Evaluation of the Safety of the Medical Device Simeox®

Prospective Trial for the Evaluation of Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of the Medical Device Simeox ® Compared to Traditional Respiratory Physiotherapy Techniques for Airway Secretion Clearance

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the medical device "simeox" is safe in the treatment of respiratory diseases, in comparison with traditional physiotherapy.

• FVC and / or FEV <85% predicted, with stable lung function.
• Agreement to participate to the study and signature of the informed consent form
• Social security coverage.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patient infected with bacteria resistant to antibiotics.
• Bronchial clearance is not usually productive.
• Patient with contra-indication for physiotherapy bronchial clearance.
• Patient who received a lung transplant.
