Read Full Description...
The DeVilbiss IntelliPAP AutoAdjust CPAP System is designed to optimize therapy effectiveness. Take advantage of the APAP's ultra-sensitive snore detection and self adjusting pressure based on apnea/hypopnea detection. There are three large buttons for CPAP users to operate the device. When travel is a concern take advantage of the compact design allowing the APAP, humidifier, hose and accessories to store away in its travel bag. Packed with features, the APAP is programmed with:
Adjustable apnea/hypopnea detection
Automatic Altitude Adjustment
Pressure Ramp
SmartCode compliance tracking
Auto ON/OFF
Reminder Alert
Backlit LCD
Easy-to-Follow CPAP user Menu
Built for durability, the unit is water resistant, has a stainless steel heat transfer plate and a water chamber constructed of Lexan (polycarbonate resin thermoplastic). Use the optional heated humidifier to provide additional comfort and humidity for your sleep therapy. The exclusive humidifier chamber is easy to remove and designed to maximize humidity with a larger surface area. Along with the unique baffle design, the water chamber allows the airflow to collect more humidity. DeVilbiss designed the chamber to hold enough water for a full night's sleep. At the humidifier's highest setting, you can still expect a full 8 hours of humidification.
Powering the unit is achieved through docking with the CPAP, eliminating the need for bulky power adapters or extra hoses.
SmartCode is a simple and easy way to review your sleep performance without the need to purchase software. Starting the day after your first treatment, the IntelliPAP machine begins to display SmartCode messages on your machine's LCD screen. Each message is a unique encrypted code containing the results of your sleep therapy. The IntelliPAP quickly confirms compliance using the Adherence Score. Doctors use the Adherence percentage score to determine whether a user is in compliance with CPAP LCD (Local Coverage Determination). SmartCodes report Adherence based on the best consecutive thirty days of usage. Codes can be generated for the following calendar schedule:
1 Day
7 Days
30 Days
90 Days
Commulative
Using the "Track Your Therapy" tool provided on this Product Page, IntelliPAP users can input 1 or several SmartCodes to generate a series of reports. Refer to the IntelliPAP SmartCode Report Comparison Chart for list of reports for each machine.
Power Options
Universal Power
The DeVilbiss IntelliPAP AutoAdjust System operates automatically between 110v – 240v AC. When traveling either inside or outside the USA, there are no switches to switch or fuses to change. The machine will automatically sense what voltage is needed and set itself to run on that power.
The user will need to adapt the plug that goes into the wall to fit the style of outlet socket that is being used. This is simply done with a Power Adapter Plug kit. This is the same type of plug adapter that would be used with a hair dryer or an electric shaver.
The IntelliPAP AutoAdjust won the Product Challenge with a score of 19 to 11.
Product Challenges are head to head competitions between two similar products. Only real CPAP users determine the superior product after testing both in their home for a 2-3 week period.
What Participants liked about the IntelliPAP AutoAdjust: "By far the quietest of any machine I've ever used, the IntelliPAP is barely audible." – Marc K.
Easy to breathe out against even without C-Flex or A-Flex for most
Sized right for Travel but made for regular use
Extremely quiet
No power brick attached to the cord
Increases pressure according to hose length size
What Participants want improved about this machine: "For the average person that is not detail driven the smartlink info is adequate but I think there should be a definition list as to what certain letters mean in the available graphs and maybe instruction on what your reading." – Donna N.
Some participants, usually those with higher pressure settings, missed the exhalation relief that A-Flex and C-Flex machines offer.
Smartlink Data Software was usually effective for participants, but did break for one participant
The Machine turns off too quickly which is uncomfortable for some
The backlight on the machine is dimmer but is still too bright

CPAP.com Comments
Most Brand Name manufacturers' CPAPs operate at 30dBA or higher and come standard with only a two year warranty. DeVilbiss now comes with an industry leading, 3-year warranty service and is ultra-quiet operating at only 26dBA.
The power supply is internal for the IntelliPAP line. There is no bulky power adapter or brick.
We expect the LEXAN and stainless steel humidifier chamber to last much longer than other units in this price range.

Quiet, smooth operation

"I purchased the Intellipap (a horrible name, btw; sounds like a disease...), b/c I needed a smaller more portable unit. Compared with my M series (remstar plus w/ cflex), the Intellipap is sooooooooo much quieter - a real pleasure both for me and my sweetie (who is very sound sensitive). Further, the intellipap is b/w 1/2 and 2/3 the size of the mseries, making the Intellipap much much easier to carry, and less obtrusive in the bedroom.
Otherwise, both units feel similarly (which is odd, given that the intellipap doesn't have the exhale relief feature - I'm finding I don't miss it, though perhaps that's b/c my pressure setting is only at 8). Overall, I'm very pleased with the intellipap, and at this point I definitely prefer it over the m series."

"This is my first APAP I've used and it has worked great so far. The machine is very quiet compared to my M-Series Plus I was using and seems smaller also. The Smart Code feature is also very useful to help track your therapy. I was concerned that I would miss the C-Flex feature from my old machine but breathing with the IntelliPAP is very easy."

"I have an old CPAP from 8 years ago that has held up well and cost a fortune, but this little machine leaves it in the dust. The new technology is beneficial for changes in pressure requirements that most people encouter during sleep cycles. From the first night I have lept better, muscle pains have decreased, and I wake up feeling rested. The smart codes are a big plus in allowing tracking of apnea events. I have a business conference in a week and bought this specifically to pack, but have used it every night in place of the old machine. Price is excellent for what you get."
