With AffloVest, I feel like I am getting a better treatment and that the treatment is more efficient. I feel
like I can breath my medication in deeper and feel great now. My lung function has gone up 14% and I think that

Increased Sessions
I am using my AffloVest now and just love it. I have tried the Hill-Rom vest and didn’t like it at all. This
vest gives me so much freedom and allows me to increase my therapy sessions without loosing my freedom. I’m a
very happy AffloVest patient!

His CF Fight is Easier
My son has had his vest for some time. It has made our life so different and better in every way. We are not
tied down, we can live a normal life and he can be as normal as he can living with CF. With this vest, his fight
is so much easier.

A Game Changer
AffloVest has truly changed how we handle secretions/congestion, in a way that The Vest never could. We use it
in conjunction with a cough assist machine, and Peri has been pneumonia free and no hospital stays for the
entire time that we have used AffloVest. We take it on vacations, day trips, without missing any sessions.
