Comments
Clients prescribed a PAP machine with no previous history of a PAP from RAP will complete a mandatory trial for up to 30 days. The trial will ensure the PAP therapy is tolerated by the client before a PAP machine is supplied.
Clients already using a PAP from RAP, but require an upgrade or a new machine for clinical reasons, may complete a trial for up to 30 days to determine the most appropriate replacement PAP machine.
Up to three trials can occur if a client needs to test different machines.
