About this trial
The study will examine how the performance of Oscillating Lung Expansion (OLE) therapy affects the respiratory health of patients with Bronchiectasis (BE).
The patient will use the BiWaze Clear system for their airway clearance therapy, instead of their previously prescribed therapy. BiWaze Clear is an FDA-cleared respiratory therapy for assisting patients in loosening and mobilizing secretions as well as treating and preventing atelectasis by providing lung expansion and high-frequency oscillation therapies, combined with aerosol delivery.
The patient will perform airway clearance with BiWaze Clear as prescribed. The system uses a disposable breathing circuit, which is a single patient use, disposable circuit.
The treatment duration is 6 months . The BiWaze Clear System is indicated for the mobilization of secretions, lung expansion therapy, the treatment and prevention of pulmonary atelectasis and has the ability to provide supplemental oxygen when used with an oxygen supply.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Evaluate the effectiveness of BiWaze Clear therapy in reducing the frequency of pulmonary exacerbations and improving clinical outcomes.
Quantify the frequency of pulmonary exacerbations over a 6-month period during BiWaze Clear therapy and compare this data to the number of exacerbations recorded in the 12 months prior to the initiation of therapy.
