Learn More About Your New Machine

Imagine being able to tuck a CPAP machine with very quiet operation that weighs less than a can of soda into a brief case or tote. Think how easily CPAP therapy can be made part of an active lifestyle when the tiny machine has an optional lightweight, integrated battery system to use on the go. The Z1 Travel CPAP Machine makes it a reality. This is a single pressure CPAP machine and delivers one set pressure all night long. It includes advanced features found on much larger machines meeting therapy needs while traveling or at home.

Features

  • Small & Lightweight
  • Discrete Size & Shape
  • Quiet Operation
  • Z-Breathe Pressure Relief
  • Auto Altitude Adjusting
  • Leak Compensation
  • Ramp Feature
  • Z1 CPAP 15 Day Risk Free Trial
  • OPTIONAL Integrated Battery
  • Free Data Viewing Software

Tiny & Lightweight

The Z1 CPAP machine is the lightest on the market. Its small size makes this machine great for putting in a carry on, overnight bag or backpack for camping and hiking. When used at home, the small size takes up little room on the bedside table. Small rubber feet on the machine base help to stabilize the unit. It weighs just 10 ounces and measures 6.48" L x 3.3" W x 2.02" making it roughly the size of a can of soda.

Quiet Operations

The Z1 CPAP Machine operates at 26 dBA making it one of the quietest machines on the market. How quiet is 26 decibels? A very quiet room fan 3 feet away and set to a low speed is noted as 35dBA.

Advanced Features

  • Z-Breathe Pressure Relief: The Z1 CPAP machine offers a reduction in the air pressure to smooth the exhalation process making breathing with the machine a more natural process. Per the manufacturer, set Z-Breathe to 1 for gentle pressure relief, 2 for moderate pressure relief, and 3 for the most aggressive pressure relief. For more information about Z-Breathe, please see the ZBreathe Instructions.

    Please Note: Setting 3 is only available through the latest firmware upgrade. Z1 machines purchased prior to June 2014 will need to have the firmware updated to enable Setting 3. Please see the "Firmware Update" section below for instructions on how to install this update if needed.

  • Auto Altitude Adjustment: The Z1 CPAP machine can operate from sea level up to 8,000 feet above sea level. The machine automatically adjusts as needed to accommodate changes in elevation.

  • Leak Compensation: To help ensure the prescribe pressure is being met during therapy the Z1 machine adjusts the pressure to account for minor air leaks. If an excessive air leak is detected the word "REMINDER" is displayed on the screen. Correct the leak to remove the word reminder.

Ramp Feature

The Z1 CPAP machine includes a ramp feature that can be set from 0 to 45 minutes. This allows the therapy pressure to begin at a lower starting pressure and work up to the prescribed pressure. Many CPAP users find this a more comfortable way to fall to sleep. The machine can be set with or without a ramp time.

SD Cards Not Intended For Use with Z1 Machines

Please Note: The manufacturer recommends users not to use an SD card with the Z1 series of machines. The SD slot is intended for manufacturer testing purposes only. If the card is used, it may cause the machine to malfunction. Data accumulation is not affected by the SD slot as it is not intended to generate sleep results. Instead, use the USB cable along with the Data Viewer Software to view personal sleep records on the machine.

Plug Power Cord Into AC Adapter BEFORE Plugging Into Wall Outlet: Follow these steps for powering the Z1 Machine:

  • Initially, DO NOT plug the AC power cord into a wall outlet.
  • Step One: Plug the AC power cord into the AC Adapter.
  • Step Two: NOW Plug the AC power cord into a wall outlet.
  • Step Three: Plug the pin end of the AC Adapter into the Z1 machine.
  • When powering up the Z1 machine displays start messages.
  • Standby mode begins approximately 10 seconds later, the display will show Pressure cmH2o 0.0.

Sound Level Tips

Although the Z1 CPAP machines have a low decibel rating of 26 dBA, some users report a noticeable pitch from the machine's motor, which may be a result of its reduced size. Unlike larger machines, smaller travel CPAPs have less internal room and components to absorb the sound of the motor. To help reduce the sound of the motor, consider adding the Q-Tube In-Line CPAP Muffler Kit to the device.

Tube Adapter Tips

To avoid damange to the silicone gasket connection on the machine, please attach and detach the tube adapter gently from the machine. Using excessive force can create tears or damage to the silicone gasket which could prevent the machine from operating properly.

OPTIONAL Z1 PowerShell Use & Charging: Information about charging the battery and using the PowerShell is available on that product page: CLICK HERE.

The Z1 battery must be inserted into the PowerShell for charging. The Z1 CPAP machine is not required to be in the PowerShell to charge the battery. When the Z1 machine is inserted in the PowerShell with the battery, the charge information is displayed on the machine screen. The charge level of the battery cannot be determined if the machine is not inserted in the PowerShell. Battery run time varies based on the pressure setting of the machine.

