Yesterday my RT from from the local oxygen and Trilogy supplier, went to exchange a refurbished Trilogy 100 for mine. Mine has over the number of hours before overall.
After the " new ventilator" was fastened to the back of my wheelchair and the settings were being input to match mine, I asked " Harvey, is the odor of stale cigarettes, the ventilator or you?" Joyce pulled the hose off my mask and up to her nose and yuck, and let Harvey smell. He was apologetic, explaining that the Trilogy's and other ventilators are grouped into smoking and non-smoking.
Took hours after Harvey left with the filthy smelling Trilogy before the stench left my sinuses. :-(
