Electromed, Inc. announced it has entered into a distribution agreement with Marathon Medical Corp., a medical supply distribution company and service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB). SmartVest® Airway Clearance System, which is designed for High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (?HFCWO?) therapy, a clinically proven therapy that helps clear the lungs of excess secretions, thereby reducing the risk of respiratory infections and hospitalizations for those suffering from a chronic lung condition.1 As a distribution partner, Marathon Medical focuses on providing medical products to Federal agencies including VA hospitals and clinics, Indian Health Service hospitals and clinics, and other Federal agencies. The SmartVest Clearway system uses HFCWO to deliver alternating pulses of air into a vest garment that rapidly compresses and releases the chest wall, resulting in an oscillation in airflow within the airways that acts to loosen, thin, and propel mucus toward the major airways where it can be expectorated.
The SmartVest Clearway system is indicated for use in patients managing non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB) and other chronic pulmonary conditions.
Electromed, Inc. develops, manufactures, markets and sells products that provide airway clearance therapy, including the SmartVest Airway Clearance System, to patients with compromised pulmonary function. The Company applies High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (HFCWO) technologies in pulmonary care for patients of all ages. The SmartVest Clearway System consists of an inflatable therapy garment, a programmable air pulse generator and a patented single-hose that delivers air pulses from the generator to the garment to create oscillatory pressure on the chest wall. Its SmartVest Connect wireless technology is a personalized HFCWO therapy management portal for patients with compromised pulmonary function. The SmartVest Connect app securely connects to the SmartVest System through Bluetooth technology. The Company also markets the Single Patient Use (SPU) SmartVest and SmartVest Wrap to health care providers in the acute care setting.
