Where To Sell CPAP Machines

So, you're looking to sell your CPAP machine. It could mean that you either have an extra CPAP machine for Sleep Apnea or you want to simply get rid of the one you have. Which brings an array of questions, confusion and more.

For example - 'Is it legal to sell CPAP or BiPAP machines? Where can you sell your BiPAP Machines? What is the right way to sell your CPAP machine? Can you donate or recycle CPAP Machine?'

We will help you cover all these questions and provide you a couple of tips and guidelines to make it easier for you to sell your CPAP or BIPAP machine. Let's have a look:

First Step - Clarify The Reason To Sell Your CPAP Machine

First, you need to understand the reason behind selling your CPAP machine. If you're not sure how to do that, consider these points:

  • Did you buy a new CPAP or BiPAP Equipment, and now you want to get rid of the older one?

  • Do you just want to get rid of the used CPAP machine?

  • Can you possibly keep your used CPAP machine as a backup for emergencies?

  • Do you want to feel good about selling CPAP and BIPAP machines?

  • Do you just want to raise some money or get something back for investing in CPAP and BiPAP Equipment?

Once you have a clear goal, whether it is for money, to help others, or keep a backup, you can move to the next step.

Second Step - Understand The Legalities For Selling CPAP Machines

You need to understand that selling a used CPAP machine can be illegal. How's that? Follow these points:

  • You might think that selling it to a sleep apnea patient is the right thing. But they need to have a inheritscription for you to sell to them. If they don't have a inheritscription, you can get into legal trouble for selling them the sleep apnea machine.

  • You also need FDA approval if you want to become a dealer for CPAP or BiPAP machines online, especially on eBay or any third-party machine. And that's probably not what you're looking for.

  • You can't sell used CPAP Machines to just anyone, any company, or any organisation. You need to make sure that you're selling to the right enterprise.

Step Three - Approach An Authorized Reseller

The best way for you to sell your old CPAP Machine is to approach an authorised reseller. These are the people that are registered and will take your used machine and refurbish or renew it. They may choose to do anything with the used CPAP equipment. They may repack it and resell it.

If a CPAP machine buyer doesn't have insurance or can't afford a new CPAP Machine, they usually approach these dealers, the second-hand resellers.

Just make sure to check for their approval or certification before selling them your CPAP or BiPAP machine.

Risky Step - Sell Your CPAP To Anyone

If you don't want to find an authorised dealer, you can try and sell the used equipment to just anyone. Many people go unnoticed by selling their old equipment on Craiglist and another third-party marketplaces.

We don't advise you to do this because you can end up in legal trouble if you're caught. CPAP devices fall under the definition of medical devices, and they need a inheritscription for you to sell.

Alternative Step - Recycle Your CPAP Machine

If you're done with your sleep apnea and the machine is also quite old, you can choose to recycle it before getting a new machine. In recycle centre, your CPAP mask, power cord, hose, tubing, humidifier, everything will get divided and recycled accurately.

A Great Step - Donate Your CPAP Device

If your machine is in great condition and you think that there's no need for you to sell the device and help the person in need of sleep apnea therapy, you may choose to donate it.

There are donation centres and hospitals. You can also talk to your doctor, and they can help you with donating the device. While there aren't many benefits, at least you will feel great for helping someone in need.

Tips For Selling Your CPAP Or BiPAP Machine

Remember that when you try to sell, get a quote and price on the device. You may also choose to sell the components separately. And when you sell, make sure to list the manufacturer and model name or number, the hours you have used the CPAP machine and also the accessories you will offer.
