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!

For me it does however I suffer from side effects. My first 4 months, my breathing was better but my ears suffered. The pressure affected my eustachian tubes, like swimmers ear and the albuterol getting pushed further into the lungs amplified my tachycardia to the point I stopped everything and saw a cardiologist. Got the SVT under control and went back on the volara and while breathing better, now have tinnitus in the left ear. I was on private insurance last year who surprisingly bought the machine for me.
