Return Label (For Broken Machine)

Loaner machines are offered for rent to customers whose machine purchased from CPAP.com is in need of repair. The loaner machine provides a cost effective means of obtaining a short term substitute machine. Renting a short term loaner machine makes sense if you do not want to purchase a backup machine outright, but still want to ensure that you receive effective therapy.

You may use the loaner machine provided until your original machine is returned to you. Included in the shipment is a return shipping label. It is used to return your broken machine to us for repairs. A second return label will be issued with the return of your repaired machine so you may return the loaner to us.

The machine will be the same type but may not be the exact same make and model as your current machine. It will be sanitized by our in house technicians and will contain brand new disposable, reusable and bacteria filters. If you choose to upgrade to a heated humidifier, it will be stand alone or integrated as stock allows.

The loaner program is subject to the CPAP.com Loaner Policy.

When choosing your shipping method, please keep in mind that same day shipments are made Monday through Friday only excluding holidays.

Loaners are available to customers who purchased the machine which is malfunctioning from CPAP.com. If you are using the loaner service, we have your prescription on file from the original purchase of the machine. There is no need to send a prescription again.

Stand alone heated humidifiers are a good upgrade for your loaner machine and are available for purchase in the Loaner section.

Which CPAP masks work on which machines?

Any mask will work with any machine, with one important exception. The ResMed AirMini is only compatible with certain ResMed CPAP masks. Compatible masks for the AirMini are as follows:

ResMed AirFit™ N20 Nasal Mask
ResMed AirFit™ F20 Full Face
ResMed AirTouch™ F20 Full Face
ResMed AirFit™ P10 Nasal Pillow

When considering another CPAP, APAP or BiPAP machine from ResMed or any other manufacturer, mask compatibility extends to all brands. The AirMini uses non-standard tubing to connect the machine to the mask, and is the primary reason why other masks won't work with the AirMini. Despite this issue, many of our customers consider the AirMini to be an excellent machine.

How do I choose the machine that is right for me?

What comes with my machine?

Machines come with a six foot hose, power cord, at least one filter, and manuals. Most manufacturers include a carrying case which is designed specifically for their equipment. CPAP, APAP, and BiPAP machines do not come with a delivery system or mask. CPAP masks must be purchased separately.

To see the list of what specifically comes with each machine, you can Browse for a machine. Then on the product page, click the "Specs" tab to see a full list of what comes with the machine.

Are prescriptions required for mask, machine, humidifier, and EPAP purchases?

Yes. Federal law requires we have a valid prescription on file before we ship your mask, machine, humidifier, or EPAP therapy, including Provent and Bongo RX. You will also need a prescription to purchase the Nightbalance POSA device.

We provide many easy ways to get your prescription:

We can request your prescription for you! When you checkout, just let us know you would like us to request your prescription, or you can log into your account to have us request your prescription.
Fax your prescription to our toll-free fax number: 866.353.2727, or our international fax number: 713.541.7377
Email your prescription to cpap@cpap.com
Upload your prescription in your account, under the Prescriptions Section
Ask your doctor to fill out our prescription form. We have both a standard prescription form and an EPAP prescription form.

For more information on prescriptions, please see our Prescription Section of the Learning Center.

What maintenance is required on machines?

The only care a CPAP, APAP or BiPAP machine requires is to clean or change the filters at the air intake. This keeps the internal parts from accumulating dust. Fine paper filters should be changed out every 30 days, or when they appear soiled. Foam washable filters should be rinsed with clear running water once a week, allowed to air dry, and reinserted.

Here are some other suggested actions to care for your machine:

Keep the area around your machine clean by removing any dust from the area to improve the air quality delivered to your machine and to you.
Keep the air intake of the machine unblocked. Curtains, bedding, and papers can easily block the air intake of your machine, reducing the airflow.
If a humidifier is used with your therapy, do not pick up the machine with the humidifier attached. With most machines it is easy to spill water from the humidifier chamber into the machine causing damage. Manufacturer warranties are voided by water damage to the machine. To avoid this, remove the chamber from the humidifier and then remove the humidifier from the machine rather than transporting them together.
If a humidifier is used, empty the water from the chamber every morning. Accidents happen. If a family pet or family member moves the machine and humidifier with water in the chamber it is more likely that water could be spilled into your machine. Water damage to a machine voids the manufacturer warranty.

What does CPAP therapy do?

CPAP therapy provides a constant airflow which holds the airway open so that uninterrupted breathing is maintained during sleep. It is traditionally provided through a nasal mask that seals around the nose to maintain the pressure level.

What is exhalation relief?

Exhalation relief is a comfort feature which reduces the air flow at the time of exhalation, making the breathing process more natural.

The following are the different types of exhalation relief names by manufacturer.

Philips Respironics = C-Flex, C-Flex+, A-Flex and Bi-Flex
Resmed = EPR (Expiratory Pressure Relief)
3B Medical = RESlex
Apex Medical = PVA (Pressure Variation Algorithm) Pressure Relief
Curative Medical = EUT (Expiratory Unloading Technology)
DeVilbiss = SmartFlex
Fisher & Paykel = SensAwake Technology
Human Design Medical = Z-Breathe
Somnetics = EZEX

Here are some machines with an exhalation relief feature:

Transcend Auto miniCPAP™ Machine with EZEX
PR System One REMStar 60 Series Auto with Bluetooth
AirSense™ 10 AutoSet CPAP Machine with HumidAir™ Heated Humidifier

What is the difference BiPAP and BiPAP ST?

A BiPAP (also referred to as a BiLevel or VPAP) delivers two set pressures, a higher pressure for inhalation and a lower pressure for exhalation.

BiPAP and BiPAP ST machines are similar, as they are both designed to provide the same airway pressure. The difference between a BiPAP and a BiPAP ST is the Spontaneous Timed feature. The ST responds to the user when the minimum number of breaths per minute has not been met. This machine ensures all breaths occur by triggering the user to take another breath within the minute.

For example, a BiPAP might be set at the following:

Inhalation Pressure - 10
Exhalation Pressure - 5

In this case, a BiPAP will provide an IPAP of 10 and EPAP of 5.

A BiPAP ST might be set at the following:

Inhalation Pressure - 10
Exhalation Pressure - 5
12 BPM (Breath Per Minute)

Similarly to the regular BiPAP, the BiPAP ST will provide an IPAP of 10 and EPAP of 5, and will additionally monitor if you inhale 12 times within the minute. Please Note: The ST will not breathe for you, rather it will prompt the user to take a breath.

What does a BiPAP prescription need to say?

A BiPAP prescription must contain all of the following information:

One of the following words or phrases: "BiPAP", "BiLevel", "VPAP"
Your physician's contact information
Your physician's signature
The patient's full name
Your inspiration pressure (Also called IPAP or breathing in pressure)
- Example: IPAP 13 CM/H20
- Example: IPAP 13
- Example: IPAP 4 CM/H20
- Example: IPAP 4
Your expiration pressure (Also called EPAP or breathing out pressure)
- Example: EPAP 13 CM/H20
- Example: EPAP 13
- Example: EPAP 18 CM/H2O
- Example: EPAP 18
