Chest-percussion airway secretion-clearing systems are medical devices that use mechanical percussion to help break up mucus or phlegm in the lungs. By delivering rapid, controlled tapping to the chest wall, these devices assist patients with respiratory conditions—such as cystic fibrosis, COPD, or bronchiectasis—in clearing airways and improving breathing efficiency.
These systems are typically regulated as medical devices and may require compliance with safety and performance standards depending on the jurisdiction. They are designed for use in clinical or home settings by trained healthcare professionals, often powered by electricity and portable for patient convenience.
