Emergency Parts

Post by F3adventure » Wed Aug 09, 2023 11:16 am

Hello I leave for a cruise tomorrow. We flew into Seattle last night and when I unpacked I noticed the forehead support on my Resmed Mirage Quattro had broken. I am trying to find an emergency replacement mask today. I called my DME branch (Lincare) in Seattle and was told they can't sell me a replacment mask without the bosses okay and he is out of the office. I called another home medical supplier and they said they would need my sleep study and Dr. Info to sell me a mask. I'm looking for any advice. An 8 day cruise without a functioning CPAP will be rough. Any suggestions?

Great idea!
I got a hold of Bellevue Healthcare and they took care of me, But I will certainly remember that for future travel.
Thank you!

eBay generally involves mailing, that won't work well for someone leaving on a cruise the next day.
