Product Features

Probasics introduces the same dependable and quiet CPAP therapy customers have come to love with the Zzz-PAP 'Silent Traveler' CPAP machine now in an advanced auto-adjusting CPAP machine (APAP).

Reasons to Consider This Machine:

• Advanced Auto Algorithm. The advanced auto algorithm changes the pressure on a breath by breath basis to deliver the minimum amount of pressure needed to keep the airway open.
• Optional Heated Humidifier. The Zzz-PAP Auto uses the same humidifier as the Zzz-PAP CPAP Machine. The humidifier keeps the airway moist through out the night to make therapy more comfortable.
• Included Advanced Therapy Software. Included with each Zzz-PAP Auto purchase is a copy of the Advanced Therapy Software, Zzz-Ware. This software allows tracking of therapy progress over time. The data from the last night of usage is also viewable through the Zzz-PAP Auto's Menu button.
• Automatic Altitude Adjustment. The Zzz-PAP Auto automatically adjusts the pressure depending on changes in altitude.
• Leak Compensation. The Zzz-PAP Auto adjusts the pressure to compensate for detected mask leaks.
• Clock with Alarm Function. The Clock and Alarm can be set through the Zzz-PAP Auto's Menu Display.

More Information on these Features:

Advanced Auto Algorithm. The Zzz-PAP Auto monitors the user's breathing through a set or pressure sensors inside the machine. The sensors measure pressure changes, caused by events such as snoring and apneas, on a breath by breath basis. Starting at the minimum set pressure, the Zzz-PAP will adjust the machine's pressure on a breath by breath to compensate for changes in airflow in order to keep your airway open. Once an event, such as an apnea is detected, the Zzz-PAP gradually increases the pressure until the event has passed.

For example, if you move from your side to your back while sleeping, your airway may become more obstructed. If this occurs, the Zzz-PAP Auto would detect this obstruction and increase the pressure until the obstruction was resolved.


Optional Heated Humidifier. The Optional Heated Humidifier provides six levels of humidity control. There is a easy to understand green led that is lit when the heater is turned on. The humidifier's water chamber disassembles and is machine washable.


Zzz-Ware Advance Therapy Tracking Software. Every Zzz-PAP Auto comes with advanced therapy software! The Zzz-Ware not only tracks basic compliance data, it also tracks advanced therapy such as Apnea/Hypopnea indexes, snoring events, and flow limitations. When reviewing the data, there are four tabs that show the majority of the information; the Total Time, Compliance, Detail, and Long Term.

The Total Time and Compliance tabs show basically the same information of when the device was used. The difference between the Total Time and the Compliance is that compliance time is the time the device was used while the user is wearing the mask.

The Detail tab shows data such as the user's pressure over time, the leak rate, the AHI, and the number of pressure events per hour. This screen shows a default of the last 72 hours, however the date range can be changed by clicking the "Set Range" button.

The Long Term tab allows you to see the average pressure, compliance and events over time. The date range can be changed on this screen as well.

Type This identifies the machine as continuous, auto adjusting, or bilevel operation. This does not identify whether the machine automatically adjusts pressure. Auto adjusting refers to APAP, whereas BiPAP Auto is differentiated using the Auto Pressure Adjustment property. BiPAP machines are defined further using Spontaneous or Timed properties. A CPAP machine blows one constant pressure of air into your passageway throughout the night. Your ideal pressure was determined during your sleep study. A BiPAP machine delivers two separate pressures of air; One when the patient inhales and a separate pressure when they exhale. The machine alternates between the two set pressures to help optimize your sleep apnea treatment. An APAP machine automatically adjusts on a breath by breath basis to blow the minimum pressure needed to keep your airway open during sleep. This allows your machine to provide you with your ideal pressure nightly.	APAP	APAP	APAP
Warranty Warranty is the length of time that the manufacturer will guarantee a product to be free of defects. Warranties vary in length depending on manufacturer, but generally all machines come with a 2 Year Warranty.	2 Years	5 Years	2 Years
Sound Level This is the level of sound the machine produces at a pressure of 10cm, standing 1 meter away or roughly 3 feet from machine. Measured in Decibels, the values also indicate whether the machine is considered a "quiet CPAP"; see Quiet property.	30 dBA	26 dB	27 dBA
Quiet This identifies which machines have a decibel rating of 29 and lower. This does not account for use with the humidifier attached, which could supply additional volume that can muffle or amplify sound. This property does not account for noise that travels through the CPAP tubing, seemingly sounding louder than the measured db rating.	No	Yes	Yes
Manuals Included This indicates which manuals are included with the purchase of a CPAP machine. Most all machines come with a patient manual; also called 'user manual', which may or may not have pressure setting instructions. Some machines come with both the patient and quick setup guide or both patient and clinician manuals.	Patient/Quick Setup	Patient/Quick Setup	Patient

