Frequently Asked Questions
What is Kan-Breathe?
Kan-Breathe is a reusable OPEP breathing device designed to help loosen mucus in the airways and support easier airway clearance. As you breathe out through the device, it creates gentle pressure and vibrations that may help move mucus so it can be cleared more comfortably. It can also be used as a lung exerciser and breathing trainer to support breathing control and lung conditioning.
How does Kan-Breathe work?
Kan-Breathe works using Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure (OPEP). When you exhale through the device, it creates gentle resistance and vibrations in the airways. This may help loosen mucus from the airway walls, support mucus movement, and encourage a clearer, more comfortable breathing experience.
What does OPEP mean?
OPEP stands for Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure. It is a breathing technique that combines resistance and vibration during exhalation to help support mucus movement and breathing control. Kan-Breathe uses this same OPEP mechanism seen in similar devices such as Flutter and AirPhysio.
Is Kan-Breathe only for mucus clearance?
No. While Kan-Breathe is designed to help support mucus clearance, it can also be used as a lung exerciser and breathing trainer. Because it encourages controlled exhalation against resistance, it may also help support breathing control, lung conditioning, and the overall quality of your breathing over time.
Can children use Kan-Breathe?
Yes, Kan-Breathe may be used by children aged 7 years and over, but children aged 7 to 12 years should use the device under adult supervision. The smaller ball bearing may be more suitable for some younger users or those with lower lung capacity initially.
Can Kan-Breathe be used by seniors?
Yes, Kan-Breathe may be used by seniors. As we age, lung capacity and breathing strength can naturally decline, which may make it harder to clear mucus effectively or maintain strong, controlled breathing. A device like Kan-Breathe may help support breathing management and lung conditioning as part of a regular routine.
it is generally best to start slowly and use the small ball bearing first. As comfort, strength, and confidence improve, some users may then progress to the large ball bearing over time. If there is any uncertainty about suitability or correct use, it is best to seek advice from a healthcare professional before use.
For seniors wanting practical day-to-day breathing support, Kan-Breathe can be a simpler, lower-investment option compared with more premium devices such as AirPhysio.
Why does Kan-Breathe come with two steel ball bearings?
Every PEP device comes equipped with two Stainless Steel Ball Bearings, so that you can adjust to Minimal or Maximum Positive Pressure depending on your lung capacity, age, and current health.
How often should Kan-Breathe be used?
General guidance suggests Kan-Breathe may be used twice a day, usually once in the morning and once in the evening. The length and frequency of use can vary depending on the individual, their comfort, and their breathing needs. Always follow the instructions supplied with the product.
How do I know if I am using Kan-Breathe correctly?
When using Kan-Breathe correctly, you should feel a noticeable vibration in your chest as you exhale. It is also important to keep your cheeks firm and avoid letting them bulge during exhalation, as this helps create the correct Positive Expiratory Pressure.
Does Kan-Breathe require batteries, power, or refills?
No. Kan-Breathe does not require batteries, charging, refills, or ongoing consumables. It is a reusable breathing device designed for simple ongoing use.
Is Kan-Breathe ARTG listed?
Yes. Kan-Breathe is included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG No. 391310) as an Included Class 1 medical device.
Should I stop my medication if I use Kan-Breathe?
No. Kan-Breathe should not replace prescribed treatment, and you should not stop or change any medication unless advised by your doctor or healthcare professional.
What if Kan-Breathe does not seem to help?
Results may vary from person to person. If you do not notice improvement, if symptoms worsen, or if you are unsure whether the device is being used correctly, you should consult your doctor or healthcare professional. In some cases, lack of improvement may relate to incorrect use or an underlying condition that needs professional assessment.
