How does a flutter valve help with breathing?
A flutter valve helps to clear mucus from your lungs as well as make breathing easier and more comfortable. A flutter valve is a type of oscillatory Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) therapy that loosens secretions in the lungs and helps the patient to cough them up in order to clear the airways.
What are the different types of flutter valve devices?
There are several Acapella flutter valve devices that are available based on the patient’s expiratory flow: Acapella Green – The green model is more difficult. It is indicated for patients that can generate an expiratory flow of > 15 L/min.
Which is better Acapella green or blue flutter valve?
It is indicated for patients that can generate an expiratory flow of > 15 L/min. Acapella Blue – The blue model is less difficult and produces a lower amplitude of vibrations compared to Acapella Green or Acapella Choice. Acapella blue is indicated for patients that can generate an expiratory flow of < 15 L/min.
Which is better Acapella flutter device or nebulizer?
Acapella flutter device has the option of adjusting the flow pressure and frequency of the oscillations for each individual patient and may be used with a mouthpiece or mask or with a nebulizer in-situ. Compared to the Flutter valve device, the Acapella valve device produces more effective oscillations at lower airflows and a wider range of PEP.

How is turbo flutter prevented in a car?
One way turbo flutter is prevented is through the use of a blowoff valve. Sometimes called an anti-surge or diverter valve, this device is installed into the intercooler piping between the turbocharger outlet and engine throttle body.
Why does my BOV make a fluttering sound?
Turbo flutter which is caused by the opposite of venting air, not venting, causing trapped boosted air to rush back past the turbo making a fluttering sound, can technically accelerate wear, but only in high boost… Last edited by fauxpas; 10-07-2010, 01:51 PM . what does dual port BOV mean?
