CPAP Masks, Humidifiers Classified As Class II Medical Devic

Recent changes in prescription requirements from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classify CPAP/Bi-PAP masks and humidifiers as Class II Medical Devices.

Does anyone know what the previous classification was for them? Will this have any effect on easing or making more difficult buying equipment online? Or is this just the change in policy Johnny Goodman and cpap.com recently made us aware of?

Slinky, I think this change is what caused Johnny to change cpap.com's selling policy. I am still waiting to see how this effects cpapauction. Under current cpap.com rules while it may effect some for the most part it is still loose enough it won't impact my buying very much because I still have an old script that is written loose enough to work for anything I need.

Best I remember masks, humidifiers did not have a classification. Only the flow generators.

Thanks, Jerry. That is what I expected but .... just thought I would ask.
