Many of our customers have asked us why we don't stock ResMed products. The short answer is because we believe that Respironics can and are supplying us with all the CPAP-related products we need.

ResMed are a competing manufacturer, and have acheived a large degree of success worldwide, with critical acclaim from many sources in the industry. In 2005 they made the BusinessWeek list of 100 Hot Growth Companies for the sixth time in seven years. They were also awarded Manufacturer of the Year for 2006 by the UK Association for Respiratory Technology & Physiology (ARTP) and, in Australia, won the Large Advanced Manufacturer Category of the 2005 Premier’s NSW Exporter of the Year Award. In addition, ResMed CEO Dr Peter Farrell was named Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2005 US national award winner in the Health Sciences Category.

Having competed with Respironics since the two rival companies started, both have been forced to innovate and improve their technology to keep up with consumer demand.

In the late 1990's ResMed filed a series of lawsuits against Respironics claiming that the rival had infringed several of ResMed's patents. Every single lawsuit brought against Respironics was a failure, as the courts involved agreed that Respironics did not infringe any of ResMed's patents.

We believe that Respironics has a wide enough range of masks, machines and accessories to supply any of our customers' needs, and we do not at this point in time intend to stock any ResMed products.
