Ebay to Cease Oxygen Device Sales

BUFFALO, NY

In what stakeholders call a victory for the entire respiratory industry and the patients it serves, AirSep Corp executives said that giant Internet marketer eBay will cease selling prescription oxygen devices

The issue of what happens to concentrators and other oxygen delivery devices after an oxygen patient dies has long been a concern to industry stakeholders, according to AirSep and others, with many risks for consumers who assume ownership of used equipment via garage and Internet sales There is, for example, no assurance that the level of oxygen is appropriate for the user, and the absence of clinical oversight can lead to dangerous outcomes.

In the fight to eliminate sales of prescription respiratory equipment on eBay, the industry has finally won, said AirSep's Joe Priest, president and CEO.
