Abstract Background Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure (OPEP) devices are important adjuncts to airway clearance therapy in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Current devices are typically reusable and require daily, or often more frequent, cleaning to prevent risk of infection by acting as reservoirs of potentially pathogenic organisms. In response, a daily disposable OPEP device, the UL-OPEP, was developed to mitigate the risk of contamination and eliminate the burdensome need for cleaning devices. Methods A convenience sample of 36 participants, all current OPEP device users, was recruited from a paediatric CF service. For one month, participants replaced their current OPEP device with a novel daily disposable device. Assessment included pre- and post-intervention lung function by spirometry, as well as Lung Clearance Index. Quality of life was assessed using the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire – Revised, while user experience was evaluated with a post-study survey. Results 31 participants completed the study: 18 males; median age 10 years, range 4–16 years. Lung function (mean difference ± SD, %FEV1 = 1.69 ± 11.93; %FVC = 0.58 ± 10.04; FEV1: FVC = 0.01 ± 0.09), LCI (mean difference ± SD, 0.08 ± 1.13), six-minute walk test, and CFQ-R were unchanged post-intervention. Participant-reported experiences of the device were predominantly positive. Conclusions The disposable OPEP device maintained patients’ lung function during short term use (≤ 1 month), and was the subject of positive feedback regarding functionality while reducing the risk of airway contamination associated with ineffective cleaning. Registration The study was approved as a Clinical Investigation by the Irish Health Products Regulatory Authority (CRN-2209025-CI0085).

Otitis media is the most common bacterial illness in children, resulting in millions of office visits, antibiotic prescriptions, and surgical procedures annually in the United States. Antibiotics are commonly prescribed and has resulted in increased prevalence of antibiotic resistant strains of organisms. Additionally, patients with otitis media are candidates for tympanocentesis, myringotomy, and tympanostomy tube placement procedures. The ability to safely and efficiently perform these procedures to accurately diagnose, identify the bacterial organism, and treat otitis media with point of care therapy is needed. A shape-memory nitinol tympanostomy tube and an all-in-one introducer device (OtoStent tympanostomy device) currently under development will allow clinicians to safely and efficiently perform myringotomy, tympanocentesis, and tympanostomy tube placement with a single disposable device.
