17. What are the advantages of the PMV™ 2000/PMV 2001 over the PMV 005?

The PMV 2000 (Clear) and the PMV 2001 (Purple colored™) are Low Profile – Lower Resistance Tracheostomy & Ventilator Swallowing and Speaking Valves. They are lightweight and smaller in size than the PMV 005 (White) and the PMV 007 (Aqua colored™), and open easier during inhalation. The PMV 2000/PMV 2001 can be used directly on the 15mm hub of a tracheostomy tube as well as in-line with the ventilator using non-disposable, flexible rubber tubing. These low profile valves can be used with the PMV Secure-It™ (packaged with each of the low profile valves). The Secure-It™ allows the PMV to remain connected to the tracheostomy tube tie to prevent loss. Patients who are on low flow oxygen also have the benefit of being able to attach the PMA™ 2000 Oxygen Adapter (sold separately) to the PMV 2000 and PMV 2001. This adapter clips onto the side of either valve and allows for delivery of oxygen up to 6 L/min.
