Looks a nice compact unit. Nice pics too. Good post and greened.

Are scientific results going to be published, or just the impression people get from user trials?

Things like hydrostatic pressure, WOB under pressure and CO2 breakthrough have well established tests for. If it is to be sold, imported or used commercially in Europe, then the tests are in EN14143. These use breathing machines under reasonably well defined conditions, and set minimum levels for safe performance. It would be good to see the figures from Cochran rather than figures from somewhere else after the first units are sold. What are the plans on this?

Just looking at the 10mbar, and 6mbar, please could you clarify if this is in air or heliox. EN14143 would have the hydrostatic in the prone position added to that but I can't see the CLs in the pics. How big are the CLs?
