      The study was a non-randomized open label pilot study. It was an observational design&#xD;
      conducted at one (1) site in the US. All enrolled subjects received treatment with the&#xD;
      MN4000.&#xD;
&#xD;
      This pilot study evaluated subject satisfaction with the therapy and adherence to the therapy&#xD;
      during the 90-day treatment period, and also collected clinical outcome data. Outcomes were&#xD;
      assessed before, during and after the MN4000 treatment period. The study did not include a&#xD;
      control group. This pilot study was designed to provide initial information that could inform&#xD;
      decisions for future larger-scale studies.&#xD;
&#xD;
      Ten (10) patients total were enrolled from CF and NMD clinics. Eligible subjects were adult&#xD;
      patients who were able to perform MN4000 therapy using a mouthpiece and who met all inclusion&#xD;
      and none of the exclusion criteria.&#xD;
&#xD;
      All patients received therapy with the MN4000 following the labeled instructions for the&#xD;
      device.&#xD;
&#xD;
      The MN4000 is an airway clearance and lung expansion therapy device that has been cleared to&#xD;
      market by the FDA as The MetaNeb® System for Homecare environment, for clearance of pulmonary&#xD;
      secretions and for treatment or prevention of pulmonary atelectasis. It is a Class II device,&#xD;
      cleared to market on March 17, 2016 under premarket notification 510(k) K151689 as The&#xD;
      MetaNeb® 4 System with application for homecare environment. It is commercially marketed as&#xD;
      the MN4000. The device consists of a pneumatic compressor and an air pulse generator that&#xD;
      delivers CHFO and CPEP to;&#xD;
&#xD;
        1. facilitate clearance of mucous from the lungs;&#xD;
&#xD;
        2. provide lung expansion therapy and;&#xD;
&#xD;
        3. enhance delivery of aerosol therapy.&#xD;
&#xD;
      This &quot;triple&quot; mode device can provide aerosol therapy while alternating between CPEP for lung&#xD;
      expansion and CHFO for airway clearance. Supplemental oxygen therapy may also be delivered&#xD;
      when used with compressed oxygen.&#xD;
&#xD;
      The MN4000 has three therapy modes:&#xD;
&#xD;
        -  CHFO (Continuous High Frequency Oscillation) - delivers aerosol therapy while providing&#xD;
           oscillating pressure pulses to the airway&#xD;
&#xD;
        -  CPEP (Continuous Positive Expiratory Pressure) - delivers aerosol therapy while&#xD;
           providing continuous positive pressure to help hold open and expand the airways&#xD;
&#xD;
        -  Aerosol - for delivery of aerosol only. In this mode, CHFO and CPEP are not available&#xD;
&#xD;
      After assessing baseline status, therapy with the MN4000 was introduced and incorporated into&#xD;
      the daily home respiratory care treatment regimen for all patients.&#xD;
&#xD;
      Other airway clearance and/or lung expansion therapies were not to be performed during the&#xD;
      three-month study period. The treatment regimen for other respiratory care modalities (e.g.&#xD;
      aerosolized medications) was that which was prescribed by the patient's health care team in&#xD;
      the routine standard care of each patient.&#xD;
&#xD;
      During the three-month follow-up period, adherence to the daily prescribed therapy regimen&#xD;
      was assessed. Subjects/caregivers were asked to provide adherence information for each day&#xD;
      during the 90-day study period.&#xD;
&#xD;
      Documentation of efficacy and safety Variables was completed by study staff at the time of&#xD;
      occurrence, from review of the patient's medical records and from scores and rankings for&#xD;
      questionnaires.&#xD;

      All patients received therapy with the MN4000 following the labeled instructions for the

      The MN4000 is an airway clearance and lung expansion therapy device that has been cleared to

      This "triple" mode device can provide aerosol therapy while alternating between CPEP for lung

      The MN4000 has three therapy modes:

        -  CHFO (Continuous High Frequency Oscillation) - delivers aerosol therapy while providing
           oscillating pressure pulses to the airway

        -  CPEP (Continuous Positive Expiratory Pressure) - delivers aerosol therapy while
           providing continuous positive pressure to help hold open and expand the airways

        -  Aerosol - for delivery of aerosol only. In this mode, CHFO and CPEP are not available

      After assessing baseline status, therapy with the MN4000 was introduced and incorporated into
      the daily home respiratory care treatment regimen for all patients.

      Other airway clearance and/or lung expansion therapies were not to be performed during the

      aerosolized medications) was that which was prescribed by the patient's health care team in
      the routine standard care of each patient.

      During the three-month follow-up period, adherence to the daily prescribed therapy regimen
      was assessed. Subjects/caregivers were asked to provide adherence information for each day
      during the 90-day study period.

      Documentation of efficacy and safety Variables was completed by study staff at the time of
      occurrence, from review of the patient's medical records and from scores and rankings for
      questionnaires.

It contains 10 distinct measures:
Speech
Salivation
Swallowing
Handwriting
Cutting food and handling utensils (with or without gastrostomy)
Dressing and hygiene
turning in bed and adjusting bed clothes
Walking
Breathing
Climbing stairs
These 10 parameters are scored on a scale of 0-4, based on the patients' ability to perform tasks. The minimum score is 0 and maximum 40.The higher the score the more function is retained.
measure: Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire - Revised (CFQ-R)
time frame: 90 days
description: CF patients only. The Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire (CFQ) is a disease-specific instrument that measures health-related quality of life (HRQOL) for adolescents and adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) > or = 14 years, consisting of 44 items on 12 generic and disease-specific scales. It offers 5 distinct 4-point Likert scales (e.g., always/often/ sometime/never). Scores for each HRQoL domain; after recoding, each item is summed to generate a domain score and standardized. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better health.
measure: Exacerbation of pulmonary disease
time frame: 90 days
description: Hospitalization and/or antibiotics for respiratory infection or complication. Exacerbations of pulmonary disease were defined as respiratory infections that resulted in requirement for hospitalization and/or antibiotics to treat the respiratory infection or complication. Hospitalizations that are part of routine care (e.g. hospital admissions for annual "tune-up") or antibiotics that are part of the regular treatment regimen were not documented as exacerbations. Occurence of exarcerbation related hospitalization OR the necessity of a prescription for antibiotics qualify as worsening disease.
measure: FEV1

description: The percentage of the FVC expired in one second Results are given in both raw data (litres, litres per second) and % predicted-the test result as a percent of the "predicted values" for the patients of similar characteristics. Results over 80% are considered normal.
measure: SVC
time frame: 90 days
description: Slow Vital Capacity displays the volume of gas measured on a complete expiration after a maximal inspiration without forced or rapid effort. Useful measurement when FVC is reduced and airway obstruction is present. educed SVC is associated with worsening respiratory disease
measure: SPO2
time frame: 90 days
description: SpO2 stands for peripheral capillary oxygen saturation, an estimate of the amount of oxygen in the blood. Low SPO2 is associated with worsening respiratory function.
measure: Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP)
time frame: 90 days
description: Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) is a measure of the strength of inspiratory muscles, primarily the diaphragm, and allows for the assessment of ventilatory failure, restrictive lung disease and respiratory muscle strength. Reduction in MIP is asociated with worsening neuromuscular status and poor ability to cough.
measure: PCF
time frame: 90 days
