Simple Device with Deluxe Features

Smaller and quieter than several devices on the market, the DeVilbiss IntelliPAP AutoAdjust CPAP device is easy to use and features just three large buttons for operation.

Use SmartCode Function to Determine Therapy Results

Instead of purchasing expensive software, you can track sleep performance through SmartCode, which uses a unique encrypted code displayed on this DeVilbiss CPAP machine’s back-lit LCD screen to communicate therapy effectiveness and compliance with your Adherence Score.

Easy Inhale and Exhale Pressure Relief Technology Reduces Sleep Disruptions

Personalize how prescribed pressure is administered with SmartFlex, which offers three levels of customizable pressure reduction and six tailored transition options for inhalation and exhalation. Automatic detection technologies like SmartFlex are designed to enhance comfort and help you breathe easier against your prescription pressure setting. The IntelliPAP Auto also uses flow rounding to prevent adverse pressure changes by smoothing the pressure waveform during the transition to and from the SmartFlex setting, which helps to reduce sleep cycle disruptions during CPAP therapy.

With Travel-Savvy Functionality, Roam Where You Want To

Whether camping by a creek or resting in a vacation hotel room, this auto CPAP machine offers a backup battery pack option that converts to a DC power source without interrupting therapy, automatic altitude adjustment, and a bag to store all your equipment and accessories. Keep in mind that the heated humidifier will not function on DC power.

Complimentary Heated Humidification System Offers More Comfortable Sleep

Avoid nasal congestion or throat discomfort during sleep therapy with the IntelliPAP AutoAdjust's free heated humidifier, which offers soothing, warm air and continuous hydration.

On-Board Memory and SD Card Requirements

The IntelliPAP AutoAdjust stores up to 90 days of therapy data and up to 3 years of usage data. If an SD memory card is used to retrieve data from the machine it must be a file format of FAT16. CPAP.com offers this card: SD Memory Card for IntelliPAP Machines as an option. SD cards with other formats, such as an SDHC card formatted for FAT32, will not work with the IntelliPAP machine.

Bacteria Filters

A bacteria filter will not install directly to the air outlet port on the IntelliPAP Heated Humidifier. The filter is too bulky and there is not enough space. IntelliPAP humidifier owners can order the FlexiTube Angle Adapter for CPAP and BiPAP Machines to provide a spacer between the humidifier chamber and the bacteria filter. Your CPAP hose can then fit onto the other end of the bacteria filter.

Hose Length Settings

The IntelliPAP AutoAdjust CPAP has two hose length settings: 6 ft and 10 ft. If using an 8 ft hose, the manufacturer recommends using the 6 ft setting. The machine will still automatically adjust to the correct pressure using this setting with an 8 ft hose.

5 Year Manufacturer IntelliPAP Machine Warranty

DeVilbiss offers an industry-leading 5 (five) year manufacturer warranty on IntelliPAP machine orders placed on or after 2/15/2012.

If the order date for an IntelliPAP machine is 2/15/2012 or later it carries a 5-year manufacturer warranty.
If the order date for an IntelliPAP machine is 2/14/2012 or earlier it carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty.

Universal Power

The DeVilbiss IntelliPAP 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.

You'll 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.

IntelliPAP 12 volt DC Power Cord

The IntelliPAP Series 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.

Important Note: If you're trying to use the heated humidifier with the IntelliPAP series, you'll find the units cannot be operated from DC power. A modified sine wave inverter of at least 120VAC is necessary to power both the machine and humidifier from a DC power source. CPAP.com carries two inverters that would be compatible:

300 Watt DC to AC Power Inverter 400 Watt DC to AC Power Inverter

Battery Backup Option

Because the IntelliPAP machines use a separate connection for AC and DC power, they can be set up in a battery backup configuration. The AC power cord is plugged AC power source such as a wall outlet, and the optional IntelliPAP 12 Volt DC Power Cord is plugged into a DC power source such as a battery. The IntelliPAP will use the AC power source when available, otherwise will convert to the DC power source, without any interruption in therapy. If the AC power source becomes available again, the machine will revert back. If you're using the heated humidifier, it will not function from DC power.

Portable Outlet CPAP Battery

The Portable Outlet is a great way to power this CPAP machine, as well as many others. The Portable Outlet converts the battery's stored DC power into convenient outlet power, allowing you to power any CPAP machine or electrical device using the main power supply that came with the device. The Portable Outlet is so versatile it can power TVs, stereos, blenders... anything! It also includes convenient USB ports that allow you to charge your phone or tablet while charging your CPAP.

