SYNCLARA Cough System

Volara System: OLE therapy for home care being utilized in the living room by a young woman

Helps patients cough to clear mucus

This device mechanically produces coughs for patients with weak, ineffective coughs, helping clear mucus from upper airways. Patient-centric features that allow clinicians to customize therapy and help provide patients with comfort—along with the service and support Baxter is known for—makes it a complete cough-assist solution, in-hospital or at home.

Take a quick tour of the Synclara Cough System, a non-invasive airway clearance device for effective cough therapy.

Why coughing is important to patients’ health.

While people may think of coughing as a nuisance, it plays a vital role in keeping upper airways clear, so lungs can function properly without developing dangerous infections.1 That’s why it’s important to help people simulate a cough if they have a condition that makes it difficult.

That’s where the SYNCLARA Cough System comes in. It simulates a cough with gentle, non-invasive mechanical suction using Mechanical Insufflation/Exsufflation (MIE) technology. During a cough session, swift changes in air pressure mimic the body’s natural cough response to loosen and remove mucus from airways, helping patients breathe easy and reducing the risk of infection.1

Who could benefit?

The Synclara Cough System is designed to help pediatric and adult patients who need medical assistance to cough effectively—due to diaphragm weakness, respiratory weakness, or a weak or ineffective cough caused by respiratory conditions or neuromuscular disorders. This non-invasive therapy provides a potential alternative to invasive suctioning.

How it’s used.

For home use, Baxter licensed clinical professionals train patients and/or caregivers on how to use the Synclara Cough System and will program a cough schedule that suits the individual care plan. Once programmed, patients can start treatment with the push of a button from the comfort of home. 

Its features include: 

  • Trackable usage via the Smart-Filter attachment 
  • Easy programming with the intuitive control unit 
  • Rechargeable battery or plug-in use 
  • Customizable pressure for individual patient needs

How it provides programmable, adaptable patient care.

The Synclara Cough System uses a combination of Patient Synchrony and PAP on Pause. It applies positive insufflatory pressure to inflate airways, and then rapidly shifts to negative exsufflatory pressure to simulate a cough. A simple touchscreen, online videos, and a complete instruction manual makes programming a customized therapy session easy for healthcare providers.
