b1494Respironic Espri
Is anybody experiencing this vent rebooting itself without any alarms? It takes about 30 seconds to return to patient ventilation.

JonKayeI don't know about that problem, but the Esprit is under a recall since 6/08/01 for some other problem. Perhaps there is a relationship?
Here is the FDA notice (updated as late as 7/10/03, they say):
FDA (CDRH) Recall NoticeI would have imagined that the recall would have been completed by now, but perhaps you can get more info from Respironics regarding the relevance to your issues.
[*** UPDATE: 7/31 **
According to the FDA report, the firm initiated recall of the ESPRIT Model V1000 was completed 7/10/03, so your problem is not related to that]
