Frequently asked questions
Is the ICU Medical Portex Acapella system sterile?
No, the ICU Medical Portex Acapella® Vibratory PEP Therapy System is non-sterile.
What is the Acapella PEP system used for?
The ICU Medical Portex Acapella system is primarily used for airway clearance by delivering Vibratory Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) therapy. This technique helps patients mobilize and remove pulmonary secretions (mucus) to improve lung function. The therapy achieves this through a dual mechanism:
- Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP): Maintains open airways during exhalation, allowing air to get behind trapped secretions.
- Vibrations: The oscillatory action helps to loosen thick, sticky mucus from the airway walls, making it easier to cough out.
This combined approach makes secretion removal more efficient and effective.
How does the Acapella system clear airways?
The Acapella system effectively assists in airway clearance using Vibratory Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) Therapy.
This advanced technology combines two powerful mechanisms to mobilize pulmonary secretions:
- Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP): This helps to keep airways open (patent) during exhalation, allowing air to move behind trapped mucus.
- Vibrations/Oscillations: The device introduces mechanical vibrations that loosen and dislodge mucus from the bronchial walls, moving the secretions toward the larger airways where they can be more easily cleared.
What versatile configurations are available?
The Icu Medical Portex Acapella System is highly versatile, utilizing Vibratory Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) therapy and is offered in several specialized configurations, all supplied in Factory New condition.
Available configurations include:
- Stand-alone Mouthpieces: Options like the Choice, or the color-coded DH (Green) and DM (Blue) mouthpieces, suitable for various patient requirements.
- Complete Therapy Systems: These bundles include the Acapella device, a mouthpiece, and a mask, which is available in Large, Medium, or Pediatric sizes.
- Acapella Duet Kit: A comprehensive kit featuring the Acapella Duet device, mouthpiece, Portex SVN, oxygen tubing, and collapsible flex tubing.
What versatile Acapella therapy configurations are offered?
The Acapella Vibratory PEP Therapy System is offered in multiple factory-new, non-sterile configurations tailored for diverse patient and clinical needs.
Key configurations include:
- Stand-Alone Mouthpieces: Available as the Acapella Choice Mouthpiece (sold in cases of 50) or the color-coded options for potential differentiation:

- Complete Therapy Systems: These systems include the device and a mask, available in Large, Medium, or Pediatric sizes.
- Acapella Duet Kit: A comprehensive kit for integrated therapy, bundling the Acapella Duet device with a mouthpiece, a Portex SVN (Small Volume Nebulizer), oxygen tubing, and collapsible flex tubing.
What is the main function of this Acapella PEP system?
The primary function of the Acapella system is to facilitate airway clearance using Vibratory Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) therapy. This dual action helps patients breathe easier by effectively loosening and mobilizing secretions from the lungs.The system achieves this by:
- Applying Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) to maintain airway patency during breathing out.
- Utilizing vibratory oscillations to generate gentle movement that aids in dislodging sticky mucus, making it easier to transport and remove.
