Active Comparator
PIAPD-Portable Internal Airway Percussion device
SACD-Standard Airway Clearance device
There will be an Inpatient Arm and Outpatient Arm using the Smart One® portable home spirometer
There will be an Inpatient Arm and Outpatient Arm using the SACD. A large majority of patients will be using VEST therapy as their standard of care airway clearance. A few might be using an Intrapulmonary Percussion Device that uses a mechanism different from the device the study will be testing.
