When will the S9 be available to DMEs?

Post by JMJflyer » Tue Mar 16, 2010 3:56 am

I was told that they won't be available for a few months. Does anyone know exactly when they will be available through DMEs?

I'm not in the US so I don't know for sure but I see a lot of people are starting to get the S9 in the US so I think it might be available now or people are buying direct outside of insurance. Hopefully others can chime in on whether they're getting their machine from their DME or not.

It is definitely has been shipping to all that are ordering.... although my ClimateLine is on backorder for 7 - 10 days.

I assume that some have not ordered until they clear out other stock or have made a conservative decision not to order anything new until they are sure that they won't be bitten by a machine with many bugs and returns. Not all DME's are prone to telling the truth all the time... its a selective thing... but always in your best interests... just ask them

...and some DME's might prefer to provide/sell different manufacturers gear as they get more of a markup on them.
