Do these constant flow systems worry anyone else? I saw the Draeger unit
in the UK a few months ago and the first thing that hit me was that you
rely entirely on the reg that's feeding the bag with new O2. Ok, so that
isn't such a big deal. When it breaks you can switch over to a back-up
reg, right? But how do you know when it breaks? It just stops feeding gas
and the O2 in your bag gets lower and lower. Without a computer to monitor
this, you might not know that your O2 stops until it's too late. That's
one nasty (largely undetectable) single point of failure. Do others have
comments on this?
