Learn More About Your New Machine

Designed to be the most comfortable therapy available, the ResMed S8 VPAP Auto is simple and easy to use. One-touch settings and simple set-up make this machine very attractive since the AutoSet algorithm works on a breath per breath basis, and automatically adjusts to find the lowest required pressure needed preventing most snoring and apnea events. Take advantage of the new Easy-Breathe technology which offers smoother, comfortable pressure by synchronizing with the CPAP user's normal breathing patterns allowing for a natural and stable breath.

A combination of AutoSet and VPAP Adapt SV technologies, the S8 VPAP Auto merges ResMed's latest innovations achieving an extremely comfortable therapy and also makes sure to deliver the pressure you need, when you need it. The VPAP Auto uses AutoSet technology, which adjusts automatically using ResMed's unique algorithms and was engineered to prevent obstructions before they occur by responding quickly and accurately to flow limitations. It is so consistent in response to events it often adjusts on the very next breath after a flow limitation or obstruction.

The S8 VPAP Auto uses Easy-Breathe Technology to makes breathing more natural with smooth pressure waveforms taken from the VPAP Adapt SV, which imitates normal respiration and ultimately makes breathing more comfortable than traditional CPAP or BiLevel machines. The transition from EPAP to IPAP pressures is gentle and slides into a physiologic exhalation curve which has a very natural feel.

The machine is suited with three mode options, VAuto, Spontaneous, and CPAP, proving to be one of the most flexible flow generators in the market, delivering all of the comfort available for successful compliance and treatment.

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.

DC to AC Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter for Resmed S8 Machines

ResMed S8 machines are required to use a pure sine wave AC power source when connecting through an inverter; particularly, the ResMed S8 Compact is not DC compatible and must plug into a wall socket. The DC to AC Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter provides clean AC power to any CPAP. You will need this product to operate the S8 Compact or any other S8 machine using the standard AC plug.

Cool Down Feature

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.

SmartStart

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.

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!

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?
We provide our customers with many tools to make informed decisions about their machine purchases. Options include:
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

What are the CPAP, BiPAP, Sleep Apnea, and Oxygen related HCPCS, CPT or billing codes?

E1399 is Miscellaneous and is used for other CPAP and Oxygen items.
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.
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.
What is ramp?
The ramp button on a machine is a feature that allows for a gradual pressure build-up to your prescribed pressure. The feature is enjoyed by those with high pressures because it eases up to their pressure.

V-PAP Auto - RESMED

Verified purchase | Jan. 24, 2009 | Verified CPAP.com Customer
I have used bi-pap machines for six years now to assist me in sleeping due to sleep apnea and congestive heart failure. Bi-pap machines ordinarily require programming based upon a sleep study by your doctor. The V-Pap is automatic and will adjust for your personal breathing through the night. I highly recommend this product for people who require a bi-pap machine.

CSA mitigation

Verified purchase | Jun. 20, 2008 | Verified CPAP.com Customer
If the unit continues to work as well for the later portion of the study, it will replace an infinately more expensive machine. Experiement to see if the VPAP Auto could mitigate apnea componded by CSA--not necessarily to cure CSA. See if reduction of aggrevating apnea events, that are not CSA, would contribute to enough quality sleep for either or all of: out-door overnight events, as a home back-up unit, or upon possibly for general home use. Initial results: Expiratory overpressure (if there is such a thing--I'm not a clinition) seemed to aggravate CSA. But the VPAP AutoSet can be adjusted to limit mamimum pressures and inspratory/expiratory pressure differentials. There is also a trigger sensitivity adjustment. I have found that VPAP Auto can be adjusted to detect minute triggers that might otherwise have contributed to a CSA event. Curious to note that the VPAP Auto user manual mentions that support pressure (differential inspiratory /expiratory amplitude) exceeding 10mm H2O is prohibited by the unit because it IS known to aggrevate CSA. In my case, devide that number by two--and the VPAP Auto facilitated the adjustment. Of course having a feel for my own profile came about from prior VPAP Auto SV experience, and reports. While the SV places the pressure transducer sense line near the mask, without that, the VPAP Auto must trigger via transducer activated by back-pressure differentials through the tube. However, the VPAP Auto also provides a timming window for its trigger that can be adjusted between the support pressure differential ramp and expiratory settle-out. This allows the tube pressure to baseline prior to detecting the slightest effort to breathe. Cool huh? The other machine is simply too expensive to not consider this study. I would had to have paid the deductable again any way, so it would all be sixes if the VPAP Auto did not work. However, not only does it seem to be working--but it is working quite well!
