Never heard of them...will watch and see what turns up.

Is this a "hard exam question?" :)

I have never heard of them either and will also read and learn by watching this thread.

I had an inservice on them...gosh more than a year ago??? The facility was supposed to be switching to them from the pleurovac systems that we currently still use....

Still haven't seen them....But I will say I remember that they were pretty nice....

The ease of setting them and was great!! NO pouring of water to this line or that

Still waiting for them though:)

Thanks for the link.... we're going to be using these A LOT on the clinical floor next semester, so trying to get more familiar with them.
