Simeox
Innovation in Airway Clearance
Efficient and Fatigue-free Bronchial Drainage
DIRECT ACTION
ON MUCUS
Simeox delivers during exhalation a specific pneumatic vibratory signal, developed following several years of research, capable of liquefying mucus in less than 2 seconds
FATIGUE-FREE
BRONCHIAL DRAINAGE
The patient works at tidal volume and the exhalation is gentle, the patient's fatigue is therefore not increased allowing them to live their treatment session in full serenity
CLEARANCE OF THE
DISTAL AIRWAYS
The Simeox signal has the ability to spread down to the distal airways of the bronchial tree without any risk of collapse, allowing effective clearance of peripheral airways that are generally difficult to reach
AUTONOMOUS
USE
After having been trained by a healthcare professional, Simeox can be used at home by the patient himself in full autonomy
Simeox
Which patients?
For patients with a viscous and thick mucus, for whom the mucociliary process is impaired – among which cystic fibrosis patients and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) patients.

FAQ

What is Simeox?
What is Simeox?
Simeox is a class 2a medical device that delivers a specific pneumatic signal* during the exhalation phase that liquefies bronchial mucus while transporting it from the distal part of the lung to the central airways. Simeox helps patients with pulmonary diseases suffering from abundant and sticky mucus to mobilize and drain their secretions. The patient uses Simeox in total relaxation, therefore his fatigability is not increased.
*This signal has been designed based on 4 years of fundamental research about the bronchial mucus properties and has a direct impact on the viscosity of mucus.

Can I use Simeox on neuromuscular patients?
Can I use Simeox on neuromuscular patients?
Simeox assists the exhalation phase, not the inspiration phase. The patient needs to be able to inspire by himself.
Therefore, by design, patients with muscular weakness cannot efficiently use Simeox. -
What is the age/weight limit for using Simeox?
What is the age/weight limit for using Simeox?
The age limit is 8 years-old. There is no weight limit.
-
What are the main benefits of using Simeox?
What are the main benefits of using Simeox?
Simeox allows distal drainage of sticky mucus by liquefying bronchial secretions with no increase of the patient fatigability. By deflating the lungs, it helps to restore thoracic compliance.
-
Is there a risk that liquefied mucus falls at the bottom of the patient’s lungs?
Is there a risk that liquefied mucus falls at the bottom of the patient’s lungs?
No.
Fundamental research supporting the design of the Simeox technology has shown that when bronchial mucus stimulation stops, it goes back to its initial sticky status. This is why Simeox signal liquefies mucus and transports it at the same time. -
What type of settings do I need to adjust?
What type of settings do I need to adjust?
There are very few settings to adjust when using Simeox:
- Number of exhalations (6, 8 or 10)
- Intensity of signal power (25%, 50%, 75% or 100%)
-
Can we use generic tubing?
Can we use generic tubing?
No.
Specific accessories (tubing, filter and mouthpiece) are to be used in combination with Simeox.
The design of the filter is very specific and allows an acceleration of the propagation of the signal which contributes to the efficacy of the device. -
Does Simeox collect pattern of usage data?
Does Simeox collect pattern of usage data?
Currently, Simeox does not collect any therapy data.
