Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (confirmed by genotype or a sweat sodium concentration of
>70mmol/l or sweat chloride of >60mmol/l)

- Sixteen years of age or over

- Patients admitted to the Royal Brompton Hospital with a pulmonary exacerbation of
which is resolving. Patients will be considered for inclusion from day 7 of treatment
to 3 days prior to discharge (as determined by a member of the cystic fibrosis medical
team and have spirometric values within 20% of the mean of the last two stable
recordings (at least 1 month apart)

- Patients with an established airway clearance regime that they have used for 3 months
or more

Exclusion Criteria:

- Current moderate haemoptysis (greater than streaking in the sputum)

- Current pneumothorax or history of pneumothorax in the 3 months prior to consideration
for the study

- Current dependency on positive pressure support with airway clearance via the IPPB
(Intermittent Positive Pressure Breathing) machine or NIV

- Previous history of spontaneous rib fractures

- Pregnancy

- Inability to give consent for treatment or measurement

- Current participation in another study

- If the patient requires more than 2 airway clearance sessions a day
