Product Features

Improved Sound Dampening and Functionality

International Travel
The circuitry within the humidifier has been upgraded to accommodate both 120v and the higher 240v, found overseas.
Humidity Temperature Control
The control feature was re-engineered to address certain noises generated in its first version. This effort is to ensure a consistent temperature difference between the water and ambient air, minimizing condensation in the tubing ("rain out") and keep the humidification level constant throughout the night.
Easy to Clean
Comes with a detachable, dishwasher safe water chamber for trouble-free maintenance. Open the chamber with the always available Extraction Tool, stored on the humidifier.
Easy to use
Features a rotary button that allows you to adjust heating level along with separate Power On and Heater On indicator lights. When the Heater Plate Switch is pressed against the water chamber, the orange heater indicator light acknowledges that the unit is ready for use.

Joseph A, NJ – January 25, 2012

"nice size can hol a lot of water. wish it was smaller for travrl."

Essential add-on

Geoff P, BC – January 15, 2012

"The water chamber on my old machine doesn't come apart, so having the ability to do that on this humidifier is really nice for me.

This humidifier has a power switch that lets you turn the cpap machine off instead of having to unplug it.

If you buy the Zzz-Pap Silent Traveler & usually use a humidifier - this is a no-brainer."

humidifier is crappy

Richard B, CT – January 01, 2012

"I purchased this machine to replace my Goodnight travel machine went belly up. Simply put the machine is fine but the humidifier doesn't get hot enough to add humidity to the water chamber. So I'm waking up in the middle of the night with a cold dry nose."

Simple

Melinda K, AZ – December 30, 2011

"Great for traveling. Very simple to use."

Richard S, AL – December 28, 2011

"A little hard to fill without a funnel. Should ship a small funnel with it. Does the job and doesn.t create moisture in the mask."

What is a heated humidifier?

A heated humidifier uses heat to produce moisture. The heat is adjustable for more or less moisture, and the chamber is much smaller than a passover humidifier.

It is our experience from over ten years of specializing in CPAP equipment, that patients who use heated humidifiers have a much higher rate of therapy effectiveness to CPAP therapy.

There are three types of heated humidifiers:

Stand Alone Humidifiers
Integrated Humidifiers
Built In Humidifiers

What is a passover humidifier?

A passover humidifier is a chamber of water added to the CPAP to help moisten the airflow and reduce irritation to the nasal passages.

Air flows from the CPAP, through a short hose to the humidifier, then into the six foot hose to the mask. The air picks up whatever moisture it can as it "passes over" the water in the chamber.

Passover humidifiers may provide sufficient moisture with CPAPs set at lower-end pressures, but if not, there is no way to increase the amount of moisture produced. Furthermore, in cold climates, the water temperature in the chamber will drop, causing the CPAP air to become very cold and reduce the amount of moisture.

What is an integrated humidifier?

An integrated humidifier is a component to a specific CPAP that fits directly to the CPAP, eliminating the need for a second hose and in some heated humidifiers, a second power cord.

The advantage of an integrated humidifier is a more compact unit that uses fewer parts.

A disadvantage is that they may produce less moisture if used as passover humidifiers because the surface area is typically smaller. Also, most integrated humidifiers will function only with the CPAP for which they were designed.

You can see if your machine has an integrated humidifier option by reviewing our compare charts.

An example of an integrated humidifier is the PR System One Heated Humidifier as seen below attached to one of the PR System One line of CPAP machines.

What is a built in humidifier?

A "built in" humidifier is designed so that it is part of the CPAP machine and cannot be removed or separated from the CPAP machine. This is similar to an all-in-one unit eliminating the need for a second hose or second power cord. Usually the water chamber can be removed for cleaning or replacement purposes.

The advantage of a "built-in" humidifier is a more compact unit that uses fewer parts. This design also helps to ensure therapy effectiveness by including the heated humidifier which may provide comfort to the CPAP user they may not have received otherwise.

A disadvantage is that they may produce less moisture if used as passover humidifiers because the surface area is typically smaller. Also, since the humidifier is "built in" to the machine, the ability to detach the humidifier is not an option. This can be an issue for frequent travelers. Lastly, if the machine or humidifier stops working, the entire unit must be sent in for repair or replaced, not just the component that failed.

An example of a machine with a built in humidifier is the Sandman Info HC CPAP Machine with Built In Heated Humidifier as seen below.

What is a stand alone humidifier?

A stand-alone humidifier is a component that will work with any CPAP and does not attach directly to the CPAP. It uses its own power cord and typically a short hose is used to connect it to the CPAP. Usually it would sit next to the CPAP machine and is slightly larger than an integrated humidifier.

The advantage of a stand-alone humidifier is superior humidity and control and often a larger water capacity with the chamber. Also, the fact they may be used with any CPAP machine can be useful.

The main disadvantage is that the size is often larger than either a "built in" or integrated humidifier with the short hose are needed to connect it to the CPAP machine.

