The patient must first take the mouthpiece out of his/her mouth to avoid being exposed to continuous negative pressure. This functionality can be activated at any time, provided that SIMEOX is in active mode: the expiratory kit is present and recognised by SIMEOX, the active blue light is illuminated.

This functionality is intended solely to remove moisture from the tube: the recommendations regarding washing and disinfection of expiratory kits remain valid to ensure optimal device hygiene.

4.9 Drying the tube At the end of the session we advise you to use this functionality: as SIMEOX functions during the expiratory phase of the patient, it is possible that the moisture in the expired air will condense in the tube of the expiratory kit. To remove this moisture, SIMEOX is equipped with a tube-drying functionality.

4.8 Protecting the expiratory kit during the pause At the end of each cycle/program, in order to allow the patient to rest, the SIMEOX is paused for 45 seconds: the CYCLE lights blink, it is not possible to press the GO button during this pause time.

In order not to risk contaminating the expiratory kit during this pause time (falling to the ground, contact of the mouthpiece with the table, etc.), we recommend that you store it as shown opposite:

Check that the patient has taken the mouthpiece out of his/her mouth

Press the button (2) , pressure must be maintained until drying is started.

After 1 second all PERFORMANCE lights (5) illuminate to indicate that the command has been taken into account.

The performance lights switch off one after the other ( countdown ).

When all the lights have switched off, SIMEOX enters dehumidification mode:

SIMEOX generates continuous negative pressure, without vibrations.

The cycle lights blink simultaneously.

At the end of the cycle, SIMEOX returns to its initial state.