PLEASE NOTE: When not in use, the manufacturer suggests removing the battery from the PowerShell, as battery charge will be depleted if connected.

Battery Backup Configuration:

Please Note: In a situation where a power outage is expected but not certain, the battery can be used as a failover. While AC power is available the battery will not lose life cycles.

The Z1 Travel CPAP machines can be connected to the OPTIONAL Powershell and to AC power without causing the lifespan of the battery to decrease. The battery is designed to provide AC power to the machine while it is available, and transition immediately to DC power from the battery if AC power should fail. Once AC power is restored, the battery will begin providing that power to the machine again.

OPTIONAL PowerShell & Battery Charge Bars: When the optional PowerShell and battery are used with the Z1, the machine display shows the amount of power remaining in the battery using a battery icon with solid bars. When the battery is charging the bars in the battery icon flash.

  • 1 Solid bar = 10-25% charge remaining
  • 2 Solid bar = 25-50% charge remaining
  • 3 Solid bar = 50-75% charge remaining
  • 4 Solid bar = 75-100% charge remaining

HME Compatibility Tips

Machine: The Heat Moisture Exchange Unit for CPAP Machines is universal, and it is compatible with all CPAP, APAP, or BiPAP machines.

Mask: When selecting a mask, please note the Heat Moisture Exchange Unit for CPAP Machines will not work with masks that have a short tube extended from the mask frame. The HME must be very close to the moisture of exhaled air to function properly. It must be connected to a mask with a simple elbow in order to give optimal results.

Slim Style 15mm Tube: The Z1 CPAP Machine requires the use of a Slim Style, 15mm tubing. It comes packaged with a 4 Foot Slim Style tube. Alternatively, any 15mm 6 Foot tube may be used. Here are some examples of 15mm 6 Foot tubes: Respironics Pure White Thin 6 Foot Performance CPAP/BiPAP Tubing (15mm) and Thin Style 6 Foot BreatheLight Tubing.

Length of HME Use: The manufacturer of the Z1 originally found the HME to only be suitable for one night's use, however after further research and testing it has been approved for up to seven night's usage. Be aware that some packaging and documentation may still state 24 hours, but all Z1 HME's may be used for up to 7 nights.

Z-Breathe Settings: The pressure relief setting Z-Breathe can be set to 1, 2 or 3. Please Note: Z-Breathe CANNOT be turned off. Set to 1 to receive the lowest drop in pressure at the time of exhalation.

OPTIONAL CPAP.com Small Carry Bag: The Z1 Travel CPAP does not include a carry bag. The CPAP.com Small Carry Bag is approximately 6 inches high by 5 1/2 inches wide by 5 inches deep and can hold the Z1 machine, power supply with outlet plug cord and hose adapter. It is padded on all sides including the top and has a removable shoulder strap, carry handle and belt handle. This bag WILL NOT hold a hose or mask.

Display Showing "REMINDER": The LCD of the the Z1 Machine will display "REMINDER" when there is an excessive air leak. This may display when a hose or mask is not attached or if the hose or mask cushion is damaged. The machine setting menu cannot be entered if a hose is not attached to the machine.

Not For Use With Supplemental Oxygen: The Z1 machine is NOT for use with supplemental oxygen or any other added gas. Do not use an oxygen tank or concentrator with the Z1 machine.

Disposable Air Filter: The Z1 uses a disposable air filter. It should not be washed and reused. Install the filter prior to using the Z1 machine. The filter should be changed monthly and the used filter discarded.

Z1 Button Design Change: The buttons on the front of the Z1 machine when through a design update in early June, 2014. The original style of machine button was a smooth surface with symbols printed in white on the button to indicate the function of the button. The updated button design features and embossed or raised symbol with no printing. The updated buttons are solid gray in color, no white printing. The two designs of buttons function the same. The updated design allows a user to determine the button function by touch in a darkened room.

Solar Charge: At this time the Z1 Machine and PowerShell CANNOT be charged using solar power. The manufacturer is working towards a solar charge solution, an expected date is not available.

Z1 AC Power: The Z1 Travel CPAP includes the AC Power Supply for Z1 Travel CPAP Machine. The power supply is comprised of two parts:

  1. Power Supply with Cord
  2. AC Power Cord

DC Power Options

The Z1 can be powered through a car battery or boat battery by using the DC Power Cord for Z1 CPAP Machines. PLEASE NOTE: the DC Power Cord for the Z1 Machines is NOT compatible with the Freedom Battery. The only way to connect the Z1 to the Freedom Travel Battery is by using a 150 W Sine Wave Inverter (Sold Separately). The DC Power Cord listed here, connects to the cigarette lighter plug in a car or boat, and allows you to draw DC power from these devices.

