Re: Sher's concentrator

[Guest guest]

Sher

Visionaire is made by Airsep.

http://www.airsep.com/medical/visionaire.html

It is one of the lightest concentrators available, weighing only 30

pounds. Its noise is 40 dba. And, its power consumption is only 290

Watts.

This is compared to the typical Invacare weighing around 50 pounds, 50

dba and consuming 440 Watts.
