What do they do with all those masks from sleep studys ?

Was on Yahoo auctions and noticed many masks . CPAP instructions, etc.
Is this what the evil DMEs do with the masks and directions to CPAPs ?

Cheers,

Chris

The masks at sleep labs are are normally cleaned, disinfected and reused on other patients. Sometimes, the lab will give the patient a cushion or even the full mask to their patient to take home with them.
