ABM Respiratory Care BiWaze System Cleared

The FDA has given a 510(k) nod to ABM Respiratory Care’s BiWaze Clear airway clearance system to prevent lung collapse and treat acute and chronic respiratory conditions.

The system, which delivers lung expansion, high frequency oscillation and nebulization, helps clear secretions from the airways in people with respiratory conditions such as cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, and neuromuscular conditions. 

The BiWaze Clear system features a dual-lumen breathing circuit, which prevents exhaled aerosol from escaping the handset or breathing tube until it is filtered, helping prevent the spread of bacterial and viral infections.

The system can be used in hospitals, long-term care environments and at home.