Freedom Travel Battery Pack for CPAP Machines

Weighing in at only 1.7 pounds the Freedom Battery is a terrific option for travel. Plus, the Freedom with a DC cable and connector peg suitable for use with the IntelliPAP AutoAdjust Travel CPAP Machine with SmartFlex so no need to purchase a separate DC cable. This lithium ion battery meets UN Manual Test and Criteria requirements for travel.

PLEASE NOTE: The IntelliPAP AutoAdjust CPAP Machine connects to the Freedom Battery using Tip "J". Tip "J" is included with the Freedom Battery.

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.

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.

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 does a CPAP prescription need to say?

A CPAP prescription must contain all of the following information:

One of the following words or phrases: "CPAP" or "Continuous Positive Airway Pressure"
Your physician's contact information
Your physician's signature
The patient's full name
Your specific pressure setting:
- Example: 9 CM/H2O
- Example: 9
- Example: 14 CM/H2O
- Example: 14

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 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
+ See More

Do all CPAPs use filters?

Yes, all CPAPs use at least one filter that is usually a type of foam material and washable. Some CPAPs offer finer filtration with the addition of a disposable paper filter.

Cleaning and changing filters is the only maintenance required for a CPAP machine.

The filters are located at the back of the machine at the air intake.

Intellipap review opinion

Having had the "high-priced" brand initially prescribed by my doctor and paid for by the insurance I happened to have then, I happily used it for many years until it finally quit. In searching around for a replacement that I would have to pay for, I was astounded at the cost of it, but then found the Devilbiss which IMHO gives 95% of the functionality as the high-priced brand at a much reduced price. About the only thing I could find different is that the high-priced one was able to produce more pressure but even then, my 'sleep doctor' had prescribed that the pressure be reduced anyway. I've now been using that "back up" DeVilbiss for years and just recently bought another one as backup.

IntelliPAP AutoAdjust CPAP Machine with SmartFlex IntelliPA

Small footprint, NO transformer to lug around while travelling. Can turn off lighted display, will come back on for a minute if you fiddle with the controls at night. Love the Smartflex, do not even use the ramp. Best of all it is super quiet! My old machine was kept in a box with a pillow over it to control the noise, I honesty can say I can not hear this machine at all!

Meets my expectations

This is my third or fourth APAP machine in the past 8 or so years. It's not fancy and it's not particularly sleek and travel friendly but it does everything I want a machine to do plus it is super quiet and comes with a 5 yr warranty for a super good sale price. I was a bit surprised that it doesn't have a SIM card, but then again I virtually never used that feature on my other machines. I considered buying the newer IntelliPap 2 for some of the added features but at an additional $100 in price, a shorter warranty period and a higher quoted noise level I didn't see much of a point.

Decent machine

This machine out of the box was easy to operate and set up. Lightweight and easy to move around. At times it's a bit too light, I have waken to the machine spun around. I was disappointed that my heated tube was unable to connect to it. It's not as quiet as I was hoping. It is quieter than my previous s9 Elite Resmed Cpap but louder than the Airsense 10 which is used by my wife next to me. The machine operation is quiet but you can hear the air flow as you breath. I have the optional humidifier and I thought that might be the problem but I disconnected the humidifier and it got louder. In order to lower the sound I placed a towel underneath the machine which reduced the noise by half. I think the lightweight plastic lends to more vibration noise. That's why a towel underneath reduces the noise some. This is my only complaint about this unit. That is why I gave it 4 stars.

SIMPLE

I already have the same machine that I have used for years, bought a second for "just in case". It doesn't have a lot of technological gimmickry to give me grief like some machines. The one thing I don't like is the display is bright at night, so I lay a cloth over it.

Love this machine!

I truly love this machine. It was the first self adjusting machine I used and it really is much better than non-adjusting machines. The logarithm turns off the pressure when you exhale, so breathing out is easy, then it turns on again when you inhale. The self adjusting feature leaves the pressure low when you don't need it and automatically increases pressure if there are apnea events. Whisper quiet, and the light can be adjusted to a different intensity if you prefer it darker in the room when sleeping. The filters are cheap, which encourages frequent changes, and the humidifier option is a nice touch.

Love this machine

I love this machine. I bought it to replace my Phillip Respironics System One CPAP machine which was giving me issues after six years of continuous use. It sits less than one foot from my head and I have to look at it in order to tell if it's on ... it's that quiet. I use the auto on and auto off features and they work flawlessly. I recommend this machine for anyone looking for a CPAP machine
