Hello, This is a question from Tirana, Albania. If you can help, please let IVUN know and we will connect you.  
 

"I have bought the LTV1200 ventilator and need a “Kiss” trigger for using the LTV 1200. But I don’t know where I can buy it and if it will function with LTV."

A kiss to trigger the LTV1200 sounds sexy. I would guess this is a way of manipulating the lips to trigger a breath. Give a little more information please.

Hi Jerry, Yes, I didn't explain.  Please see:

Mouthpiece Ventilation in Patients with Neuromuscular ...

Sep 25, 2014 - The Open-circuit Mouthpiece Ventilation (MPV) is a mode of ventilation ..... the “Kiss trigger”, ventilation is activated when the patient simply.

Philips Respironics has its system.  http://www.healthcare.philips.com/pwc_hc/main/shared/Assets/Documents/Homehealthcare/Respironics/Trilogy%20MPV%20slide.pdf

 
See this gentleman in this article http://media.wix.com/ugd/fef361_7e530dd6af274239a1da81f10b2655f1.pdf   See pages 1 and 4.   He is using the LTV 950 which is being phased out.  The recommended replacement is the LTV 1150.
 
The individual with the question indicated they have purchased the LTV 1200 which is promoted for ICU, ER, etc.  
 
I have asked some of the people at Covidien, too.  (They now own the LTV Series.)
