Good to hear that. Depending on the country, the thread might be different. The voltage in Jordan is 220, but that doesn't really matter since all CPAPs (except really ancient ones), are dual voltage.

For example, most light fittings in Australia are the bayonet type, although the US style Edison screw fittings are becoming more common. Also there are smaller sizes available for each type.

I bought a minimally used RedMed S9 complete with case on this board to use as a travel machine as I do travel frequently. Cost was $300 as I recall. It had 8 hours of use. Brought it to the DME to make sure settings were correct.

I also carry a 10 foot extension cord. Have only needed to use it twice, once on a Seabournbankinvestor cruise ship and once at an LAX airport hotel.
