Perhaps ask the good support folks at cpap.com if an Rx with several types of machines prescribed at the same time would work for buying a different type of machine later. Yes, I think that is the next common sense step. I already have the 1st prescription from my doc but will go back to her & ask ...

It just occurred to me that buying an APAP may? require the doctor's prescription to say so ?

The people who advise this sleep clinic have included Prof Sullivan and other Sydney Uni researchers. The reason the sleep clinic gives is that the machines take short period to work...
