Is this the one you mean? How do you hook your machine up to it?

pls, just to confuse the issue, I'm going to recommend a Puritan Bennet 420E APAP with integrated humidifier and the Silverlining software. A very reasonable price for them all bundled together from our hosts here. And the software is very user friendly, and you don't need to buy it separately at an outrageous price and then hunt around for a card reader.

If you've got a 10 year old machine, then you probably wouldn't miss CFlex or AFlex or ZFlex or whatever they're calling it today.

So now I think we've probably about covered every APAP that's out there, so are ya better off than before you asked??? LOL

Good luck!

Yes, that's the humidifier I use with my M series BiPAP Auto.

The short hose shown in the picture goes from humidifier to the cpap machine...attaching to the cpap machine where you'd normally stick the main air hose. That short hose comes with the humidifier.

See the other little open "chimney" looking thingie on top of the humidifier water chamber in the picture? The main air hose attaches there, instead of attaching the main air hose to the cpap machine.

So, you'll have two hoses hooked to the humidifier. A short hose going to the cpap machine. And your 6 foot main air hose going from the humidifier to your mask.
