CPAP Shortage - What's Going On?

Hello my fellow CPAP users, in this video we'll go over the recent CPAP shortage that is currently going on and what some people are doing about it.

As you all probably know the CPAP market has gone bonkers, from Philips Respironics recent recall to the computer chip shortage due to COVID-19, these two circumstances have created the perfect storm to make CPAP prices soar. Mick Farrell who is the CEO of Resmed one of the top CPAP suppliers on the market seems to be doing everything in his power to try and meet demand in our opinion from statements that have been put out.

We know that for patients waiting 12 months for a replacement machine is just not acceptable due to all the potential risks. Philips is producing 55,000 repair kits per week in the 3rd quarter of 2021 and expects to ramp up production to 80,000 repair kits per week in the 4th quarter. Unfortunately, as of now, this is the only update that we are able to provide.

Patients have been scrambling to buy CPAP machines but due to the shortage the price has skyrocketed and there are few to none available for those who need to get their much-needed therapy. Medical equipment providers and manufacturers are doing everything in their power to try and meet demand but the demand is exceeding the supply.
