I have used the PLV-100 for a couple of years and am now using the Puritan
Bennett Companion 2800. I like the 2800, it is quite. The only thing that
I do not like about it, is the fact that it does not show the breaths per
minute.

I would like to also know by others, what do they do about traveling? Do
you take two vents, have contacts in case of breakdown, etc. I traveled
this past week with my vent, but I was worried that it may break down. I
did have the medical company that supplies my vent check it out before I
left. But I still am a bit apprehensive about traveling. How do others
feel about it?

Thanks..\
