THE VOCSN is truly a wonderful ventilator!!! I am suppose to be receiving a VOCSN this week. I HOPE I DO!!! I am a tracheostomy and ventilator dependent patient, and I use Ventilation, Oxygen, Cough Assist, Suction, and Nebulizer Therapy. I was told by the DME that my VOCSN should at their office this week!! I HOPE IT IS, and I HOPE my Respiratory Therapist will make time to bring it ASAP, and I hope that's THIS WEEK! Carrying five machinespieces of equipment where I go, plus much more equipment, IT IS NOT EASY!!! It's a train wreck packing me to go anywhere!!!
