Training is not actually required to be provided by anyone, manufacturer, government or otherwise. There’s plenty of online shops selling you the prescription which come with at best a short user guide that you can probably find online. They come with no aftercare, and you’re just given a device (usually unlocked) and the pressure recommendation preset. That’s it.
The current state of CPAP prescriptions is total bullshit.

- mynameisvlad 4y agoThe bar is already so low, it's not going to get noticeably worse. If the standard already is minimal training, then having more places provide just as minimal training is not going to noticeably change anything. Lower prices and a streamlined process would certainly mean more people are going to be getting CPAPs but that seems like a net positive if anything. Sleep apnea affects millions of people and is generally extremely tough to get treatment for. And that's not due to the "safety risks" (there are very few if any in day to day use) but rather an entrenched set of companies and providers that obviously benefit from this.
