Choice for second CPAP unit

[Guest]

I'm trying to determine a CPAP machine to travel with. My pressure is around 8 and I like the ramp feature but don't have to have it. However, a humidifier is a must. Data capapbility would be nice, but I don't want to spend a (another) fortune. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks -

Oops - forgot to login before I posted. I have an S9 Autoset with nasal pillows and would like to get a cpap unit to travel with. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

For travel purposes, the DeVilbiss Intellipap AutoAdjust Travel machine is ideal, and you have the ability to check your data via the web tool using smart codes given out on the lcd screen. That data is not as comprehensive as the software can provide, but while traveling, it would certainly be more than enough. The Intellipap has SmartFlex, a 3-yr warranty, and integrated humidifier, easy to set up and change settings, a very small footprint, and very important for travelers: NO POWER BRICK! The travel case that comes with it is also very well constructed and nice looking.

You can buy this machine on our host's site cpap.com or other online vendors such as secondwindcpap.com (where I got mine). Approx. $450 complete out the door.

Does the Intellipap has a rain out control? Or do you need to use the Aussiehose or other kind of heated hose?
How do you do to read your data reports?
It seems it's a very low noise machine only 26db, wow mine is 29db
Thanks

I have never had any rainout with my machine. I have a hose cozy on my regular hose. You can use an Aussie hose with this machine, if needed. I live in FL so heated hoses are not of interest to me. The Intellipap uses Smart Link software for reading the SD card, but for those who do not want to buy software, you can get the Smart Code off the LCD screen in the morning and plug that into a web tool (available at the DeVilbiss site or use the one on cpap.com) that will generate a report with the basic info on leaks, AHI, etc. It is not as detailed as the software which allows to you see the whole night via graphs.
