Will the new 425 bilevel be able to download to Silverlining Software and show events and AHI?

In addition to the way it works so well for me, I love the compact size of my Puritan Bennett 420E autopap. Does PB have any plans to add recording pulse oximetry capability to a future design?

Does the new 425 use the same motor as the other 420 series cpaps?

Is the 425 bilevel compatible with the Puritan Bennett Battery Pack.

How does the 425 bilevel turn on the upcomming integrated heated humidifier? Is there a seperate power switch to turn the humidifier on, or will it be controlled through the bilevel or cpap?

Will all earlier models of the 420 series work with the upcomming integrated heated humidifier?

Will this machine work on 110 and 220 volt? Is the plug for the wall the same as the other 420 machines?

Does PB have any plans for designing an autopap that can back off on each exhalation? Kind of like an autopap/bi-pap hybrid.

Will the new bilevel have ST mode capacity as the KnighStar 330 does?

Is this going to be the same size as the 420G?

1. The snuggle hose and the Orion CPAP cater to a niche that aims to make CPAPs less "medical" looking and more colorful. Is this an area PB will focus any attention on in future CPAP and BiPAP releases? Why or why not?

2. Does the 425 come in different colors?
