Primary Diagnosis Referral Listing
In cystic fibrosis, primary ciliary dyskinesia, or bronchiectasis, secretion clearance therapy is an established standard of care. However, in conditions other than primary disorders of the mucociliary system, Airway Clearance Therapy is generally not indicated solely on the basis of primary diagnosis; instead, prescriptions are made when an individual patient's pulmonary health is compromised by adverse events arising from one or more risk factors. The Vest® Airway Clearance System has been prescribed for airway clearance therapy for patients with respiratory complications associated with more than 600 diseases and conditions. Classifications are based on common pulmonary risk factors.
