@irenea8 This video helped clear up a number of questions about Volara.

Essentially, it appears to be a neb and automated PEP device in one. One of my questions was when do you clear/huff. That time is programmed in throughout the treatment. There's a 30 minute max time, so the user cannot go on and on. The video showed a 17 minute treatment time, so maybe that's average?

How well Volara clears in comparison with other methods was not answered. Maybe someone that has it will chime in.

It looks a bit complicated on the video. I guess the basic idea is that it may help more than an Aerobika to loosen and clear the mucus. My first clearance session with neb followed by Aerobika lasts about an hour total but perhaps with this it would be less time. If anyone else uses this and finds it works better than flutter devices let us know!
