Basically that, are there any health risks to be aware of when purchasing a used CPAP machine from another end user online?

You can send it to supplier 28 and he can clean it and make it like new. Even replace the motor .
Just email him and he will respond with a quote.

Awesome, thank you! I called a local DME and they started lecturing me about how it is a registered medical device and how I shouldn't be using it not knowing where it came from and not being registered to me and all of that jazz...

Don’t listen to that DME. There business model is to get your $$$. They want to sell you a new machine. That registered stuff was spoken by a person that is clueless.
When A person first gets a machine the serial # is entered into the DME’s software that Doctors office are also able to see. I think it called air view. If you obtain a used machine, no one can connect you to that machine.

Lots of folks here buy used machines and have no problems with them. Some folks on our Supplier List (at the top of each page in the black ribbon) sell used machines. If those suppliers sold bad machines, they would find themselves dropped from the list.

Well this particular machine is from an end user not an actual supplier but sounds like they are pretty safe and I can always send it off to Supplier #22 I believe it was to have them check it out. Thanks for the feedback!
