Don’t Buy Used BIPAP and CPAP Equipment Just Anywhere

New sleep apnea equipment can be pricey.

When you have sleep apnea, it’s essential that you get the treatment that you need. In many of our previous blogs, we’ve talked about the consequences of leaving sleep apnea untreated, and believe us, it’s not worth the risk. However, when you’re on a budget, getting the equipment you need can be difficult, especially if you don’t have insurance or your insurance doesn’t provide the coverage you need for your equipment. This leaves many people with just one option: buying used.

Should you buy used BIPAP or CPAP machines?

When money is tight and your options are either buying used or foregoing the treatment you need, buying used can certainly be a great choice. Many times, people sell old equipment that works perfectly well because they no longer need it for whatever reason. Why pay full price for a new machine, when you can save a lot more when you buy used? Although the savings is wonderful, there is one caveat to buying used: it can be dangerous.

When buying used isn’t such a great option.

Whether you are buying a used BIPAP or CPAP machine, it was once used to force air into someone else’s lungs. And while many people believe that, as long as you replace the mask, you don’t need to worry about bacteria or viruses, it’s important to note that they can live deep within the machine. These machines are the perfect breeding grounds for viruses, bacteria, mold and mildew because they are warm and moist on the inside. Since many of the sellers on Craigslist and Ebay are simply trying to make a quick buck, they typically wipe down the equipment but don’t clean it enough to eliminate the potentially dangerous things living inside.
