how do I check total run hours when I pick up my NEW machine

I hope to pick up a NEW ResMed S9 Autoset, model # 36005 in the next week. How do I check the total run hours to make sure it is a new machine? Do I tell the technician that I insist on doing that before I accept the machine, or do I ask them to show me the screen/proof?

Re: Newbie trying to make an educated decision

Hello Pugsy, Hello kaiasgram! Thanks for reading my post and for responding. Seven years ago, I lived alone and I had no idea that I snored until I took a trip to Italy with my grown daughters and they recorded me while I was sleeping. They were almost as tired as I was at the end of that trip and t...
