the top of your lungs. If so, cough to expel the mucus.
7. Repeat steps 1 to 6 approximately two times per minute for up to 5 minutes. To reduce the chance of feeling lightheaded, take two deep breaths between each session.
Product Warnings: Keep out of the reach of children and do not allow the AirPhysio® device to be used by unsupervised children.
The device is designed to be pulled apart for cleaning for multiple uses. Because of this, some of the small parts like the stainless steel ball and circular cone pose a choking hazard.
