OLE Therapy with The MetaNeb® System
Control Group
Subjects in the active treatment group will receive OLE therapy with The MetaNeb® System following the labeled instructions for the device.
The airway clearance regimen for subjects in the control group will be collected from the medical record.This information will be retrospectively collected from patients treated with standard care with no OLE therapy. Subjects in the control group will be identified from the population of patients previously admitted to the two study sites with COVID-19 infection who required invasive mechanical ventilation but were not treated with OLE therapy.
