[QUOTE="JohnWilson, post: 128884, member: 213"] Here is the problem with APNEA appliances or any class two devices Bernard. Here in the states you have to be registered with FDA to resell or fab these. Next problem is the vast majority of GP's that are requesting snoring devices are for patients that have never had a sleep study done to diagnose if they have APNEA. They have read that their dentist can make them a "snoreguard" and ask them to make one. Anyone familiar with this disease understands that this is a a bad path. So now you have to weigh the risks, would you want to be involved with making an appliance that is for a patient that may have this disorder that is undiagnosed and then potentially die with your appliance in the mouth. Can you imagine the litigation? There is a reason why most product liability insurances exclude this appliance and necessitate a rider. As cool as your newest invention is I for one just do not see my upside in my business to make the rewards outweigh the risks [/QUOTE]
