Re: Traveling with CPAP to Europe: tips?

Re: Using CPAP overseas

You machine says it will work at 240 Volts so all you need is an adaptor, not a convertor. You do not need to worry about anything overheating etc because your label says it uses about 3 amps at 24 Volts DC. This means it uses approximately 0.3 Amps at 240 volts So just be sure you have an adapter t...

Re: How to can I reduce Centrals caused by BIPAP pressure

Thank you all. I really must try post some pictures and will. But most important is the psychological impact of being on this forum and knowing you are all there. The night after I posted my question, my AHI dropped to 1.9, the lowest ever, for the first time! Obviously because of the care you all h...

Re: Using CPAP overseas

Check the label on the back of machine or on the power module if the power module is part of the cord. It may say something like 220ACV-120ACV. (220 Volts AC - 120Volts AC where AC means alternating current) Many of todays electronics actually work at both voltages and only need an adapter (not a co...

Just got diagnosed with Sleep Apnea

The sleep clinic gave me a list of companies to go to who offer a free trial and support to get adjustments right etc. Yet someone with a CPAP already said that the prices they charge are very high (ie $1500 to $2500 for the equipment). Do any members have advice on how I should proceed? ie work wit...
