Anyone Know What a "Silicone Cushion And Seal Kit" Is?

Anyone Know What a "Silicone Cushion And Seal Kit" Is?
I saw the sleep doctor for a replacement machine since I hit the 23,000 hours on my S10. 

He approved an APAP (last was CPAP) since he knew I change the settings anyway and I am on a APAP machine which works better for me. He is ambivalent on whether it is a S10 or S11 and I am leaning towards the S10, APAP version.

So I ask for the service provider's estimate for private insurance, and they send this ridiculous list of items, for example both a FF mask and a nasal mask. And their "clinical support program" which is the hospital's job of course, a pillow, a backup battery, everything but a new kitchen sink.

One item (optional like most of them) was "Silicone Cushion and Seal Kit". I have no clue what that is. Masks have cushions and seals, so can anyone guess what this is? It's a pure rigged huge estimate because I have insurance but this one item baffles me.

Would anyone here pay $200 for a 5 year vs. standard 2 year warranty? I am not sure it is worth it, insured or not. My S10 with the motor life message is 7 years old and still going. My experience with small electronic items with a motor is they either fail out of the box or in a week or they last for years if not dropped.

Hey Ricky, most of us have left the scam artists-dmes in the dust Smile

I think the silicone Cushion and Seal Kit is likely a 30 dollar silicon cushion for a full face setup and the humidifier airchamber seals that are replaceable in the AS10... You can purchase a replacement motor for the AS10 for $100 online if you want to swap it out.
