New: DreamStation Go portable PAP - chill - 01-31-2017 I just noticed this and had not seen it here before. Phillips claims:
RE: New: DreamStation Go portable PAP - JinMHK - 01-31-2017 Oooooo, Pretty! Looks like it isn't available quite yet, though. Wonder what the price difference will be for the travel battery for this, or the "regular" DreamStation.

RE: New: DreamStation Go portable PAP - chill - 01-31-2017 I find the "micro-flexible tubing" interesting as the tube and mask take up considerable room when travelling. RE: New: DreamStation Go portable PAP - C0mbe - 01-31-2017 It would be interesting to compare this to the new Resmed Airmini but I don't think there is very much info on that.

It's probably not a coincidence that both companies are coming out with a competitive entry in the travel category. Just a guess, but I would bet Philips stays with a 12 volt scheme that will be more flexible in non-proprietary batteries and cables vs Resmed, which I expect will retain the 24 volt power and need for their proprietary system. This could make a huge dollar difference in the full system. I also wonder if these have external power supplies, and whether they are also down-sized. RE: New: DreamStation Go portable PAP - DeepBreathing - 01-31-2017 I notice the Respironics name is missing. Is this a new trend by Philips to consolidate their branding? The narrow hose is interesting - it's the hose, mask and power brick which take up the most space when travelling, so any moves to reduce the bulk of these items would be welcome. RE: New: DreamStation Go portable PAP - Cbarrios - 01-31-2017 PAP, as in CPAP and APAP? RE: New: DreamStation Go portable PAP - Fedman - 01-31-2017 I dunno what the big deal is. Airing will kick butt and fit in your pocket when traveling. No hoses, no masks, no hassle. Just a minor inconvenience due to the fact that they don't have a prototype yet. But hey. Keep sending them money and CPAP will be come obsolete. Give it about 200 years and we'll see that prototype! |
