Resmed S9 travel bag recommendation needed

Post by camman595 » Tue May 27, 2014 9:53 am

I have a Resmed S9 that I plan on traveling with. I have the bag that came with the unit but I am looking for a bag that fits the main unit, smaller power supply, hose and nasal mask. Does anyone currently travel with this setup? What bag do you use?

Thanks

I do not travel for a living. But I use Pelican cases for my photography equipment and love them. You can set out what you want to contain on a table and decide how big it needs to be. Use your own packing material or get the Pick n Pluck liner for the Pelican case. Properly cushioned it will withstand anything in a pelican case, but I would still carry it on and treat it with care. If it slips out of a cab drivers hand when he unloads your luggage you will never regret the money you spent on the hard shell case.

I have the S9 and original carry bag. It holds the machine, power block/cord, my hose, and my full face mask. No problem. Is there something extra that you are trying to fit? What you have listed should fit fine in the travel bag that comes with the machine.

Who would have thought it would be this challenging to sleep and breathe at the same time?

Are you looking for a smaller or larger bag? From what you said it sounds like smaller, as you didn't list a humidifier?

Sorry I don't have experience. I can say that I was surprised to find on my first overnight with the machine last weekend that with a hose cover on my hose and the mask in the mesh compartment with the hose & power supply, the bag didn't have room for anything else. I had hoped to at least fit an extension cord, and possibly a small water bottle. Next time I'll have to try without the hose cover. Best wishes.

I am looking to go smaller. I am planning on not using the humidifier and because of that I can use the smaller and lighter power supply.
