Word of Caution to ResMed S8 and S8 II Machine Users
YOU MUST USE the DC-12 Converter For S8 Machines when drawing power directly from a DC battery source (no inverter and no humidifier). Failure to do so can result in damage to your CPAP. ResMed S8 machines with a Humidaire heated humidifier (h3i and H4i) require a pure AC power source in order for the humidifier to work properly. The machine disables the humidifier when connected through DC Power. The machine and humidifier will both work properly only when connected to pure A/C power. You will need the DC to AC Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter to operate both.

Word of Caution to RESmed S8 and S8 II Machine Users
YOU MUST USE THE DC12 Converter for S8 Machines in conjunction with any battery source, when using an S8 or S8 II machine. Failure to do so can result in damage to your CPAP.
You should be aware that some interface devices with narrow tubes, such as the Nasal Aire or the Breeze with Nasal Pillows, may have an impact on the ability of this and other auto CPAPs to accurately respond to airflow restrictions during use.
SmartStart enables your device to start automatically by breathing into the mask. Leak alert indicates when a high mask leak is present.
If you have enabled Leak Alert, the SmartStart feature automatically becomes disabled. You cannot have both features enabled.
A ResMed DC-12 Converter For S8 Machines must be used with the 12 volt jack. Any other cable will likely cause a machine failure.
CPAP machines come with a six foot hose, a travel bag and manuals. Masks are not included and must be purchased separately. We will be happy to help you with sizing and offer suggestions on current popular masks.
Do not run this machine on a regular AC to DC inverter. A pure sine wave inverter must be used. We sell these on the website.
The EPR and Auto features cannot be used simultaneously.
All S8 and S8 II CPAP Machines utilize a "Cool Down" feature that runs the CPAP Motor up to 1 hour after turning the machine off. The motor helps to cool off the humidifier plate. You may hear a "faint blowing sound" when you turn the machine off. However, you can unplug the power cord and allow the heater plate to cool without airflow.
Leak Alert
Leak alert indicates when a mask is leaking as a result from a poor seal, open mouth or the complete removal of a mask. The alert is audible as well as visible on the machine's LCD display. This is one of the loudest and audible alerts on the market!

Universal Power
The S8 Series CPAP machines operate 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.

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.
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.
I first tried this machine when my Remstar had to go in for warranty work and this was a loaner. I loved it then for it is so quiet, easy to use, compact, and worked great. My Remstar then bit the dust and was out of warranty, so I needed to purchase a new machine. Lucky for me, this one was on sale and i got a great deal. I have had it for a week and it is great. No regrets and it is quieter than my Remstar ever was. It is a great choice.
All aspects of the buying process were made easy and I was kept informed by e-mail promptly regarding the ordering, the delivery and the performance. I was pleased with the person taking the order and will surely use this company again for my next purchase, be it major or minor. The machine has exceeded my expectations and would recommend it to all.
I purchased this Resmed machine although I previously had a Remstar M series machine. This machine is good, although I see some differences between the two. The price however, was excellent albeit it was a closeout as they have a newer model now. I'm still very happy with the one I got.
I only will be using all the products I bought from you, in the beginning of next year, so, for the time being, I can't make any comment about them.
This got here quickly and in great condition. The only drawback that I've noticed so far - my old CPAP had a light that indicated when the heater for the humidifier was on--with this one I have to look at the display--which is not done while laying down. I've tested this one with lower settings (5-10) and it was fairly quiet. I now have the settings I'm supposed to have (10-15) and it is louder but so very much quieter than the older model I used to have. I also like the carry case that it comes with--and overall it is so much lighter in weight than the one I've used for the past 5 years.
no words!!! except PERFECT and CONFORTABLE
I got my Resmed Vantage last week as replaceplacement of my old cpap that I have had for ten years. It is quiet and the auto adjust really helps me sleep better. The price was great and was one the main factor in my decission to purchase this machine. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a good machine at a good price.
I have Sleep Apnea only during REM, and this product makes using CPAP much more tolerable. Ramps on other machines start too low for comfort and don't last long. With this machine, I set a moderate starting pressure and it only goes higher when I need it. I'm really glad bought it.
Much easier to use than having to program the machine. Works great, no noise, humidifier connects easily and is so small that I will be able to travel with it effectively
Exelent quiet device
Finally, a company that offers tremendous discounts on CPAP equipment. They also get it to you when they say they will. My equipment was almost a thousand dollars less than every other place I looked. It was the same equipment. Maybe they sprinkle ferry dust on their equipment to make it more special. Who knows. Anyway, I have definitely been spreading the word about the service at CPAP.com. I will be a returning customer. Thank You for restoring my faith in medical equipment companies.
Excellent product. I had used the Compact model for two years and was very satisfied with it, so when I wanted a second machine for my second home I ordered the Auto model. It works even better than my Compact unit.
