The DHD TheraPEP is intended for use as a Positive Expiratory Pressure Device for patients suffering from Cystic Fibrosis, lung diseases with secretory problems, and to prevent or reverse atelectasis.
Device Story
TheraPEP is a single-patient-use respiratory therapy device; consists of resistor, pressure range indicator, pressure port adapter, and mouthpiece or mask. Operates by providing positive expiratory pressure to patient airways. Used in clinical or home settings to assist in airway clearance and lung expansion. Healthcare provider or patient uses device to facilitate secretion removal and prevent/reverse atelectasis. Output is controlled expiratory resistance; optional pressure monitoring via port adapter allows tracking of therapy performance.
Clinical Evidence
No new clinical testing performed. Evidence relies on reference documents/literature supporting the efficacy of PEP therapy for the prevention and reversal of atelectasis.
Technological Characteristics
Single-patient-use respiratory device; includes resistor, pressure range indicator, pressure port adapter, and mouthpiece/mask interface. Mechanical operation; no energy source required. ISO 9001 certified manufacturing.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with Cystic Fibrosis, lung diseases with secretory problems, and for the prevention or reversal of atelectasis.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An incentive spirometer is a device that indicates a patient's breathing volume or flow and that provides an incentive to the patient to improve his or her ventilation.

2. Device Name
- Trade Name - TheraPEP®
- Common name - Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) device
- Classification name - Incentive Spirometer - 868.5690
3. Predicate Device: DHD TheraPEP (addition to claims only).
4. Device Description
The DHD TheraPEP is a single-patient-use Respiratory Therapy device. The standard system consists of a resistor, pressure range indicator, pressure port adapter, and mouthpiece. The mask may be substituted for the mouthpiece. Pressure monitoring is optional, and the pressure port adapter is removable.
5. Intended Use
The DHD TheraPEP is intended for use as a Positive Expiratory Pressure Device for patients suffering from Cystic Fibrosis, lung diseases with secretory problems, and to prevent or reverse atelectasis. (Note that added claims are indicated in italics.)
6. Technological Information
No technological changes - submission is only to add claim.
7. Summary of Studies
The clinical data (reference documents) supporting the added claims show that PEP therapy is effective for prevention and reversal of atelectasis.
8. Conclusions Drawn from Studies
The added indication (to prevent or reverse atelectasis) for PEP therapy will not adversely affect the safety and effectiveness of the TheraPEP device when utilized for this application as TheraPEP is approved for PEP therapy.
