​QIJIA Cough Assist Device: How Advanced Non-Invasive Technologies are Redefining Airway Clearance
Publisher: 管理员 Release time: 2025-12-20 Number of views: 1

For patients with difficulty coughing effectively and sputum excretion, each breath can be considered an ordeal. Conventional sputum suction techniques can be quite traumatic and unpleasant for the patient without effectively addressing the demand for secure and efficient airway suction. Now, with innovative and leading respiratory care products like QIJIA, the latest non-invasive vacuum sputum aspirator with MIE technology and OLE oscillation devices represents a paradigmatic shift in airway suction systems.


MIE Technology

The Core Principle: How QIJIA’s Airway Clearance System Functions

The key to the sputum removal device from QIJIA is the MIE technology for sputum (Mechanical Insufflation-Exsufflation technology). The MIE technology is an innovation that replicates the process of cough expulsion in a non-invasive way. The process involves:
  • Positive pressure air delivered into the lungs to inflate the lungs and alveoli. The goal is to dislodge the sputum accumulated in the deep airways.

  • Expiratory phase involves the use of quick-switched negative pressure in creating fast air flow in the lungs. The fast air flow from the deep airways moves the sputum to the large airways and eventually to the throat for easy suction.

In addition, the airway clearance system of QIJIA is complemented by the OLE oscillation equipment (Oscillation and Lung Expansion equipment), which improves the efficiency of removing sticky and pathogenic sputum. The OLE oscillation equipment can produce continuous positive pressure pulses in a high frequency in both the inspiration and expiration phases, creating a pressure difference in the airways. The pressure pulses can:
  • Remove sticky sputum from the airways.

  • Thin the mucus.

  • Facilitate the expectoration of mucus into the bigger airways through the assistance of MIE technology.


The History of Technology Development in Airway Clearance

The history of technology development for airway clearance is quite extensive:
  • Past Century: The only method was chest percussion, which was exhaustive and inefficient.

  • 1980s: Birth of the first high-frequency chest wall oscillation machine, marking a turning point.

  • Modern Trend: The innovation of MIE technology continues, with a trend towards non-invasive sputum remover products becoming increasingly prominent.

QIJIA's Role: QIJIA has been devoted to this industry for many years, inheriting the strengths of traditional MIE technology and upgrading them through OLE oscillation technology. By optimizing the design of their products continuously, QIJIA has minimized the volume and weight of their products by almost 70% compared with their early versions, making home respiratory therapy possible. Currently, their cough assist device has gained international accreditation in ISO 13485 and CE.

Treatment Methods: Personalized and Efficient Airway Clearance Techniques

The QIJIA cough assist machine offers multiple personalized modes of treatment:
  • Manual Mode: Patients can be ventilated using mechanical switches, lessening man-machine conflict and discomfort.

  • Automatic Mode: For extended treatment, assists in saving 6 groups of program treatment cycles. The medical team verifies the amount of sputum excreted post-treatment.

Advanced Features in the equipment also incorporate:
  • Respiratory Triggering: Detects spontaneous breathing and adjusts the treatment rhythm accordingly for better biocompatibility.

  • Observation of Cough Peak Flow & Blood Oxygen: Ensures treatment safety.

  • Data Storage: Capable of storing patient information in up to 10 sets per treatment session to provide scientific evidence for long-term treatments.

The entire process is non-invasive, taking only 3 to 5 minutes per session.

Indications and Target Groups: Who Can Benefit?

The QIJIA airway clearance device can be used on various patients with sputum excretion difficulty.
1. Patients with Restrictive Lung Diseases:
  • ALS, Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), Poliomyelitis Sequelae (SMA)

  • Multiple Sclerosis, Chest Wall Damage, Spinal Cord Injuries

  • Postoperative Patients

2. Patients with Diseases of Lungs and Bronchus:
  • COPD, Atelectasis, Lung Infection

  • Tracheotomy Patients, Bronchiectasis, Bronchitis
    (It removes airway secretions and eases lung functions.)

3. Other Groups:
  • Pediatric Pneumonia, the Elderly and Ill, Chronic Bedridden Patients

  • Occupational Lung Disease Sufferers

For patients with neuro-muscular diseases who are incapable of expectorating on their own or possess a peak flow of less than 160L/min (invalid cough), the device can greatly upgrade their peak flow, enabling effective sputum expulsion and avoiding complications like atelectasis or pneumonia.
Whether in hospital, rehabilitation, or at home, the QIJIA sputum removal device can prove helpful.

Conclusion: QIJIA’s Focus On Respiratory Health

QIJIA's cough assist is a cutting-edge non-invasive sputum suction apparatus that combines MIE sputum and OLE oscillator technology, ushering in a new era for patients challenged with sputum expectoration. Through its non-invasive, efficient, and tailored treatment approaches, it has removed the dilemmas faced by conventional methods, significantly enhancing patients' lifestyles.
Moving forward, QIJIA will continue its philosophy focused on innovation through technology and prioritizing patients, developing more high-quality airway clearance tools for the promotion of healthy respiration across the globe.
