CPAP, comes with a cell chip in it to relay data for the Dr to monitor/access. Cell chip stops working after 5 years.
Edit: Realized this could use more clarity. The cell plan for the chip expires after 5 years and cannot be renewed, meaning the entirely functional machine needs to be replaced or the Dr can’t properly monitor necessary vitals.
I got mine from a Canadian reseller, shipped to the us that doesn’t have the Sim + I own. If I would have went with the official insurance way, it would have cost 2x ish AND the machine itself can magically last for 10 years since it’s a Canadian model…and all the parts are the same.

Interesting! FYI, not all Doctors require the constant monitoring, so some people can keep using the same machine longer.
