OK, I have a handle on it, thanks to all.

It's AdaptHealth QMES, they were the supplier chosen by my insurance (Fidelis) and they have been very good so far.

New user here, 4 months into an Airsense 10 and reached compliance. The machine was paid for by my medical insurance and comes with a 2 year manufacturers warranty.
