C-Flex vs. Traditional CPAP: Brown University Study

The older Remstar Pro does not record Apnea Hypopnea Index, Leak, or Snore. The two machines are otherwise identical.

Download the Smart Card to you computer with additional purchase of Respironics EncoreViewer Software 1.0 & Smart Card Reader from the Software category of our Browse Products section.

It is also possible to take the Smart Card to your Sleep Lab or Sleep Doctor and they could read and interpret the data on the card.

Universal Power

The REMstar Pro 2 C-Flex 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 the power needed.

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.

DC Power (Cigarette Lighter Adapter)

The REMstar Pro 2 C-Flex comes equipped with a DC plug on the back of the unit. This allows the user to connect the CPAP to an external DC battery source.

Using a Respironics, 12volt DC Power Cord the REMstar Pro 2 C-Flex can be powered by plugging into a cigarette lighter plug. This is ideal for traveling by car, boat, or recreational vehicle that is equipped with a cigarette lighter plug.

DC Power (Marine Deep Cycle Battery)

It is recommended that you use a 100 amp hour, 12v DC deep cycle marine battery for operating you CPAP machine when not connected to 110v AC /230v AC.

There are two cables needed to configure the REMstar Pro 2 C-Flex with a Marine Deep Cycle Battery. They fit together to make a connection from the back of the REMstar Pro 2 C-Flex to the battery clip terminals on the marine battery.

Here are the links to the cables needed to hook up to a marine style battery. Both cables are needed.

Respironics Battery Pack

The Respironics Battery Pack has been a long standing favorite of our customer’s. It weighs in at 13lbs and can be carried easily with its shoulder strap.

This battery pack will give roughly 26 hours of use, depending on the cpap pressure setting. (Results may vary.)

great machine   April 30, 2008 (5 out of 5) by Johannah - VA "I purchased the PRO 2 to replace my M-series machine so that I would have an extra machine to travel with (the M-series will be used to travel with) and also so that I could get a more detailed report from my EncoreViewer software. It is very quiet, a little large, but overall it is awesome, especially for the data I can get from the smartcard. I recommend it." 2 of 2 found the review helpful. Was this review helpful for you?

Quiet Operation   November 18, 2007 (5 out of 5) by Jerry F. "The "Classic" or "Tank" model REMstar is my personal choice after trying several CPAPs. It is quieter and holds more water in the heated humidifier than the M series. The Pro 2 version has the data recording capability which is helpful in analyzing my sleep patterns." 1 of 2 found the review helpful.
