### Differences between other legally marketed devices:

The differences between the Whisper Swive! II and the Aero-Click ® are as follows: Use of a stainless steel spring to assure safe connection of both parts of the device instead of polycarbonate.

Flow at 100% relative humidity is higher in Aero-Click ® compared to Whisper Swivel II. The 2 parts of the device can be quickly connected/disconnected without removing the mask
