Dear Roncron, please do let me know if you are able to receive any reply and the best source from which one could buy the 7500 model. It is surprizing, that the website of spomedical, one of the eminent companies, should not be able to guide the patients, or, we are not able to hit the proper addres...

1 I had a similar problem when flippings (an excellent term used by DSM) were very fast and the machine was bumping from IPAP to EPAP before my inhalation or exchalation was complete.
