Does anybody have a sip and puff ventilator mounted on their wheelchair? If so, what manufacturer? I had found a youtube video of an ALS patient using a Respironics trilogy 100 unit. I forwarded to my neuro, but apparently Respironics had a big FDA recall in 1/12, so that unit is not available. Anyone know of a different model and manufacturer?
 
Just FYI... It was not a big recall, only 52 units. I got a Trilogy 100 just this February.
 
Really? That's great.
How are you using it and how is it working for you?

I'm trying to use it in Bipap mode using a face mask. I'm having a very hard time getting used to it, but I attribute it all to me... nothing wrong with the vent from what I notice.

I'm sure if you called a dme provider for vents they could confirm availability.
