Sleep Apnea CPAP Devices

A CPAP device generates a constant air pressure, while an APAP or Auto-CPAP device automatically adjusts the pressure within a range set by the doctor according to the user's breathing. In this category, you will find stationary devices for the nightstand – such as the ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet and AirSense 11 AutoSet or the Philips DreamStation – as well as travel devices like the ResMed AirMini or the HDM Z2 Auto, which fits into a handbag.

What to consider when choosing

For most users, an AutoSet device with an integrated heated humidifier is the most comfortable choice: The humidifier prevents dry nose and dry mouth, and the heated hose prevents condensation. Travel devices forgo the water chamber in favor of size and weight and work with special humidification filters. Also, pay attention to data recording (SD card, app like myAir) and which accessories – hoses, filters, water chambers – belong to each device; our product pages list the compatible parts.

Pressure settings and prescription

No prescription is required for purchasing CPAP devices. However, the therapy pressure or pressure range should come from a doctor or sleep lab; the devices are delivered to us with factory settings and can be adjusted in the clinical menu. If you send us your titration report or prescription via the prescription upload, we will check in advance whether the device and accessories are compatible.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between CPAP and APAP?

CPAP delivers a fixed pressure, while APAP (Auto-CPAP, referred to as "AutoSet" by ResMed) automatically regulates the pressure within a range. Many current devices can do both.

Do I need a humidifier?

Not necessarily, but most users find therapy with heated humidification more comfortable, especially in heated rooms and during winter.

Will my existing accessories fit a new device?

Masks and standard hoses fit any device (except AirMini). Water chambers, filters, and heated hoses are device-specific – for example, AirSense 10 and AirSense 11 use different chambers.
