The treatment protocol used for Respiratory Care during the CHANGE IN PRACTICE period of the Study will be that prescribed by the patient's health care team in the routine standard care of each patient. With the exception of standard airway clearance and lung expansion procedures, other components of the patients respiratory care regimen will remain the same as during the standard therapy period, however the CHANGE IN PRACTICE will incorporate the use/treatment with The MetaNeb® System as an alternative to usual airway clearance and lung expansion procedures.
