Re: what kind of transport-ventilator do u use?

["Geoff Scott" <trirn@hotmail.com>]

We use the Impact Eagle transport vent.  Works well with the on-board oxygen 
and takes in ambient air for blending.  It is also quite light and has a 
good battery life.  Very easy to set up and keep running.  Hope this helps!
