Are the Impact Uni-Vent and the LP6 IPP (Intermittent Positive Pressure) or
something else?

Also - those of you using the PLV-100, how did you come to be using IPP
rather than CPAP, BiPaP, or negative pressure? [I personally use the PLV-100,
after starting with negative pressure, and then being told CPAP and BiPaP
were not appropriate for my needs.] I'm just very curious about experiences
of making a choice, as many stories told on these lists indicate to me that
the therapists may not always be as knowledgeable as they should be, or might
be pushing a particular product; or that the user may not understand the
reason for which the vent was prescribed.
