John in VT Check-In 01/20/2026
I’m doing pretty good a break from mucus noises and cough. I’m dealing with respritech for the what everyone in my hose calls the shaky vest. Have any one dealt with Respritech a Phillips company. Advice welcome.

Hi John. I know Philips has had a lot of success with their Incourage vest here in the states. Most of their other respiratory products (CPAP, etc) have moved overseas. They do have a helpline that is available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT, Monday-Friday at 800.793.1261. They should be able to help you troubleshoot. If not, the DME company that supplied your vest or your doctor should be your next call.
I am glad that you are getting a break from ongoing mucus and coughing. I like your term “shaky vest”. I used to refer to my vest as my “ rocket ship vest” , to my young daughter at that time since it vibrated so loudly. I hope you get the assistance you seek- I have not dealt w Respritech
I love ❤ your 🐕 dog!
Hi John,
I have had the Philips Incourage vest for seven years. I am happy to talk to you about it. You can call me on the BNTM information line at 833-411-5864.
