Indications For Use - Cegla RC-CORNET PLUS Notice D'utilisation

INDICATIONS FOR USE

The RC-Cornet PLUS is a medical device to detach and
®
remove bronchial secretions. The result is a reduction of
breathlessness and coughing in chronic respiratory disea-
ses such as:
1. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
2. Pulmonary emphysema
3. Cystic fibrosis
4. Smoker's cough
5. Asthma
6. Chronic bronchitis
7. Bronchiectasis
8. Diminished retraction force of the pulmonary tissue
Effectiveness of the RC-Cornet Therapy
®
• Widens airways to the pulmonary alveoli
• Reduces shortness of breath
• Removes irritating phlegm
• Prevents unproductive coughing
• Improves gas exchange
• Increases lung capacity
• Lowers airway resistance
• Reduces the number of hospital stays
and the need for antibiotics
The RC-Cornet PLUS can also be combined with a nebulizer
®
(combined therapy / nebulizer configuration - see pages 22
and 23).
Physiological effects
The RC-Cornet PLUS works through pressure variations
®
(oscillation) in the lower respiratory tract and widens it. It
detaches and liquefies bronchial mucus, making it easier to
remove it via coughing.
Contraindications
Presence of pneumothorax, blood-expectorating cough
(massive hemoptysis), and intracranial pressure symptoms
> 20 mm Hg.
The RC-Cornet PLUS should only be used after discussion
®
with the doctor treating you if the following are present:
• Severe cardiovascular disease
• Acute thrombosis
• Acute coughing up of blood (hemoptysis)
• Surgery or injury to the mouth, face, skull, or esophagus
