Portex Acapella Choice Vibratory PEP Device (Smiths Medical 27-7000 & 27-8000) from Portex is a device that vibrates to break up mucus and promotes respiratory secretions. The device can be used with the respiratory patient in any position relative to gravity, including sitting down, standing, or reclining. The Acapella Choice Valve helps to open airways in patients with lung disease who have secretory problems such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Cystic Fibrosis, or Asthma. The major advantage of this product over other Portex valves is that it disassembles for cleaning.
