Selecting the right sleep apnea machine to fit your individual needs can sometimes be complicated. CPAP machines range from simplistic and no-frills to sleek and stylish with sophisticated technology. When APAP (automatic positive airway pressure) machines and BiPAP machines (bi-level positive airway pressure) are considered, the options become even more unclear. Sleep apnea machine vendors and suppliers have many different types of available CPAP, APAP and BiPAP machines for your evaluation. The DeVilbiss IntelliPAP Auto CPAP is just one of the many options for CPAP users. It is considered to be the next generation of auto sleep apnea machines. This Auto Adjusting system features the smallest surface area of any leading sleep apnea machine, making it very travel-friendly. The Devilbiss IntelliPAP also does away with the bulky power brick, keeping this CPAP machine lightweight.

In contrast to the standard functionality of the Devilbiss IntelliPAP Auto CPAP, there is the ResMed S9 Auto. The ResMed S9 Auto is considered by many to be the best sleep apnea machine available, featuring sophisticated technology and a heated tube. Included in the ResMed S9 Auto is their patented Easy-Breathe Technology for expiratory pressure relief (EPR). Expiratory pressure relief makes drawing a breath with the ResMed S9 Auto feel significantly more natural as it responds to the CPAP user on a breath by breath basis. This sleep apnea machine also includes a Climate Control feature, as well as heated CPAP tube, helpful in preventing rainout. Sophisticated technology and data are a strong aspect of the ResMed S9. This APAP machine’s algorithm has been enhanced to detect the difference between an open and closed airway. The integrated SD data card holds five years of user data, enabling fine tuning to hone in on individual needs. All of this can be accomplished by way of a few slight button pushes or clicks of the dial. The Resmed S9 Auto also looks more stylish, sleek and less like a clunky, clinical medical apparatus than its predecessors.

Whichever CPAP machine is chosen, the Devilbiss IntelliPAP Auto or the ResMed S9 Auto, compliance is truly the path to a better quality sleep. Either machine will provide the foundation from which to build more consistent sleep patterns and an enhanced quality of life.
