 Interfacing a PEP Device to the Medicator

This photo was sent to us by Wally Smith RRT, equipment coordinator for the Respiratory Care Department at Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown PA.  It shows a DHD Acapella® Vibratory Expiratory Positive Pressure device interfaced to a filter which is in turn attached to the Multi-Function Port filter of the Medicator Maximizer Plus, Cat #AM-602.

In this configuration, a blue 22 mm ID X 22 mm ID adapter has been used to mate the Acapella® to the end of the filter.  The filter protects the Acapella® from receiving expiratory aerosol deposition.  The same adapter could also be used to attach the Acapella® directly to the Medicator Multi-Function Port in the event that a filter was not necessary.