An example of a stand alone humidifier is the Fisher & Paykel HC150 Heated Humidifier as seen below.

What is rainout?

Rainout is the accumulation of water in a CPAP tube due to warm moist air cooling on its way from your CPAP machine to your CPAP mask.

The image below from Fisher & Paykel explains how rainout is formed. Warm moist air leaves the heated humidifier and travels down the CPAP tube. As the air travels down the tube the room temperature can cool the tube and therefore cool the air traveling down the tube. As the air cools, the air released its moisture and condensation occurs, otherwise known as rainout.

Solutions to rainout include:

Raising the temperature of your bedroom.
Keep your CPAP machine at the same level as your bed.
Insulating your tubing with a hose cover like Snugglehose.
Purchasing a CPAP machine with a rainout reduction comfort feature.

How do I care for my humidifier?

The only care the humidifiers require is that you empty and clean the water tank after use in the morning. Be sure to use distilled water only in the tank.

Why do I need to use distilled water with in my humidifier tank?

Using distilled water helps keep your humidifier clean and mineral deposit free. If you were to use tap water, the water would evaporate to leave a hard white mineral deposit in your tank or lead to mold growth. Cases of lung disease have been connected to using contaminated well water in a CPAP humidifier.* Source

If you can't get distilled water where you live, use bottled water. You will need to rinse your tank out each morning and do not leave standing water in your tank between uses.

What does a humidifier prescription need to say?

Will my CPAP operate on DC / battery power?

All CPAPs will operate on DC power with the use of an inverter to change the current from DC to AC before it reaches the machine. However, many will operate on DC power without the need for an inverter, just a power cord that plugs into the CPAP and ends in a cigarette lighter plug.

Inverters do require a lot of power. If you need to use an inverter to run your machine on battery power, the inverter will probably take about half the life off the battery.

To determine if your CPAP will operate without an inverter, look for a DC outlet on the machine, either at the back or on the side, with a single opening directly in the center. It should be labeled "DC Power" or similar term. You can also review our Compare Charts to see if your machine has a optional DC cable option.

Will my CPAP operate overseas?

An adapter may be required to plug a US power cord into a wall outlet in a foreign country. CPAP.com sells an assortment pack of World Traveler Power Adapter Plugs, which allow CPAP machines to plug into different types of wall sockets found in different countries.

All the models CPAP.com sell contain power converters that enable the machine to operate on any AC current from 100 to 240 volts without any adjustment. Check with your dealer or manufacturer to see if your machine needs an external converter that lowers the voltage from 240 to 120 VAC.

How do I use a battery to operate my CPAP?

First you need to determine if your machine is configured to operate on DC power and has a DC power outlet. If your machine does have a DC power outlet and you want to run your marine battery, then you will need the correct DC cable for your machine and an adapter cable that fits over the cigarette lighter plug and ends in alligator clips.

CPAP.com sells complete battery kits with everything you need for your machine including the right cables for your machine and the battery. You can find the right battery kit for your machine here.

If your machine does not have a DC power outlet, then you will also need an inverter to be able to run your machine on battery power.

If you have questions about the specific power needs of your machine, review the "Power" tab on your machine's product page, or give us a call at 1-800-356-5221.

What type of battery should I use?

For longer battery use, we suggest a deep-cycle marine battery. A CPAP set at 10cm will usually run for about three nights before having to recharge a deep cycle marine battery. A car battery will usually run a machine for 8 hours and still start the car.

There are small, portable battery packs that will operate a CPAP set at 10cm for at least one night, or about eight hours. CPAP.com sells full battery kits that come with everything needed to run your machine off battery power including the right cables needed for your machine and a battery. You can find the battery kit for your machine here. On each battery kit page, you can input your machine and pressure setting to see an estimate battery life for your machine.

How do I prepare for plane travel with CPAP?

Your CPAP does NOT count against your carry on limits. Allow for an additional 10-20 minutes in security, not likely but it happens. If airport personnel ask about the CPAP, let them know politely that it is a medical device (a CPAP unit). Most of them understand what it is and that it is an exception to the normal rules. We provide a luggage tag for CPAP systems: http://www.cpap.com/productpage/medical-identification-luggage-tag-cpap-equipment.html

You can use your CPAP on board, just use batteries or make sure you're seated by a power outlet. You can call or reserve one of these seats online with most airlines. Alternatively visit Seat Guru , a website that works with most major airlines.

Be sure to bring spare parts and a back up mask. If you're in a bind, CPAP.com delivers all over the US and to most international destinations.

How do I prepare for international travel with CPAP?

To prepare for your international travel, be sure to:

Check the voltage of your destination. You may need a plug adapter for your machine.
Go ahead and pack spare parts to your equipment, CPAP.com can ship to most destinations around the world, but you may not want to additional wait and cost when you know you have a spare mask sitting at home.
