automatically diminishes.

you become used to breathing out through the RC-Cornet
PLUS, take deeper breaths and exhale after a brief pause
all of the air through the RC-Cornet
exhalation phase should take at least 3-4 times longer than
inhalation. TIP: Use your free hand to press your cheeks

In addition to the settings described under II, 4 different levels
of resistance can be selected for each setting. This allows an
individual patient suitable training by choosing the right level
of resistance (outlet pressure). Start with level A and increase
the levels for each condition. Set the levels by turning the
body against the adapter. Please verify the therapy with your
healthcare professional.

If you feel like phlegm is in or blocking your air passages, try
to exhale as long as you can through RC-Cornet PLUS and
to suppress coughing. If you still need to cough, try to huff
up phlegm. Imagine you want to fog up a pane of glass or a
mirror. By exhaling this way (medical term "huffing"), you can
better expel mucus from the bronchial airways. Please do not
cough or expel phlegm into the device.
