Originally posted by btrdaddy: 180 lpm has nothing to do with response time. I have a friend that works in Syracuse who has both the Vela and Servo.

Seems to be a common occurance
I would like to correspond with your friend. We are looking to purchase new vents. It's come down to the Avea and the Servo i. I am partial to i's because I have used them for a few years. I would like feedback on the Avea.

afant, I have experience with both the servo-i and the avea (as well as a few other ventilators). I would be more than happy to share my experiences with you. Feel free to e-mail me at RT_Yogi@yahoo.com
