I looked at the different websites for vest companies and the Respirtech looked huge! Do they make a more portable model? I know with respirtech, it automatically changes the frequencies, so you don't have to manually set it up. The Smartvest looks interesting -- portable, comes with a wheeled case, plus it looks like the vest itself is smaller -- doesn't cover the stomach area -- DS's stomach is kinda sensitive.

That's what we have, BCBS of ND. Keep your fingers crossed - I am so hoping Abby will be able to get this new model.

I have the new, small, quite portable vest and it's so nice. The old HUGE one was obnoxious and the long vest actually hurt my back while I was using it. Signing up for the new one gave me the option to have a 'short' vest that covers only my rib cage which is nice, and not my whole torso. I have the machine tucked under a table in the living room and pull it out when we're watching tv. It's much nicer and more comfortable for me than the old one.
What other PT options does everyone use?

I've never heard of the vest in Canada. If it is available, it must be a new thing or not readibly available to the adult patients? I haven't found any info on the vest in Canada yet.

We just tried the medpulse brand for 30 days, then had the Hill-Rom (The Vest) guy come out and bring his new model 103 had it about a week -- I had no idea there was a 3rd company -- Respirtech --
So now I want to know what we are missing? Should we try out the Respirtech before purchasing the Vest by Hill Rom?
The tubes coming off has happened a couple of times, but the the portability and carrying case is better with the Vest over the medpulse.
Has anyone used both the Vest and Respirtech and could say which is better and why? Also how much does the new Respirtech unit weigh?</end quote></div>