Humidifier Features
Heated Humidifier This indicates which heated humidifier works best with the listed CPAP machine. In some instances, Built-in is used to describe a machine/humidifier combination system. The Fisher and Paykel HC150 was used for machines that do not have an integrated or built in humidifier system.	Zzz-PAP Humidifier	IntelliPAP Heated	System One 60 Series
Built-In Humidifier Identifies which CPAP has a humidifier that is built into the CPAP. Built-In humidifiers cannot be separated from the CPAP machine.	No	No	No
Heated Humidifier Type This property identifies how the machine incorporates a Heated Humidifier. Build In humidifiers are built into the CPAP machine and cannot be separated from the machine. Integrated humidifiers connect directly to the CPAP machine and they can only be used with compatible CPAP machines. With Integrated� humidifiers, the CPAP machine, can be separated and used without the humidifier. CPAP machines that do not have a built in humidifier and do not have an integrated humidifier option have to use a Stand Alone humidifier as the machine's heated humidifier option. Stand Alone� humidifiers can be used with any machine and connect to the CPAP machine with an additional hose.	Integrated	Integrated	Integrated
RainOut Reduction Manufacturers are finding ways to reduce the amount of water that collects in the CPAP hose when using a Heated Humidifier. The Rainout Reduction feature varies by manufacturer and machine and can be anything from an integrated heated hose, to technology that measures the humidity at the mask and adjusts the humidity to reduce rainout.	No	No	60 Series Heated Tube
Integrated Heated Hose This indicates that the machine has an integrated heated hose option to enhance humidification and reduce rainout. An integrated heated hose draws its power from the machine itself and does not have a separate power cord and is adjusted through the machine settings.	No	No	Yes
Pressure Features
Auto Pressure Adjustment This property defines whether the machine automatically adjusts pressure to meet the needs of the CPAP user on a breath-by-breath basis. All APAP machines are defined as 'Auto Adjusting', but some BiPAP's also use an Auto feature on both the IPAP and EPAP. If not marked, Yes, assume the machine does not have AUTO capabilities.	Yes	Yes	Yes
Pressure Range A CPAP (Constant Positive Air Pressure) delivers continuous airflow at a prescribed pressure at 4cm to 30cm. APAP operates between a range and BiPAP machines are a mix of ranges and constant pressures. This pressure is measured in centimeters of water pressure (H2O) and 4-20cm is average pressure range on most CPAP machines.	4-20cm H20	4-20cm H20	4-20cm H2O
EPAP Pressure Range This Property lists the operating range for the Exhalation Positive Airway Pressure (EPAP). This is the pressure setting used when you exhale. EPAP is always lower than the IPAP (inhalation) pressure, making breathing out easier and more comfortable.	No	NA	NA
Easy Breathing Pressure Relief is a feature that lowers your therapy pressure to help with difficulties breathing against the machine's airflow, providing a more comfortable and natural breathing pattern. Assistance can occur on the Exhalation, on the Inhalation, and on both exhalation and inhalation at the same time.	No	SmartFlex	A-Flex
Ramp The Ramp feature allows the user to start treatment at a lower pressure to fall asleep with, gradually raising the pressure over a set time. This is a comfort setting and can set from 0 to 45 minutes on most CPAP machines.	Yes	Yes	Yes
CPAP Mode This property defines whether the machine is capable of continuously blowing a constant pressure. All CPAP machines are defined as 'continuous', but some BiPAP's and APAP's also come with a CPAP mode; some BiPAP and BiLevel machines Do NOT. By setting the IPAP and EPAP to the same pressure, a CPAP Mode is achieved, preventing the EPAP pressure from dropping.	Yes	Yes	Yes
Power Features
Direct Battery Operation Indicates which machines have a DC port in which you can use to connect a battery pack or a deep cycle marine battery with an optional DC cable. This is different from an integrated battery that works only with the machine it was designed for. (i.e. Everest CPAP Machine) see property Integrated Battery	No	Yes	Pending
