Smaller CPAP good with NasalAireII Prongs? - JLUS - 12-14-2016
I currently use a very old (10 yrs+) ResMed VPAP and want to switch to a smaller,lighter weight CPAP (or auto) as I travel quite a lot. I use NasalAire II Nasal Prongs so want something compatible.
Want a humidifier as well.
Thoughts?
Suggestions??
THANKS!
Laurie

Hi JLUS,
Any mask can be used with any brand machine, so that is your choice or what you are comfy with.
Here is a link to guide you in choosing a new cpap, preferably an APAP. Be sure you are buying a data capable machine so you can track your therapy.

Some things to consider:
Are you going through insurance?
If you don't have insurance or don't have good coverage with a high deductible, you would do better to self pay.
Do you have a copy of your prescription?
Do your research first, and know what you want before letting a Doctor or DME pawn off a "brick", this is a machine that is not data capable.
