Check with your CPAP equipment provider to make sure your machine automatically compensates for altitudes of 8,500 or higher. ![sleep-apnea-traveling-with-cpap-battery-icon-illustration](https://www.resmed.my/hubfs/Himalayas%20-%20B2C/SG/Sleepcare/sleep-apnea-traveling-with-cpap-battery-icon-illustration.png) ### Battery up! There are multiple battery options available, like [the ResMed Power Station II (RPS II) battery](https://www.resmed.my/products/accessories/resmed-battery-converters-accessories). Talk to your CPAP equipment provider to discover which portable power option will best suit your travel needs. ![sleep-apnea-traveling-with-cpap-airplane-icon-illustration](https://www.resmed.my/hubfs/Himalayas%20-%20B2C/SG/Sleepcare/sleep-apnea-traveling-with-cpap-airplane-icon-illustration.png) ### Keep a converter handy ResMed offers converters so you can use your device with a 12V or 24V DC power source in a car, boat or other vehicle with a suitable battery. Ask your [CPAP equipment provider](https://www.resmed.my/contact) if they carry ResMed converters. ![icon-eyebrow-question-mark-black (1)](https://www.resmed.my/hubfs/icon-eyebrow-question-mark-black%20(1).svg) ## Common questions about traveling with your CPAP ### Can my therapy machine run from the 400Hz power supply on an aircraft? Yes. Even though the rating plate on the therapy device specifies 50-60Hz, the switch mode power supply in the flow generator is compatible with the 110 volts 400Hz power supply on an aircraft. ### Will I need to have my therapy machine adjusted if I travel at high altitudes? While most of our devices will automatically compensate for higher altitude changes, some lightweight devices may require manual adjustment. If no adjustment is made, it may deliver less effective therapy. Please check with a professional at your CPAP equipment store. ### Will the x-ray scanners at airport security affect my sleep therapy machine? No, the x-ray scanners will not harm your machine. However, security may need to see a medical statement from your doctor verifying that you are carrying medical equipment, so keep it handy! ### Do I need to take my machine with me if I need hospitalization? Yes. If you are having surgery, it is very important that you tell both the surgeon and the anesthesiologist that you have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and are being treated with CPAP. ![icon-eyebrow-documents-white](https://www.resmed.my/hubfs/Himalayas%20-%20B2C/SG/Sleepcare/icon-eyebrow-documents-white.svg) ## Documents center #### ResMed FAA Compliance Letter [ View PDF ](https://www.resmed.my/hubfs/Himalayas%20-%20B2C/SG/Sleepcare/PDF/travel-compliance-letter_amer_eng.pdf) - English - Espanol - Francais - Portugues #### TSA policies for CPAP travel [ Visit site ](https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/nebulizers-cpaps-bipaps-and-apaps) ## Featured ResMed travel products ![sleep-apnea-traveling-with-cpap-airmini-front-view](https://www.resmed.my/hubfs/Himalayas%20-%20B2C/SG/Sleepcare/sleep-apnea-traveling-with-cpap-airmini-front-view.jpg) ### AirMini travel CPAP The world’s smallest CPAP for your travel therapy.
