[Diagnosis] Misdiagnosed - what to do with equipment?
#1
Misdiagnosed - what to do with equipment?
I was diagnosed several years ago with moderate obstructive sleep apnea.  
It turns out the sleep lab swapped my results with somebody else's!  Oh-jeez 

Anyhow, after grappling with the doggone machine for years, getting lots of help from you here, and even buying a Resmed Mini for travel, it turns out I don't need it.  Healthy polysomnogram. 

Main machine is in fine working order but well used, so should probably go to electronics recycling?

CPAP Mini was only used TWICE.  Seems an awful shame to trash it (especially at the price paid!).  Any suggestions?  Donation?  Third world missions?

They are on local online marketplaces always where I live, like FB Marketplace, Kijiji in Canada. I guess Craigslist, is that still around?

Low hours devices are quite popular. Low is under say 5,000 hours. You can see hours used on the S10 control panel. They start to warn about motor life at around 23,000 hours.

Used twice Mini would attract buyers, though not MCOT some people would dig it.

Search for “medical equipment closet” in your locality and consider a tax-deductible donation. Try the Lancaster County Office of Aging for a list of loan closets. https://lancoaging.org/DocumentCenter/Vi...ipment-PDF
