There were several new boxes piled on floor but he pulled one off a shelf that was in travel bag. I checked the power cord and machine and it looked used. I asked him 3 times if machine was new - he said yes. I asked him if he checked clinical menu “about” for time and he pretended to not know what that was.
I needed a good mask fit so went through process testing under pressure with me ending up with ResMed P10 nasal pillow.
Went home plugged in the machine and went into clinical menu and bingo machine had 1,359 hours on it. I immediately called and he said “it should have been new, must have been a mix up with machine in backroom, he will bring me a new one.”
Hell with that I drove back and traded after verifying I had a brand new machine.
It was no mistake - he lied and tried to give me a used machine with lots of hours on it.
Thanks to this forum and help on my first post that gave me the knowledge to be educated and not allow fraudulent DME cheat me & Medicare.
Thank you and warning to all new users.
