Looking for Answers?

Learn how to manage and use your travel devices with expert guidance.

Can I take my CPAP machine on an airplane?
Yes, all CPAP machines are considered medical devices and can be carried on airplanes without counting toward your carry-on limit. You should inform security officers and be prepared to remove the machine from its case for screening.
Do I need a special travel CPAP machine or can I use my regular one?
While you can travel with your regular CPAP machine, travel-specific models offer significant advantages in portability, power options, and convenience. The choice depends on your travel frequency, destination types, and personal preferences.
How do I power my CPAP machine in countries with different electrical systems?
Most modern CPAP machines have universal power supplies that work with 100-240V systems. You'll only need a plug adapter, not a voltage converter. Always check your specific machine's power requirements before traveling.
What about humidification when traveling?
Travel CPAP machines offer various humidification solutions, from integrated heated humidifiers to passive moisture exchange technology. Some travelers prefer to use room humidifiers or skip humidification for short trips to simplify their setup.
