Philips Respironics CA3000 CoughAssist Device - Emerson Cough Assist Machine

Overview

The CoughAssist CA-3000 applies positive and negative pressure into the throat and lungs to dislodge and remove any mucus or debris that might build up and cause breathing problems. This particular unit is the predecessor of the newly introduced Respironics T70. Even though the CoughAssist CA-3000 is no longer in production, there are still brand-new units in inventory for a fraction of the retail cost. Don’t be frightened -- Respironics CA-3000 Is a well-known machine and is still widely used and respected in clinics, hospitals, and homecare facilities around the world. This machine stimulates coughing and helps safely remove mucus buildup.

This machine offers a minimalist, non-intrusive approach to suctioning. CA-3000 is a great tool to combat respiratory infections. For those who use other sleeping aids like oxygen masks, mouthpieces, or an endotracheal tube, this machine is very versatile and will work alongside any of the tools mentioned. BlowoutMedical.com carries other respiratory therapy products as well. This Asthma Peak Flow Meter is made by the same manufacturer, Respironics, and is made to show the flow range of 60-810 BLM.
