Settings for afflo vest (and a bit of grumbling)
I have hil rom mine i set on 14 for 20 min 2 times a day. Do not know if they have settings the same. I was told by a copd rep at the hospital in Sept for me to do levelalbuterol is generic xopenex then hypertonic 7% saline then do the vest. It does work. Before was just doing brovana but now I do that after the vest followed by spiriva then budesonide and Flovent is my schedule. Yup alot of meds.

Glenys,
The vest certainly helped me when I needed it in the past. I couldn’t do the vest and nebulizer at the same time. I used to check emails or read something while I was doing the vest. We are glad that you are back in our community.
