FDA CPAP Rules

[40 Winks]

Can anyone inform me how to get the FDA regulations regardings CPAP sales? I've just spent a half an hour on the FDA website to no avail ! ! !

It's probably right there in front of my face but . . . .

I'm looking for official guidance on what requires a prescription and what doesn't.

Thanks in advance, 4W

One thing to keep in mind is if it didn't require a prescription, it might not be covered by insurance.

Try this link.
It's from a thread from years ago where the forum member "tomjax" (who was a pharmacist) addresses prescriptions and "orders".

viewtopic/t108859/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1 ... er#p118897

Then, do a Google search on "what medical devices require prescriptions or orders"

Edit: I found a few other links in case they may shed a little more light on your question.
