3.4 Control pad components
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.
In order to avoid unintentionally placing SIMEOX on standby, this operation requires the Standby/On button to be pressed continuously for 3 seconds.
Program adjustment button
This button allows the program to be adjusted to the patient according to their tolerance:
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 tube dehumidification cycle, see below.
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.
Remote control battery indicator This light changes to orange when the remote control batteries need to be replaced.
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
The five green lights should 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.
