AFFLOVEST MOBILE MECHANICAL OSCILLATION THERAPY

AffloVest is the first battery-operated high frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) therapy that allows people with bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, COPD, MS, MD, ALS and neuromuscular and respiratory diseases receive state-of-the-art airway clearance therapy on the go.

The AffloVest is engineered to encourage treatment adherence and compliance by:

• Experiencing an improved quality of life during airway clearance treatments
• Anatomically targeting all five lobes of the lungs - both front and back
• Promoting airway clearance and secretion mobilization
• Clinically improve lung function

Measurement Instructions

• Have the patient remove any outerwear and stand straight with arms at their side.
• The patient should not inhale to overly expand their chest but be in a natural state.
• Using a tailor’s or sewing tape, take the chest/bust measurement under the arms across the largest part of the chest and do the same around the largest part of the abdomen.
• Pull the measuring tape around without stretching or tightening the tape (a relaxed measurement.)
• Take the chest/bust and abdomen measurements with the patient’s arms at their side (not with their arms up or outward, see image below).
• Use the larger of the two measurements to determine the correct size.
• If there is a greater than 12” (30 cm) difference between the chest/bust and abdomen, please contact Handi Medical Supply for sizing determination and assistance.

Guidelines Based on Body Measurement

Please Note

• Fit and sizing vary from person to person
• Using the front adjustment straps, the AffloVest should fit very snuggly on the chest, but not limit the patient’s ability to take in a full, deep breath
• If needed, adjust the shoulder snaps to place the front upper AffloVest oscillation motors on the upper chest, just below the collar bone

Upon Receipt

• A 1-inch (2.5 cm) overlap of the vertical black seams on the front of the AffloVest is acceptable for all sizes
• A 1 to 5-inch (2.5-13 cm) gap between the two sides of the AffloVest is also acceptable for all sizes

AffloVest can be prescribed for:

• Bronchiectasis
• Cystic Fibrosis
• Late Effects of pollomyelitis
• Quadriplegia
• Muscular Dystrophy
• Myotonic disorders
• Anterior horn cell diseases
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Other diaphram disorders

AffloVest requires a doctor’s prescription for treatment by High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (HFCWO). The AffloVest has received the FDA’s 510k clearance for U.S. market availability, and is approved for Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance reimbursement under the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codeE0483 – High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation. The AffloVest is also available through the U.S Department of Veterans Affairs/Tricare. Patients must qualify to meet eligibility requirements.
