[edit] ventilator vs. respirator

Do not confuse ventilator with respirator. A respirator is a device worn to protect someone from harmful gases, fumes, or dusts in the air. A ventilator is the device that provides assisted breathing. To be clear, I've changed 'respirator' to 'ventilator' in this article except for the patented name. ddlamb 08:47, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

• Thank you for your clarification. I'm glad to see you have taken up the task of repairing the respirator article as well; it was very confusing and unhelpful, as you saw. — Greentryst ^T_C 15:44, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] to be checked

• About.com mentions IPV, which the Percussionaire website shows as a registered trademark.
• Need to add info about the TBird mobile ventilator.
