Acapella Vibratory PEP Therapy Device plus usual care
The acapella® Vibratory PEP Therapy System (PEP-FV) device is a handheld device that operates in same principle as standard FV. Unlike standard FV, it is not gravity dependent. It comes in two different devices to accommodate for different flows rates of the patient. It has similar properties of a standard FV and may be better tolerated.

The Sham Acapella Vibratory PEP Device is the same as the Therapy Device, except the flutter valve has been removed from the device.