OPTIONAL Z1 PowerShell with Extended Life Battery

Enjoy the freedom of integrated battery power with the Z1 PowerShell with Extended Life Battery. The Extended PowerShell connects the Z1 CPAP machine and the battery in a compact, portable bundle.

Interested in a battery back up which kicks on in the event of a power failure? The Z1 machine and PowerShell offers it. Place the Z1 machine and battery in the PowerShell and plug into the wall outlet. The machine will be powered by the AC electricity, battery power will NOT be used. However, if there is a disruption in the AC power supply the battery power will automatically kick on to power the CPAP, creating a fail over system.

Manufacturer tests showed the Overnight Battery included with the PowerShell powered the Z1 CPAP Machine set to a pressure of 14cmH2O for 8 hours of use. Actual battery run time will vary based on machine pressure, machine settings, and personal breathing, with a manufacturer reported maximum run time of 14 hours. Manufacturer reports the battery will deliver at least a "full night." Manufacturer defines "full night" as 4 hours. Replacement battery modules are available for purchase.

The battery is charged in the PowerShell, with or without the machine in the shell. When charging the battery with the machine inserted into the shell the charge level is displayed on the machine's screen. Charging the battery without the machine in place does not provide information on the charge level. Please Note: The battery is NOT charging when the Z1 CPAP machine is turned on and blowing. The battery charges only when the machine is powered off.

Freedom Battery with 150W Sine Wave Inverter:

The Z1 Travel Machine is also compatible with the Freedom Travel Battery Pack ONLY if the 150W Sine Wave Inverter is purchased separately. The Z1 Machine cannot be used directly with the Freedom battery and requires an inverter; however, please keep in mind that using an inverter will reduce the battery's run time by half the projected amount.

Too much trouble.

Verified purchase | Feb. 18, 2023 | Verified CPAP.com Customer
Nothing but trouble with this machine. Under warranty and was replaced twice. This last time it needed new "internal battery" and firmware update for a cool $270. I said no thanks, I'm changing brands.

built in obsolence

Verified purchase | Sep. 01, 2022 | Verified CPAP.com Customer
I bought a HDM Z1 travel cpap machine in 2014 and used it about 3 or 4 times a year, so the usage was very light. I turned it on recently to use while travelling and found an error code 21 - no pressure data entered, and after numerous times of trying to reset the machine it has now changed to fault code 33 - over pressure. Basically after a day of research have found that there is an internal battery that runs out after a few years and that is the end of the machine. I will never buy and would advise any buyers looking at these machines to think again, from HDM or Breas who are the manufacturer of the Z1 and Z2 cpap machines. The customer service is non existent, and I am an extremely irate customer who feels ripped off and badly let down!

Left me high & dry for 2 trips (and 4+ weeks)

Verified purchase | Aug. 29, 2022 | Verified CPAP.com Customer
This was a workable travel cpap--until I unpacked it in France in July & got Error 33(or something?) & it was unusable. For 2 weeks. Online posts said it was dead battery for the date & time; but battery is a weird type & soldered in, so I had no cpap the whole trip. At home, my husband took it apart & changed the battery. Seemed to start up & function. I took it to Italy 6 weeks later--& same dead-from-the-gitgo Error 33 message disabling it. This is how you design a necessary medical device?! Almost 3 weeks more with no cpap on my long-awaited vacation! Not EVER buying another product from these people!

Nice package, but problematic

Verified purchase | Jul. 15, 2022 | Verified CPAP.com Customer
I've enjoyed using this CPAP on my travels in the US, elsewhere since 2016. It works great, but it finally quit working with no warning in March 2022. The last thing I want is a CPAP that fails when traveling, the very reason for this products existence. So even though the CPAP may be fixable (it appears to be a "software" problem) my confidence in the product is shot. I also dislike the battery package it works with. It is a hardshell contraption that simply takes up too much needed space. The battery can't even be stored in the shell when not in use. I f you do, you'll damage it. The company was great for getting the batteries repaired, but why do I want to deal with that? There was nothing on it to warn me about that problem. It's disappointing because overall, I liked the CPAP itself. If it was more reliable, I would rate it 5 stars.

Complete failure

Verified purchase | Jun. 10, 2019 | Verified CPAP.com Customer
I bought a Z1 in May 2016 to use for travel. I used it for a total of about 6 months in three years. In June 2019, one month out of warranty, I was staying at a hotel when I got a "Fault 66" error message and the machine would not work. I found info online about Fault 66 but it did not apply to my machine. I wrote to customer service and they said that my machine had a defect and that i would have to contact the seller and see if I could send it back for repairs and that I would have to pay shipping and repair costs. Fault 66 is common enough on other machines from this manufacturer that they have a fix for some of those machines that includes downloading software. Even if that would have fixed my machine, I had no way to do that at midnight at a hotel. I do not recommend this machine or this manufacturer at all.
