ELYRIA, Ohio — Invacare announced June 1 that it has shipped its 200,000th HomeFill transfilling oxygen system. J. B. Richey, the manufacturer's senior vice president of electronic and design engineering and president of Invacare Technologies Division, designed the system.
"When we first launched the HomeFill System, the idea of having patients fill their own cylinders at home was considered radical, but Invacare was always behind this product," Richey said in a release. "Non-delivery oxygen is good business for providers and provides patients with an endless supply of oxygen. It's a win-win."
