Unnfortunately, this is a medical device and as sucjh, there won't be any consumer available parts.
Does your machine have an auto-on feature that you can get to?

If so, that may be a way to proceed.

Failing that, ACCBio can repair your machine.

Just call the DME or whoever you got it from. I'm not sure I agree with JD's advice.

Is it the plastic button that has broken or the metal stem? If it is the metal stem, then the main PCA board has to be replaced. The repairs are much less than buying a new one. You can call DME Solutions for repairs if you choose. Their number is 719-592-0333.
