What kind of specialized training are you looking for? The RT is the correct medical professional to be doing OSA/xPAP training. Yes you can train someone in how to put on a mask and clean their humidifier but how are you on phobias, relationships, eyes, facial swelling, grieving, anger management,...

What kind of specialized training are you looking for? When I was in school to be an RT, we had a semester of just Sleep disorders and sleep disordered breathing equipment.

Have you called the DME to ask WHY in the world they charge so much? The price is insane.

If you have complaints, take it up with the physicians or FDA, they can change it, I can't. A ...

Have met a few patient's on the Zzoma device....they love it.
Good luck.

I find it hard to believe it is the mask...I've had 2 of this mask over tha past year with no indication of a smell. Have you checked/replaced the filter on your CPAP?
