Most are incredibly light-weight, highly portable, and should work with your existing mask (especially if made by the same manufacturer as the machine itself).<\/p>\n<p>Many of these devices, like our personal favorite, the\u00a0ResMed AirMini\u2122 AutoSet Machine, even come with a stamp of approval from the FAA, meaning that you can use your machine\u00a0<em>while on the plane<\/em>!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hello, international flight!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1624482901871\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h2 class=\"rank-math-question \">Why the ResMed AirMini Is a Top Travel CPAP<\/h2>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n<p>Since you\u2019ll be carrying your device around a good bit from either the plane\/train\/automobile\/ to your hotel room\/cabin\/cabana, you most certainly want to be carrying the most lightweight device that you can find.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Which brings us to our all-time favorite and a cpapRX Bestseller:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>ResMed AirMini\u2122 AutoSet Machine<br \/>Weighing in at just over .5 pounds and small enough to fit into the palm of your hand, the AirMini is the perfect sleep apnea travel buddy. And as mentioned above the AirMini not only meets all FAA guidelines for carry-on but you can also use it while flying.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wc-block-featured-product alignnone has-background-dim has-background-dim-30 wp-block-woocommerce-featured-product\" data-block-name=\"woocommerce\/featured-product\" data-dim-ratio=\"30\" data-edit-mode=\"false\" data-product-id=\"4180\" data-show-desc=\"false\">\n<div class=\"wc-block-featured-product__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"background-dim__overlay\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wc-block-featured-product__title\">ResMed AirMini AutoSet Travel CPAP Features<\/h3>\n<div class=\"wc-block-featured-product__price\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"wc-block-featured-product__link\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\">Shop now<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Download the FAA Travel Compliance Letter\u00a0HERE\u00a0and stick it in your carry-on just to be safe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>About AirMini:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>World\u2019s smallest, portable CPAP on the market today.<\/li>\n<li>AirMini includes three therapy modes: CPAP, AutoSet\u2122 (APAP), and AutoSet for Her (APAP)<\/li>\n<li>Designed to work with\u00a0ResMed CPAP masks: AirFit\u2122 P10 for AirMini, AirFit N20, AirFit F20, AirTouch\u2122 F20, and AirFit F30.<\/li>\n<li>Works with HumidX\u2122 and HumidX Plus waterless humidification when used with a compatible nasal CPAP mask<\/li>\n<li>Convenient control via Bluetooth when paired with the AirMini app<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>ResMed AutoSet Technology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The AirMini line offers advanced new technology that automatically monitors your breathing and adjusts the pressure to the lowest setting needed to help treat you. What a great option to help avoid unnecessary visits to your doctor, saving you time and money!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Auto Features That Help You Get to Sleep and Stay Asleep<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ResMed packed a lot of technology into this little machine. Their automatic start and stop technology allows the AirMini to begin treatment when you start breathing into the mask and stop treatment when the mask is removed. Another great technology can be found in the AirMini\u2019s Ramp feature. With this feature, the machine will essentially slowly ramp up to the desired therapy setting, little by little, while you comfortably fall asleep. Once you are asleep, rest assured the AirMini will maintain your needed therapy range.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HumidX Delivers Needed Moisture Without Needing Extra Supplies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ResMed added the HumidX waterless technology to the tubing that works with the N20 and P10 for the AirMini. This means you can get the benefits and comforts of added moisture during your therapy without having to pack extra supplies, like a humidifier. Please note that HumidX is not available on the F20 or F30 masks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CPAP or APAP Modes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whether you use CPAP or APAP, this machine is for you. The AirMini is designed to work in either setting and will continuously adjust itself throughout the night to meet your desired pressure needs. How great is that?!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Includes FREE Wireless Monitoring\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even more great technology can be found in AirMini\u2019s app, included FREE. This amazing app can control everything on your machine with the touch of a button from your Apple or Android mobile phone. Use the app to review important therapy data, including your 30 day sleep score, usage, hourly events, and even monitor leakage.<\/p>\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1624482959179\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Essential Travel CPAP Supplies Checklist<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n<p>Depending upon how far from home you\u2019re going, and what means of travel you prefer, you may want to bring a few supplies with you so you don\u2019t end up feeling like you need a vacation from your vacation. Here are a couple must-haves for any CPAP Traveler:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Travel CPAP Power Adapter<br \/><\/strong><br \/>If you choose to take to the open road this summer in either your vehicle or a larger rig like an RV, be sure to pack a\u00a0DC Converter\u00a0for your AirMini. The AirMini DC\/DC Converter 65W allows the patient to operate their machine from a vehicle cigarette lighter socket (12V or 24V DC power source).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you plan to take a vacay in the US, it\u2019s always worth having a backup power source. Grab yourself a\u00a020W Power Supply\u00a0and don\u2019t lose sleep over losing sleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Travel CPAP Carrying Case<br \/><\/strong><br \/>The\u00a0ResMed AirMini Drawstring Bag\u00a0is the perfect, simple solution to keeping your AirMini Travel CPAP device, your mask, tubing, and other accessories protected, dust-free, and dry during travel. Plus, it\u2019s included with your AirMini Machine! Win-win.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Extra Humidifier Disks<br \/><\/strong><br \/>Exclusive to ResMed\u2019s AirMini Portable Auto-CPAP Machines,\u00a0HumidX waterless humidifiers\u00a0are small HME (Heat and Moisture Exchange) filters designed to provide comfortable and efficient humidification without the need for a conventional water-based heated humidifier.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>HumidX can be inserted directly between the mask connector and the vent, providing effective waterless humidification at a compact, effective and comfortable level.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Travel CPAP Cleaner<br \/><\/strong><br \/>Here at cpapRX, we offer an array of\u00a0CPAP Sanitizing Devices. However, our top pick for the traveling CPAP user is the\u00a0Sleep8 CPAP Cleaner Sanitizer.

Better safe than sorry, because who wants a surprise at the airport?! If you don\u2019t see your Airline on this list, it\u2019s always worth giving them a pre-flight call.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Turn your Humidifier off and if your CPAP Machine has Airplane mode, enable it.<\/p>\n<p>Keep all of the above-mentioned documents \u2014 including your\u00a0CPAP Prescription\u00a0\u2014 with your machine.
