Can you sell a used patient monitor on eBay?
67% of the FDA's device records of this type are prescription-only, so some models can be sold and some can't.
eBay doesn't allow any medical device that requires a prescription. Whether a particular patient monitor does depends on how its maker registered it with the FDA, and that is printed on the device: look for "Rx only" or "Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician" on the label.
