Universal Power

The Respironics Legacy BiPAP 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.

Respironics RP-DC Power Adapter

Respironics Legacy BiPAP machines come equipped with a DC plug on the back of the unit. This allows the user to connect the BiPAP to an external DC battery source. This cord is ideal for travel by recreational vehicle, boat, or any external DC batter that is equipped with a cigarette lighter plug.

Respironics Battery Kit for Respironics Legacy BiPAP Machines.

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 Respironics RP-DC Power Adapter.

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.

BiPAP Pro With Bi-Flex

This is a replacement machine for one I had stolen, I guess they are more popular than I thought. It is exactly like my old machine except for the insertable reader card. (The duplicate of my old machine was not in stock so cpap.com upgraded me to this model at no extra charge.) This machine and the technology employed to vary air pressures is incredible. It seems just a bit quieter than my old machine and it works great, right out of the box.

Cpap for uncle

I purchased the machine for my uncle in Mexico. My experience with your company was very good. You responded to my emails quickly and when the order finally went through (you needed a precription that took some time for us to get from Mexico) I received the machine shortly afterwards. My uncles son was here at the time, so he took it back to Mexico with him. The handy case was excelent for this purpose. I trust my uncle will be very happy with the machine. He rented on to see if the results would merit purchasing one, and the doctor highly recomended it. Thank you for your excelent customer service. Sincerely, Maria E Torres for Alfonso Olaiz

BiPaP Pro 2 with Bi-Flex and humidiier

I had just bought this machine, i feel the effects of it within just a few hours the first time I used it. It is great for night, because your lungs are set to breathe for the morning and afternoon, or you might want to use a little bit of it in the afternoon. This product is a like a tredmil for your lungs. The product itself is like the Lexus's of BiPap machines. And with the humidifier, you can only know how it feels if you use it. Its like smelling coffee right off the cup, not from far away. (get the picture)

The machine works pretty well. I have a couple concerns regarding its performance. 1) I don't feel like the pressure after you exhale "pushes" enough to make sure you inhale properly instead gasping. 2) My settings are 20/16, and the screen shows that I am getting the IPAP 20 but the EPAP doesn't push out 16, but the settings show that it is at 16. The machine is nice and quiet, not too bulky, and is easy to use.
