Summary
The purpose of this single arm post-market observational study is to evaluate the short-term effectiveness of the Simeox 200 airway clearance device in improving airway clearance in adult patients aged 18 to 85 with bronchiectasis and chronic mucus hypersecretion. The study aims to establish a baseline for wet sputum weight production using the Simeox 200 device. Additionally, the study aims to assess the short-term effects of Simeox 200 on various outcomes, including lung function, respiratory symptoms, and health-related quality of life. The study participants will undergo the following steps: 1. Baseline Visit (V0): Participants will attend a baseline visit for eligibility screening, consent, a physical exam, and baseline assessments of various relevant parameters such as lung function, SpO2, and Patient-Reported-Outcomes. 2. Treatment Sessions (V1): Participants will perform two supervised treatment sessions with the Simeox 200 device at the clinic, during which sputum will be collected and weighed. 3. Home Use : Participants will use the device at home twice daily for 2 weeks, recording their usage and symptoms in a daily electronic diary. 4. Final Clinic Visit (V2): Participants will return for a final clinic visit for repeat assessments. 5. Follow-up Phone Call (14 days after V2): Participants will receive a follow-up phone call to assess ongoing symptoms and health status.
