Dymedso FrequencerTM Technology Optimization

Dymedso公司多年来一直致力于研究和开发新的医疗技术，频率TM，以帮助受慢性呼吸道疾病（CRD）影响的患者，这些疾病与粘液纤毛清除缺陷有关，包括囊性纤维化（CF）和慢性支气管炎等。Dymedso公司生产的频率TM，是一种数字控制的声学气道清除床旁（POC）设备，通过在患者胸壁中诱导振动来促进支气管引流。与传统的“拍手法”或体位引流相比，FrequencerTM提供了一种更温和、更少痛苦的治疗方式。该设备的当前版本和旧版本已获得加拿大卫生部、FDA、ISO 13485：2003和北美、欧洲、澳大利亚和新西兰的UL认证。Dymedso计划推出一种新的声波发生治疗技术，以解决患者和护理人员在过去几年的临床实践中发现的一些问题。所确定的问题涉及人体工程学和性能限制。例如，当前版本的设备对于患者使用仍然是笨重的。因此，为了更实际和有效的使用，需要在尺寸、重量和整体性能方面优化装置。我们将仔细分析组成TheFrequencerTM的每个模块，包括声波发生器，换能器和通信系统，以提出改进建议。此外，将对新版本的不同类型的传感器和反馈接口进行研究，以提高该设备的有效性。

Dymedso Company has been working for several years in the research and development of new medicaltechnology, The FrequencerTM, to help patients affected by chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) related todefective mucociliary clearance including cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic bronchitis, among others.The FrequencerTM, manufactured by Dymedso Company, is a digitally controlled acoustic airway clearancepoint-of-care (POC) device that promotes bronchial drainage by inducing vibrations in the chest wall of thepatient. The FrequencerTM provides a gentler and less painful form of therapy than the traditional "clappingmethod" or postural drainage. The current and older versions of this device have received certifications fromHealth Canada, FDA, ISO 13485:2003, and UL for North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.Dymedso is planning to introduce a new technology of its sound-wave generation therapy that addresses someissues identified by patients and caregivers over the past years of use in clinical practice. The identified issuesinvolve ergonomic and performance limitations. For instance, the current version of the device is stillcumbersome for patient use. Thus, for more practical and effective use, the device needs to be optimized interms of size, weight, and overall performance. We will carefully analyze each of the modules composing TheFrequencerTM including the sound-wave generator, the transducer, and the communication system to proposeimprovements for each of them. In addition, different types of sensors and feedback interfaces will beinvestigated for the new version in order to improve the effectiveness of this device.
