Medical Acoustics Introduces the Lung Flute® for Asthma, TB, pneumonia and Lung Cancer

[Guest guest]

This is used all over the world with great success, it is a simple flute that puts out 16 Hertz of frequency into the lungs, it is that simple, but the FDA will NOT allow it in the US. it interferes by curing peoples lungs! the FDA has approved it to be tested only back in 2006 in the US, but has since forgotten about it!!!_____________________ http://medicalacoustics.com/Home/LungFlute Home > Lung Flute®Medical Acoustics Introduces the Lung Flute®Medical Acoustics introduces its first FDA 510(k) cleared product: The Lung Flute®The Lung Flute® is cleared by the FDA for the collection of diagnostic sputum samples for multiple pulmonary disease states, such as pneumonia, chronic bronchitis, asthma, lung cancer and tuberculosis. Lung Flute® features include:Simple hand-held disposable deviceLow pressure operation510(k) FDA clearanceU.S. Patent No 6,702,769 and 6,984,214The Lung Flute® presents a safe, effective, convenient and rapid method of sputum induction.Low Frequency Acoustic Waves Help Patients Natural Mucus Clearing SystemA low frequency wave is generated at the mouth by exhaling through a mouthpiece over a laminar surface (Reed) inside the Lung Flute®. The resulting low frequency acoustic wave that is produced travels retrograde into the lower airways and lung parenchyma and increases mucociliary clearance. Patients expel air with the force required to blow out a single candle. Patients concentrate on producing a low tone through the device while breathing in a proscribed pattern. Twenty repetitions of a single two-breath pattern are performed with the device to complete a diagnostic session.2007 Frost and Sullivan Excellence in Medical Devices Award. Medical Acoustics honored for innovative technology in Lung Flute® device with 2007 North American Pulmonary Therapeutic and Diagnostic Devices Excellence in Technology of the Year Award.Proven Clinical BenefitsThe Lung Flute® provides a clinically proven solution for diagnostic sputum sample collection, reducing the time and complexity associated with collection of lower airway samples using saline induction.Minimally invasive technology produces reliable resultsLower airway samples obtained without the need for saline inductionRapid and convenient for practitioners and patientsCongested lung parenchymaLung Flute® generates low frequency acoustic waves which changes viscosity of sputumEffective clearing of obstruction will generate diagnostic quality samples The Lung Flute® – Mucus Clearing DeviceProductsProduct No. 1001-01 1 Lung Flute® with instruction sheetProduct No. 1002-01 Replaceable Reed packaging (26 reeds)Home > Lung Flute® > TherapeuticBy viewing this page you recognize that this product is approved for non-US residents only.Therapeutic UseGiven the potential efficacy of the Lung Flute® with respect to mobilizing deep lung secretions based on diagnostic data, we completed a therapeutic clinical trial at the Buffalo, NY VA Hospital in May 2009. The results of this clinical trial support the use of the Lung Flute® as an effective modality for improved treatment of pulmonary congestion. Based on the results of this clinical trial, the Company plans to submit a FDA 510(k) application for therapeutic use shortly.Subject Protocol40 COPD subjects divided into two groups:Predicate device therapy groupLung Flute® therapy groupSubjects will be assessed at regular intervalsTwo months in durationAssessment ToolsAt regular intervals the following will be assessed:Pulmonary function testResting oximetrySix-minute walkSubjects will complete a Visual Analogue Dyspnea Scale at regular intervalsInstructional VideoThe following video is a demonstration of the proper usage of the Lung Flute®.

Medical Acoustics demonstrated conformity with essential health and safety requirements set out in European directives. It is now qualified to apply the CE mark (Conformité Européenne) for marketing the Lung Flute® in the EU, both for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.Medical Acoustics officially launched the Lung Flute® within the European Union at MEDICA, the world's largest medical trade fair, in Dusseldorf, Germany, in November. Its strategy is to penetrate the EU market through leading medical device distributors, especially those that serve the pharmaceutical, medical and public health markets specializing in lung and respiratory diseases. "The Lung Flute® provides EU clinicians with a safe, easy-to-use means of obtaining high quality sputum samples for the improved diagnosis and treatment of a myriad of lung and respiratory diseases," said Terence Cryan, President of Medical Acoustics. "The applications for our device are far-ranging. They include, for example, public health officials using the Lung Flute® to quickly and effectively gather sputum samples to screen for tuberculosis (TB), or even health clinics using it to clear the lungs of asthma patients. Our novel technology is now accessible to over 300 million people throughout the European Union." The cost effective and easy-to-use device, which is shaped like a flute, creates a specific low-frequency sound when the user blows into it. This creates vibrations in the airways and lung which cause deep lung secretions to thin and be expelled. The standard method for obtaining lung secretions for testing involves a person breathing hypertonic saline into their lungs. This method is very uncomfortable, and in addition, cannot be done more frequently than every 48 hours. The Lung Flute® makes treatment, testing and diagnosis, much easier for the provider; significantly more comfortable for the patient; and costs much less to use. In addition, it may be used much more often-up to every 20 minutes-for varied treatment options and more accurate biomarker testing. About Medical Acoustics Medical Acoustics' mission is to design and develop devices employing acoustic technologies for diagnostic and therapeutic medical applications. It is a privately held, commercial-stage medical device company located in Buffalo, New York, that has been built on ten years of research and development in the science of applied acoustics. The Company's first product, the patented and FDA-cleared Lung Flute®, is a revolutionary medical device which is expected to play a significant role in drug development for asthma, chronic bronchitis, community-acquired pneumonia, lung cancer and tuberculosis.
