[split] Jmayer180 AirCurve 10 ASV advice - jmayer180 - 11-07-2021
Hello, Thought I'd jump on here instead of adding a new thread. I haven't been on the Forum the last few years. I've perhaps gotten complacent since I finally got my severe complex apnea under control with my AirCurve S10 ASV. I feel well and am getting good numbers. My machine is now three years old and I have started wondering about a replacement if/when it quits. In searching [DME Link Removed] Supplier #1 I don't see AirCurve S10 ASV listed but instead a zillion or so other similarly named units. I'm forced to change my sleep doc due to his retirement, and haven't seen the new one yet. I have basically divorced my local DME. There is only one available in this rural area and they are NOT helpful.

At 3-years you are not in a place where you need to worry about replacement, and would not qualify under insurance anyway. You can finyd listings with Supplier #2 and others. If I was in your position, I would want a backup, and it doesn't have to be new, just something to fall back on if needed. Keep an eye on DotMed listings under the Respiratory/BiPAP listings and filter for Resmed. If a good deal on an Aircurve 10 ASV comes up, jump on it. Also SearchTempest is a way to look for machines listed on Craigslist nationally. Filter for Resmed ASV.
Since this is Lost53's therapy thread, I am splitting this to a separate thread.
