I'd like to see a better way to securely attach the machine to a table so that it can't be pulled off. Perhaps some sort of bracket that can be screwed to the table with a way to securely latch the CPAP to the bracket until the user wants to release it.

Thank you for asking. I'm always amazed when companies/engineers design products for special populations without knowing the needs and priorities of the population. Your products will be more competitive if you can synthesize and apply all this feedback into the design process of your product line. I also suggest applying the principles of universal design to cpap products. Particularly robust to failure!

Completely agree with this. And don't forget the Mac users. Also it would be really cool if you developed an app so that we could look at our data on a smart phone or tablet! Look at Zeo mobile for a nice model.

I travel a lot and need a light weight compact machine. Include a clock, an alarm, a LED digital time display, an app for reading data, a rechargeable battery, and mark on the machine that it is a medical device. My current cpap machine is big and heavy. Its case is about the size of a shoebox, simply unacceptable for a travel machine. My less than ideal alternative to traveling with cpap is Provent. I'd like to change that.
