The vest airway clearance system, model 105 was developed to provide effective airway clearance therapy.The system consists of an inflatable garment attached to an air pulse generator that rapidly inflates and deflates the inflatable garment.This causes the chest wall to be gently compressed and released, which creates airflow within the lungs.This process moves the mucus toward the large airways where it can be cleared by coughing or suctioning.This type of airway clearance therapy is referred to as high frequency chest wall oscillation (hfcwo).Customer confirmed that the device was discarded.Product was not available and a solution could not be provided.Therefore, based on this information, no further action is required.Although there was no reported injury with this event, if the report of a damaged power cord with exposed wires were to recur, it could potentially cause serious injury or death.Therefore, baxter is reporting this event.
