another type of machine similar to cpap
Sleep Apnea is a serious health issue and we here at theinverterstore.com are dedicated to providing a solution for those who need to use a CPAP on the road. I would like to let you know up front that if you have any information regarding another type of machine, let me know I am happy to add to this post at anytime. 1 A bilevel positive airway pressure machine (BiPAP) uses a different air pressure when you breathe in than when you breathe out. 2  BiPAP may work better than standard CPAP for treating obstructive sleep apnea in people who have heart failure. The most common problem with CPAP is that people don't use the machine every night. Or they take off the mask during the night because it becomes uncomfortable. Even one night of not using the machine can make you sleepy the next day. If you feel like you want to stop using CPAP for any reason, talk to your doctor. You use CPAP at home every night while you sleep. The CPAP machine will have one of the following: 1  A mask that covers your nose and mouth. 2  A mask that covers your nose only-called nasal continuous positive airway pressure, or NCPAP (this type of mask is most common). 3  Prongs that fit into your nose. Instead of delivering one or two set pressures like a CPAP or BiPAP machine, the APAP machine adjusts with each breath to your ideal pressure. It can adjust for sleeping position, weight fluctuations, consumption of alcohol before bed, or anything else that can change the pressure required to keep your airway open. Auto Adjusting Positive Airway Pressure or APAP machines are another type of machine used to non-invasively treat Sleep Apnea. If you are using humidity on any of these units, you will need to use an AIMS 300 Watt pure sine power inverter. Field Test Results: I ran the CPAP here at our facility off a small battery bank. I have ran it for 6 to 8 hours for 3 days straight. The machine operates great with the AIMS pure sine power inverter I used the AIMS 600 Watt Pure Sine for this test, because of the maximum power requirement. Auto CPAP or APAP Machines. Similar to the CPAP machine, auto adjusting or APAP machines automatically calculate a patient’s required pressure and adjust to a comfortable level without any pre-set programming. These machines are ideal for patients who have various pressures during the night. From the research that I have done most CPAP’s require a pure sine power inverter. I am going to use the AIMS 600 watt pure sine power inverter for this test. We are just above 300 watts, but even if we were at 280 watts, I would recommend the bigger inverter. For a couple of reasons. I am going to run this machine for 3 separate eight hour periods off of an AIMS pure sine power inverter and a couple of 6 volt batteries connected in series. According to our information the max usage of the CPAP with heat and humidity is 2.7 amps or 324 watts. I found the watts with some simple math listed below.