Voltage Range Domestic Voltage is the voltage that is used with a standard wall outlet in the United States and ranges from 100-120 volts. International Voltage can range from 220v-240v AC.	100 - 240 AC	100-240V AC	100-240V AC
Optional DC Cable A 'Yes' answer indicates that the CPAP Machine has an optional DC cable that plugs directly into a DC port (see _Direct Battery Operation_). This allows you to use a DC power source, such as a battery or car cigarette lighter. Although some cables already come with battery terminal leads, some DC cables will need a separate part that connects the cigarette lighter adapter to another adapter with terminal leads.	No	Yes	Pedning
Integrated Battery An integrated battery pack attaches to and functions seamlessly with the machine it is integrated with. It allows your CPAP to run on AC and fail over to the DC battery only if necessary.	No	No	No
Software Features
Advanced Software/Data Identifies which machines are data capable and have the ability to track your therapy progress over time. The machine captures key metrics like AHI (Apnea/Hypopnea Index), Leakage, and most pressure used. Depending on the machine, the data can be retrieved through an on Machine Screen Display (MSD), through Optional Software (OS), and/or through SmartCode (SC).	Yes	MSD; OS	MSD
Data Card This property marks the machines that have the ability to record performance data on a removable card. Some machines that are flagged as having software (seeOptional Software), do not have removable memory cards, rather instead, records information on-board and must use a download cable to retrieve the data from the machine.	Yes	Yes	Yes
Optional Software Software is an option on some CPAP machines. The software can give details on compliance and performance. The patient or physician downloads the data from the CPAP machine to determine how long a patient has used their machine each night and how well the machine is working to stop Apnea/Hypopnea events. This property shows the software package to use for machine that has the ability to transfer data to your computer and report Hours of Usage. See Advanced Software for a list of machines that can report AHI or Leakage.	Zzz-Ware	SmartLink	No
Additional Features
Auto Altitude Adjustment Altitude Adjustment is defined as the machine's ability to compensate for changes in altitude. Compensation can either occur manually or automatically. Manual adjustments occur within the Setup Menu and must be set by the user. Automatic requires no user intervention.	Auto	Auto	Auto
Auto ON/OFF This feature turns the machines off and on when putting on or taking off the mask. When you put your mask on the machines senses you breathing and turns itself on. Take off the mask and the machine turns off.	No	Yes	Yes
Mask Off Alert This feature detects excessive mask leaks due to poor cushion seal or when a user stops therapy by removing a mask when in use. The alert can be in the form of an audible alarm (ALARM) or a text message on the unit's LCD display (LCD).	Yes	LCD	LCD; ALARM
Spontaneous Spontaneous (S) mode tells the machine to start blowing at IPAP pressure with no specific interval set. The machine must wait and detect a break in the breathing cycle before reacting, switching from exhalation to inhalation. If a backup rate is needed, then the unit will need a time interval setting and will be marked 'Yes' on the Timed property.	No	No	No
Timed Timed (T) or Spontaneous Timed (ST) modes provide a customizable backup rate that forces the machine to switch from exhalation to inhalation. In ST Mode, the machine monitors the breathing cycle and switches from EPAP to IPAP once the backup time is met or whenever the break is detected through the sensors; whichever occurs first. The time aspect is only meant to act as a backup respiratory rate to the (S) function (see Spontaneous). This is used for patients with central sleep apnea, or those who need non-invasive mechanical ventilation.	No	No	No
