With the AKITA device, patients no longer have to concentrate on the right breathing technique, because the device induces the optimum breathing pattern.
The AKITA takes over control of the inhalation and gives the patient status information on a display. The AKITA standardizes inhalation speed and volume, the period between breaths, and the number of breaths.
