dear all has anyone achieved ecs control of a NIPPV ventilator? As far as I can tell, just switching the mains initiates "mains fail" alarms. I now have three people who would like to control it so they can drink, cough etc. Would there be enough demand to persuade this small manufacturer to add a remote input to his machine?
