Selling these can be tricky because most major marketplaces like eBay or Facebook block medical device listings. Your best bet is to look for private forums or specific second-hand sites that deal with sleep apnea gear. Zero hours is a huge selling point though.

Re: CMS 50D+ no USB connection win10 "device not found"

I would try the latest version 1.5. I just fixed mine 2 nights ago as I was having sleep trouble and wanted to check the o2 and total time. It fixed mine as I tried to use the install disc and I guess its just too old.
