Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hi Joyce who makes your high flow cannulas and model #. Mine are some what noisee. Always looking for something better PJoyce wrote: Gwynne, The respiratory therapist that introduced me to the oxymizer told me not to use the humidifier bottle with it. You are also not to use it in the shower. I use it when I use my portables so they will last longer. I can turn them on 8L and still get 10.5L. I am so spoiled to my high flow cannulas (because they are so quiet) that I almost always use them at home. Oh, I would like a Chulupa, too! Now, I am going to be hungry all day!
