The News From From Medtrade

Post by johnnygoodman » Thu Apr 07, 2005 11:17 pm

Howdy cpaptalkers,

We are back from Medtrade. Our Medtrade Spring CPAP newsletter will be out soon but in the mean time I wanted to let you guys know about some specific stuff you asked me to look into for you.

1. AEIOmed is aware of the XL and Small sizing issue and are working on making these sizes available. They are also pushing to get their 510(k) (Meaning FDA...) approved super small battery powered cpap unit out the door.

2. Customers have long been asking for color in their equipment. This demand has been even more pronounced in the various Call For Questions we've had. Well, Respironics got the message and has brought color to the CPAP landscape with their comfort curve. It will be shipped in blue but there will also be a color pack containing snap on strips in pink, gray, yellow and green. The color though, is a perk, it looks like Respironics really did their homework with this mask. I think those who give this mask a try early will be heading to the boards with a lot of positive things to say. We will see!

There's much more to relate but it's way past my bed time. I'm glad to be back in internets reach with you cpaptalkers!

Johnny

Johnny,

Did you try it on? Did the hoses pull on the nose piece?

Did you bring home a truckload of S8s?

Where you able sit the S8 and the Aeiomed machine on a table side by side? How do they compare in size?

Please let us know on the forum (and I know you will) when this new "stuff" is added to the cpap.com site.
Sincerely,
