I use the PLV-100. When I'm being suctioned someone can put a "plug" (we
use fortlite adaptors from et tubes) in the swivel adptor to silence the
alarm. That doesn't work on the LP-6, you have to listen to the alarm the
whole time unless you turn it off. The 15 sec alarm silence button is not
that convent.

I used the LP-6 for 1 day and didn't like it, besides the problem with the
alarms it's lounder than the PLV-100. Sounded like Darth Vader was behind
me the whole day!
