3.4 Control pad components

1

“Standby/On” button

This button activates operation of SIMEOX and its

“standby” mode.

When the light is yellow-orange, the device is in

standby.

When the light is blinking blue, the device is active

but is not yet usable as it has not detected a valid

accessory (usable SIMEOX expiratory kit): either

the expiratory kit used is not supplied by PHYSIO-

ASSIST, or the SIMEOX consumable allowed use

counter is depleted.

In this case: you must replace the accessory to be able

to use SIMEOX.

When the light is steady blue (no blinking), the

device is active and usable.

As SIMEOX is not watertight and does not withstand

being dropped, it is preferable to use the bag

provided to transport it. In this way your SIMEOX

will be best protected from water and impacts.

Program adjustment button

This button allows the program to be adjusted to

the patient according to their preference:

PROG 1: program 1 is selected for 6 expiratory

phases per cycle

PROG 2: program 2 is selected for 8 expiratory

phases per cycle

PROG 3: program 3 is selected for 10 expiratory

phases per cycle

It is possible to change the program at the end of each

cycle, or during the 45-second pause.

For each program: The last two phases have a

frequency that is lower than that of the preceding

phases, in order to increase transport of the mucus.

This button also triggers a drying tube cycle, see

below.

3

Power adjustment button

This button adjusts the power of the signal sent

to the patient. It can be adjusted at any time in

the session based on how the patient feels.

It is possible to change the power setting at

any time: during the session, at the end of each

program, or during the 45-second pause.

4

Remote control battery indicator

This light changes to orange when the remote

control battery needs to be replaced.

5

Performance indicator

This visual feedback enables the operating quality

of the device to be viewed.

The number of green lights illuminated (between 1

and 5) is an indicator of the quality of transmission

of the pneumatic signal in the lower airways

Three to five green lights should progressively

illuminate when the patient expires.

If the red lights illuminate, the expiration must be

stopped by releasing the remote control button

or removing the mouthpiece.
