Manufacturers provide dmes with FREE sample masks expressly ffor the purpose o ffitting patients, but I suspect many dmes of selling their samples out the bacck door and refusing to let paying customers try on masks. Scumbags!

A dme should not be reusing masks. They have no method of properly cleaning the masks in between patients. The manufacturers do not provide lots of masks to DME'; it's usually one per new mask. Manufacturers offer a 30 day mask guarantee program that all patients and dme's can utilize.

the "multi patient processing" protocol in my mask manual begs to differ with you
