A chest-oscillation airway secretion-clearing system vest is a wearable garment designed to assist patients in clearing mucus from their airways. By rapidly inflating and deflating against the chest wall, it generates high-frequency chest wall oscillations (HFCWO) to loosen and mobilize bronchial secretions, aiding respiratory comfort and function.
These vests are typically reusable and must be connected to a dedicated generator unit for operation. Regulation and classification vary by jurisdiction, but they are generally considered medical devices intended for therapeutic use in respiratory care. Always verify local compliance requirements before use or supply.
