You should be aware that some interface devices with narrow tubes, such as the Nasal Aire or the Breeze with Nasal Pillows, may have an impact on the ability of this and other auto CPAPs to accurately respond to airflow restrictions during use.
A ResMed DC-12 Converter For S8 Machines must be used with the 12 volt jack. Any other cable will likely cause a machine failure.
CPAP machines come with a six foot hose, a travel bag and manuals. Masks are not included and must be purchased separately. We will be happy to help you with sizing and offer suggestions on current popular masks.
Do not run this machine on a regular AC to DC inverter. A pure sine wave inverter must be used. We sell these on the website.
The EPR and Auto features cannot be used simultaneously.

"Excellent machine for the price. Works great on auto. If using a full mask I would advise getting the HumidAire 3i humidifier."

"It is much compact than I thought. It works well, without any problem. No need to initial-set it up.
I am very happy that it is 100-240V AC input and its AC plug is compatible to Japanese."
great improvement in design and function

"Because my REMstar/pro just stopped working after 4 years of not heavy use I decided to explore my options. Not only is the ResMed S8 smaller, the packaged humidifier is smaller and much more efficient with more options. Hopefully this will last longer than the REMstar, but I like the unit and I love the savings of being able to purchase direct and save at least 40% on the cost of this important medical equiepment."
