[QUOTE="iHs, post: 144064, member: 8799"] Most hospitals will allow people to have a choice but that choice is probably limited to the amount of knowledge that a pump dsn has on the particular pump that someone wants. I was somewhat lucky as although my dsn knew of the Spirit pump, she had no knowledge of how the Combo remote worked with it so on the day that the rep arrived at the hospital, it was a learning curve for us both. What I did find out is that the new Spirit pump that I have got will not pack up after 4 years. It will go on working for a good 7 years so I'd better look after it and try not to drop it on the floor, cracking the case. Once my 7 years is up (or sooner if the pump develops a fault) the PCT has then got to be asked to agree to fund me another one. Many people will think that when their 4 year warranty is up, a pump will be automatically replaced with another one but I dont think that that is going to be the case anymore. Well, that's the way that I understood it. [/QUOTE]
