Testimonials

“I have now been using the Aerobika® OPEP, the AeroEclipse II® BAN and the Ombra® compressor for a little over a year now and the results I have seen are almost dream worthy. I have never really known what it’s like to actually breathe close to a “normal” non CF patient. “
John O. Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio
“I can breathe deeper because it makes me use parts of my lungs that I have never had to use. “
Brad J.Mendenhall, MS
“I think the thing I’ve noticed most is after I do my inhaled medications at night I have no rattling in my lungs when I go to bed.“
Tammy B.Folsom, CA
“There’s funny little ways that it’s made a difference. I was coughing so hard and there was so much pressure in my lungs that I had to sleep sitting up. It was hard to go out walking my dog for example because I was so breathless. So I really find the device helps to clear my lungs, I've been able to lie down at night so that just in itself it is a very good thing because it's better rest.”
“It means better health, it means I feel better. It also helps to just clear my airways in everyday situations if I want to go out to a show which can be hard to do when you’re a cougher. I use this a lot before I go to clear my airways so I don’t have to run into that problem when I’m out.”
“The Aerobika* OPEP device has proven to be more easy [sic] to use and monitor. We struggle to get my daughter to perform her chest therapy using the traditional [competitive] device. This has proven to be more effective.”
“I have had chronic cough for 5 years now. After just two uses I slept through the night without coughing several times during the night. I normally had severe long cough spells at least once a week…”
