In the Flutter a steel ball vibrates inside a cone, causing air flow vibration. A new device, the Acapella, uses a counterweighted plug and magnet to create air flow oscillation .

CONCLUSIONS: The use of a flutter valve for 30 min/d for at least 4 weeks is enough to change physical properties and improve mucus transport by coughing and can contribute to the reduction of the total number of inflammatory cells of the respiratory secretions of subjects with bronchiectasis.
Read moreWhat is a Flutter technique?
What is the technique? The Flutter®, Turboforte / Pari O-PEP / AirPhysio and PEPE are small hand held device used for airway clearance . Treatment with these devices includes positive expiratory pressure and vibrations to help loosen the phlegm from the lungs.

CONCLUSIONS: The use of a flutter valve for 30 min/d for at least 4 weeks is enough to change physical properties and improve mucus transport by coughing and can contribute to the reduction of the total number of inflammatory cells of the respiratory secretions of subjects with bronchiectasis.
Read moreIs Flutter PEP a treatment?
The Flutter device was developed in Switzerland and combines positive expiratory pressure therapy with high–frequency oscillations within the airway 29. It is a controlled vibration system which produces positive expiratory pressure and cyclic oscillation of the airways during expiration.
Read moreHow do you use respiratory flutters?
Instruct the patient to slowly inhale to approximately 3/4 of a full breath. Place the FLUTTER® in the mouth with lips closed firmly around the stem. Position the FLUTTER® at the proper angle and perform a 2 to 3 second breath-hold. This allows the inhaled air to be evenly distributed throughout the lungs.
Read moreIs there a machine that removes phlegm?
AirPhysio is a mucus clearance and lung expansion OPEP device . The device uses an all-natural process called Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure (OPEP). This assists the body’s natural cleaning process. This helps to maintain optimal hygiene in the lungs and restores lung capacity.
