Used home test: Apnealink or ? - newmar - 09-22-2019 I'm interested in getting a home test unit; at first was going to rent, but I see that I can buy one on ebay for the price of two rentals. A few questions:
Thanks! RE: Used home test: Apnealink or ? - selfcoacher - 02-19-2021 did you end up getting a home sleep test unit?

Yes, I did buy an Apnealink from ebay (well before the pandemic), and bought a few new sealed cannula (nasal) tubes to use with it. I couldn't get the software to work (kept getting an error on import), so I gave up on it until just a couple weeks ago: I tried it again and no longer getting import errors. I'm able to generate reports and it's been very helpful, although I'm sure not as accurate as an overnight stay. Just a warning that you can't get any support for use of this as a non-medical professional in case that's not obvious.
