How strange that the only way to get one of those devices is via the NHS. Usually if you have to wait too long, or something isn't available in the UK, there's a private medical service more than willing to take your money!
- decodebytes 4y agoOP here. I purchased the first device privately from resmed (one of the main cpap vendors), but the actual one i needed was an ASV and this was refused privately and only available via the NHS. Reading between the lines, I expect the NHS is one of their main customers and had ordered a huge backlog, so they got priority.
- drpancake 4y agoI commented on this above but I think this is because ASV users need to be screened for heart issues first!
