The Sandman Series uses Covidien's unique Adaptive Pressure Stability (APS) technology that limits the peak to peak variations of CPAP pressure when a user breathes in and out. Adaptive Pressure Stability responds quickly and accurately to several common conditions that result in changes from your prescribed pressure down to each breath.
Common conditions affecting Pressure
- Switching Masks
- Mask leaks
- Altitude
- Natural respiratory effort
- Barometric pressure
- Sleep stage
- Body position
Covidien also addresses the need for humidity, incorporating a built-in heated humidifier, together weighing only 2.75 pounds. The humidifier is located to the rear of the CPAP with a water chamber that is easy to clean. Using a new technology, HumidControl, the humidifier provides the best temperature according to the relative humidity outside the water chamber. This prevents water from collecting in the CPAP hose and keeps the humidification level constant throughout the night.

This system operates automatically between 110v and 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 that power.
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. World Traveler Power Adapter Plugs.
Universal 12 Volt DC Power Cord
This machine come 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. The IntelliPAP can be powered by plugging the 12volt DC Power Cord into a cigarette lighter plug. This is ideal for traveling by car, boat, or recreational vehicle that is equipped with a cigarette lighter plug.
CPAP.com Battery Kit with Universal 12 Volt DC Cable
The 2.5 lb CPAP.com Battery Pack is surprisingly small and lightweight. The lithium ion battery can be recharged at any discharge level without losing charge time due to battery memory loss. This battery has been approved by the United Nations and Department of Transportation as tested safe for travel. This battery kit comes with the CPAP.com battery and the 12 Volt DC Power Cord.
Respironics Battery Kit with Universal 12 Volt DC Cable
This portable battery pack is an external lead acid battery that is the ultimate in power, portability and convenience. This battery kit comes with the Respironics battery and the 12 Volt DC Power Cord (connects CPAP to cigarette lighter socket).
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.

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.

I bought this machine primarily for travel but also as a back-up unit. I just returned from vacation and was very pleased with its portability, small size, and carrying case. It is not quite as quiet as my Goodnight 420S but certainly not objectionable. There is a slight whistle with every breath I take. I'm pleased with my purchase.
Appears to be a bit noisy at first, but not as loud as others. Case could use a remodel. This unait will be used from mostly traveling and I believe the case could be hals the size and still work.
Ridiculously quiet and very portable unit. I was hesitant to try this brand as my MD had Rxed Respironics machines in the past and did not believe this machine could be as good because the others were much more expensive. Bottom line is that marketing and branding works. It also adds $ to the cost. Love this unit.
I was so surprised when I used my Sandman Intro for the first time. It was so quiet I could hear the outside noises for the first time in years. I really like that it is so light and compact. It is also easy to set up.
The size and appearance of this unit is nice. It is a little noisier than I had expected, not sure if that is the humidifier part or not. The one I had before did not have the humidifier and was quieter. Good value.
I purchased my Sandman about a month ago. The price was the lowest I found anywhere and to me the product is worth 10 times more than the price I paid! The machine came in a very nice travel case and was fully programmed with my RX and really about all we had to do was fill it with water and plug it in.....my husband and I both were surprised at how easy it was to get set up. My husband is a very light sleeper and we were afraid I would not be able to sleep in the room with him due to the noise of the machine. The first night was a dream, neither of us even noticed the noise it was so peaceful. Thanks to my new Sandman my husband and I can enjoy sleeping together for the first time in about a year !!! I would strongly recommend this machine to anyone, even a first time user like me. I don't think I will ever try another machine. Thank Sandman !!!!
I am a new cpap user and this is my first machine. All in all it is a nice unit. Pretty quiet, much quieter than the unit my doct at the sleep trial used! The only negative I have found is that the humidifier tank does not snap into position verry well! The little tabs that hold the tank in place just don't seem to grab all the time. Otherwise I have no complaints with this litre unit.
I was looking for something compact and lightweight. The Sandman Intro CPAP is a great space saver. I am very pleased with it's performance although I am still learning how to operate it. My only complaint is that the noise level increases as the air pressure reaches its maximum level. But this is alrigh since it doesn't wake me up during the night.
When I received my first Sandman it did not work. It kept shutting itself off and registered that the motor was running too hot after 2 seconds. I called the manufacturer tech support and he asked several questions and then replied that the machine was defective and to return it for a new one. I was a bit leary of getting a second one after the first but was happy I did. I have had it for a few weeks now and it is wonderful. It is much quieter and smaller than my old one and I am totaly satisfied.
Easy to setup. Very light, easy to carry lighter than a laptop, Quite and easy to clean.
