New Machine

Post by phx1hab » Wed Oct 21, 2015 10:43 pm

I'm getting a new APAP machine and they have given me the choice of either a Resmed Airsense 10 Autoset or a Phillips Respronics System One APAP. Which is better?

Who is "they" ? All the DMEs have a greater selection than just those two units.

Not necessarily. Some (or possibly many) DMEs stick with one particular brand........ResMed, P/R or even Fisher & Paykel.
For example, Apria is primarily a P/R seller. Many examples in the forum pages of Kaiser distributing only P/R equipment.
However, some primarily sell one brand, but CAN special order other brands.

Apria offered my GF four different ones, but "can special order others".
