Is it worth repairing my unit?
finally heard back from Resmed, and my Vantage is in need of $250 worth of repairs. It was mftg in 2006, has 3400 hrs of use logged, and they are replacing it to bring it nearly back to new, with a warranty of 6 months. Since I purchased it outright and have a crappy $2500.00 deductible for DME, it is my expense. Just curious of members thoughts on the matter. Need some advice.

If is is affordable I would recommend updating to a newer model as there have been major changes in the new machines for data tracking as well as new fucntionallity. that may be of interest to you in maintaining your theropy.
Goodluck in your quest

Yorkie, I bought a PR System One REMstar Auto cpap with humidifier today on cpapauctions.com for $165.50. It has 570 hours on it. Plan on using it for a backup and carrying with me when I take trips on my Harley. Check them out.

Re: Is it worth repairing my unit?
that's a great price, $165.00. Really was peaved to discover Resmed has halted the internet sales of their units. Seems if someone has
a prescription in hand, they should NOT have to hide or haggle to find their medical equipment. Unreal...a monopoly!
