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.

"I'am happy with the product I purchased and the customer service as well. Purchasing the item was easy and fast and if I had to rate the whole service from beginning to end I give it a five.I would like to mention that I currently have Medicare part A and B but I had to wait until November so it would be covered. But I couldn't wait that long so I decided to pay for it myself and hope I would be reimbursed. Let me mention to you the same hospital that did my sleep study was charging me an outrageous price lower end model and I was giving a deposit of $975 and still I had the balance of $270.00. the hospital told me that's the best deal I'm going to get I was told not to mention this to any of the people that was working there my wife is my witness the Dr. Himself told me on being ripped off he suggested to me two come to this web site I was surprised to hear that coming out of his mouth being that he works for the hospital he told me you didn't hear it from me. ha..ha isn't that crazy that goes to show you there are still doctors out there that care and not just in it for the money. Thank god for his honesty I was going to pay that price because you can't put a price on your health i rather pay than continue suffering. Back to the pricing I got ResMed S8 Vantage Auto CPAP with the humidifier and I saved around $380 thats what you call saving big time. now I know where I'll be sending someone in my similar situation to save money. And I got the better model not an old one. Thank you cpap.com"

"This machine is awesome. I decided it was a good idea travel/backup so I got the same as what I am currently using for the last 3-4 months. My script is for 7-14 and the Vantage usually has me around 11-12 but have had it up to 14 from time to time. I have never woken up with the feeling of not getting a good nights sleep as it has always adjusted to the pressure that I need. Shipping was a bit of an issue but Eva at cpap.com did a great job on helping out with the issue."
