Preliminary Approval for Home Testing for OSA

Home testing for OSA preliminarly approved: http://www.cms.hhs.gov/mcd/viewdraftdecisionmemo.asp?from2=viewdraftdecisionmemo.asp&id=204&

Not only were type 2 (unattended polysomnogram) and type 3 devices (four channel) approved, but unexpectedly type 4 (1 or 2 channel) devices were also approved.

I am glad that I sold off my shares of Sleep Holdings Inc last week. I wish I would have bought Respironics instead of Resmed on Friday- Respironics makes the superior pulse oximeter (type 4 device)- the 920 M series.
