   Never heard of them...will watch and see what turns up.
   
   
   Is this a "hard exam question?"

   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
