EO-70 Cough Assist Machine for Airway Clearance
A cough assist machine (also known as a mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MIE) device or airway clearance device) supports people with weakened cough strength by helping remove respiratory secretions.
These devices are commonly used for people with neuromuscular disorders, spinal cord injuries, chronic respiratory conditions and during post-operative recovery.
The EO-70 Cough Assist from Air Liquide Medical Systems combines cough assist therapy with Intermittent Positive Pressure Breathing (IPPB), making it a versatile airway clearance solution for hospitals, rehabilitation centres and home care.
The EO-70 is part of InterMed’s range of respiratory physiotherapy devices designed to support airway clearance, lung expansion and respiratory care across clinical settings.

What is a cough assist machine?
A cough assist machine is a medical airway clearance device that helps patients clear respiratory secretions by applying alternating positive and negative air pressure to simulate a natural cough. It is commonly used for people with neuromuscular disorders, weakened respiratory muscles and impaired cough strength.
What is the EO-70 cough assist machine used for?
The EO-70 cough assist machine is used for airway clearance therapy in patients with reduced cough effectiveness due to respiratory, neuromuscular or post-surgical conditions.
How does a cough assist machine work?
A cough assist machine works by using alternating positive and negative pressure to simulate a natural cough. This helps assist with airway clearance by supporting the removal of respiratory secretions when a patient has reduced cough effectiveness.
What is mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MIE)?
Mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MIE) is an airway clearance therapy that uses alternating positive and negative pressure to simulate a natural cough and assist with the removal of respiratory secretions.
Is the EO-70 just an airway clearance machine?
No. The EO-70 is a cough assist device and airway clearance solution that offers both In-Exsufflation (INEX) and Intermittent Positive Pressure Breathing (IPPB) therapies.
Who can benefit from a cough assist device like the EO-70?
The EO-70 cough assist device is designed to support patients who have difficulty clearing respiratory secretions and require assisted airway clearance under clinical guidance.
It is commonly used for patients with:
- Spinal cord injury
- Neuromuscular conditions
- ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)
- Muscular dystrophy
- Chronic respiratory illnesses
Can the EO-70 cough assist machine be used at home?
Yes. The EO-70 cough assist machine is designed for both clinical and home use when prescribed or recommended by a healthcare professional.
With a convenient carry case and a powerful internal battery, the EO-70 can provide multiple treatment sessions while travelling, at home or at school.
What is IPPB?
IPPB, or Intermittent Positive Pressure Breathing, is used to augment lung expansion and deliver aerosol medication, particularly for patients with respiratory conditions who struggle to breathe effectively.
How is therapy data managed on the EO-70?
Therapy data from the EO-70 cough assist machine can be viewed on the device screen in real time, including pressure and flow waveforms. Historical patient data and usage compliance can be analysed via Clinical Software.
Does the EO-70 cough assist machine need to be set up by a clinician?
Yes. The EO-70 cough assist machine must be set up and configured by a trained healthcare professional, such as a physiotherapist, to ensure therapy settings are appropriate and safe for the patient.
Once set up, it may be used in clinical or home settings as directed.
