Accessing Unlock Mode
WARNING
The information on this page is ONLY for home care providers. Remove this page from the manual
before giving the manual to the patient.
Lock & Unlock Modes
The device has operation modes as follows;
Unlock Mode
: In this mode, all therapy setting/controls are unrestricted to the user. This
mode is primarily used by clinicians or advanced users with extensive training and relevant
respiratory knowledge. The users can have full access to adjust therapy settings based on the
patient’s physiological needs.
Lock Mode
: In this mode, majority of the therapy settings are restricted/locked. Users cannot
change the therapy air parameters beyond a preset range. However, users can choose
different therapy settings using pre-saved profiles. This mode is suitable for home users who
are with minimal medical training and basic knowledge of the product. This mode is mainly
intended for providing limited access to prevent risk of inappropriate therapy delivery.
When the device is in Lock Mode, use the following steps to enter Unlock Mode:
From the Standby screen, select the lock symbol from left corner of top menu
bar and enter the following password <11012018>
Note:
ABM recommends that home care providers set the device back to Lock Mode before returning it to
the patient so patients cannot change their prescription settings.

1 Introduction
The BiWaze™ Cough device helps to clear bronchopulmonary secretions from the
respiratory system by providing a therapy which mimics a cough. The therapy consists of
three phases which mimic a cough; inhale, exhale, and pause phase.
The inhale phase is positive airway pressure to expand the lungs. Then exhale phase is a
sudden shift to negative pressure to pull the air out of lungs. Finally, the pause phase
provides positive pressure which keeps the airways open in between the inhale and exhale
phases.
This User Guide is applicable for product “BiWaze Cough” (Model “BiWaze Cough”)
indented for a patient or care provider user.
WARNING
• Use the BiWaze Cough device only as directed by a physician or healthcare provider.
• Use the BiWaze Cough device only for the intended use as described in this manual.
Advice contained in this manual does not supersede instructions given by the prescribing
physician.
• Read the entire manual before using the BiWaze Cough device.
• Install and configure the BiWaze Cough device in accordance with the instructions
provided in this guide.
CAUTION (For USA only)
• Federal law restricts this device to sale/use by or on the order of a physician.
1.1
Intended Use
This product is used for assisting patients to clear retained bronchopulmonary secretions
by gradually applying positive pressure to the airway, then rapidly shifting to a negative
pressure. This rapid shift in pressure, via a facemask, mouthpiece, endotracheal or
tracheostomy tube produces a high expiratory flow rate from the lungs, simulating a
cough
This device is designed for use on patients unable to cough or clear secretions effectively
due to reduced peak cough expiratory flow, resulting from high spinal cord injuries,

neuromuscular deficits or severe fatigue associated with intrinsic lung disease. This device
is intended for use in hospital, institutional setting or in home on adult patients and
pediatric patients 3 years old and up.
1.2
Contraindications
The BiWaze Cough device is contraindicated in patients with the following pre-existing
conditions:
• known susceptibility to pneumothorax or pneumo-mediastinum
• severe bullous lung disease
• recent barotrauma
1.3
General Warnings and Cautions
The following are general warnings and cautions. Further specific warnings, cautions and
notes appear next to the relevant instruction in the manual.
WARNING
A
warning
alerts you to possible injury.

2.1
System Overview
The BiWaze Cough helps patients in clearing excessively retained
bronchopulmonary secretions in the lungs and upper airways. This is done by
progressively applying positive pressure to the airway and then rapidly shifting to a
significant negative pressure. This action replicates the effects of a natural cough and
thereby helping in removal of secretions retained in the airways.
The therapy air is delivered through a Breathing Circuit which generally consists of

corrugated breathing tubes (standard and custom types), B/V filter, end adapters,
and with either the mouthpiece, face mask or an adapter to a tracheostomy or
endotracheal tube as the final patient interface.

Therapy Modes and Features
3.1
Therapy Modes
Therapy Mode
Description
Manual
Manual mode delivers therapy based on the Pause
Pressure Inhale Pressure and Exhale Pressure prescription
settings. The device delivers the set InhalePressure for
the amount of time that the “+” button is pressed.The
device delivers the set ExhalePressure for the amount of
time that the “-“ is pressed and delivers Pause Pressure
when neither button are pressed Therapy starts in the
Pause Phase when activated in Manual mode.
Auto
Auto mode delivers therapy based on the following
prescription settings: Inhale Pressure, Inhale Time, Exhale
Pressure, Exhale Time, Pause Pressure,Pause Time and
Number of Cycles. Auto mode delivers pressure in the
following sequence, repeating the sequence until the
user pauses & exits the therapy, or the number of cycles
count is reached:

BiWaze Cough - User Reference Manual
18
1. Positive pressure at the Inhale Pressure setting for the
duration of the Inhale Time setting.
2. Negative pressure at the Exhale Pressure setting for
the duration of the Exhale Time setting.
3. Pause pressure for the duration of the Pause Time
setting.
When the
Inspiratory Trigger
feature is enabled, Auto
mode delivers pressure in the following sequence,
repeating the sequence until user pauses & exits the
therapy or the number of cycles count is reached:
1. Positive pressure at the Inhale Pressure setting when
the device detects the patient’s effort to inhale for the
duration of the Inhale Time setting.
2. Negative pressure at the Exhale Pressure setting for
the duration of the Exhale Time setting.
3. Pause pressure until the device detects the next
inspiratory Effort or Pause phase timeout of 30 secs.
Note: The device goes in standby mode and therapy is
paused when there is a breath phase time out.
3.2
Therapy Features
The device provides the following therapy features.
3.2.1 Inspiratory Trigger
An important characteristic of the device is its ability to trigger on the patient’s
inspiration to help synchronize the therapy with the patient.
The inspiratory trigger feature is available when the device is in Auto mode. The
pressure delivery sequence is synchronized with the patient’s effort to inhale.
When the inspiratory trigger setting is activated in Auto mode, therapy starts in the
Pause phase until patient effort is detected or the Pause phase times out after 30
seconds and device goes in standby mode.

BiWaze Cough - User Reference Manual
19
When inspiratory trigger is enabled, the Pause Time setting is disabled, and the user
cannot adjust the Pause Time setting.
3.2.2 Oscillations
The Oscillation therapy feature delivers an oscillatory therapy based on Frequency
and Amplitude settings. Use of the oscillation feature enhances mobilization and
improves bronchial drainage. The oscillations will be least apparent to the patient
with lower amplitude and higher frequency settings.
If the Oscillation setting is enabled, the user can choose to apply the vibrations along
with oscillations. Vibrations are low amplitude 20Hz oscillations which are super
imposed on standard oscillations. The Frequency and Amplitude settings of
oscillations can be changed as needed.
4
Therapy Setup
Follow the following steps to prepare the device for the therapy.
Note
: If the device was stored in temperature below 5 °C or above 35 °C, allow the
device to normalize for 15 minutes at room temperature (~20 °C) before using the
device.
4.1
Position the Device Properly
Position the device on a firm, flat surface within arm’s length reach of the patient or
device operator. The device should be placed below elbow level for best visibility of
the screen. Make sure that the air inlet areas on the left and right of the device are
not blocked. Air must flow freely around the device for the system to work properly.
4.2
Assemble the Patient circuit
BiWaze Cough System offers two patient circuit types.
