We are pleased to introduce the CoughAssist Mechanical Insufflation-Exsufflation (MI-E) device. This latest version of the In-Exsufflator Cough Machine (aka Cofflator) is easy to use and features a sleek new design, quieter operation, an adjustable internal inhale-flow restrictor, a simpler breathing circuit and an optional mobile stand.

• Indications for Use: Any patient unable to cough or clear secretions effectively due to reduced peak cough expiratory flow (less than 3 liters per second), resulting from high spinal cord injuries, neuromuscular deficits or severe fatigue associated with intrinsic lung disease, is a candidate for the CoughAssist.
  
• Contraindications: Any patient with a history of bullous emphysema, known susceptibility to pneumothorax or pnuemo-mediastinum, or known to have had any recent barotrauma, should be carefully considered before use.

There are two models of the CoughAssist - automatic and manual. Both models are available in either a 110-volt or 220-volt version. The CM-3000 (110-volt) and CM-3200 (220-volt) use a manually operated valve to shift from positive to negative pressure and back, whereas the CA-3000 (110-volt) and CA-3200 (220-volt) have timing mechanisms to automate the inspiratory and expiratory cycles, as well as a manual control. The CoughAssist meets all US, Canadian and European electrical standards.
