Small, Portable, and Airline-Ready

Weighing less than a pound (0.66 pounds, actually), the ResMed AirMini travel CPAP machine is compact enough to fit in a coat pocket or purse. Unlike most travel CPAP machines, the AirMini maintains full therapy capabilities despite its ultra-portable design.

The AirMini ships with an attractive, drawstring pouch to let you transport it securely. It is FAA-approved for use onboard aircraft. While the AirMini doesn't include built-in battery power, its energy-efficient design works perfectly with portable battery solutions, ensuring uninterrupted CPAP therapy and restful sleep even when camping or during power outages.

Turn off the Bluetooth connection, plug it in, and put your CPAP mask on for immediate quality sleep during flights. The AirMini tubing is lightweight and packs up small for simple transport. This thoughtful design makes the ResMed AirMini one of the most travel-friendly CPAP machines available, perfect for users who prioritize both effective CPAP therapy and convenience.

All the Synchrony of the ResMed AirSense 10

The ResMed AirMini has three selectable modes of therapy: fixed-level CPAP, AutoSet, and AutoSet for Her.

AutoSet and AutoSet for Her are AutoPAP modes that use the proven auto-adjusting algorithm for pressure delivery from the AirSense 10 and the AirSense 10 for Her. When configured, SmartStart and SmartStop trigger the AirMini to start and stop therapy without pushing any buttons. CPAP therapy starts when the AirMini detects a breath and ends when the travel CPAP machine detects that the CPAP mask has been removed.

A pressure ramp supports acclimation to therapy each night by initiating therapy at a reduced pressure and gradually increasing it over a fixed time frame. Expiratory pressure relief offers up to three degrees of pressure decline during exhalation to make it more comfortable to breathe out. These comfort features ensure users achieve amazing sleep throughout the night, making this travel CPAP machine as effective as larger home units.

These advanced features demonstrate why the AirMini is a trusted travel CPAP machine for travelers. Unlike most travel CPAP machines that sacrifice functionality for size, this portable CPAP machine maintains therapeutic effectiveness without compromise.

Humidification Without a Humidifier

When used with the AirFit N20 nasal CPAP mask or the AirFit P10 nasal pillow CPAP mask for the AirMini CPAP machine, the circular HumidX or HumidX Plus heat-moisture exchanger slips inside the connector between the mask and tubing to deliver humidified air without a humidifier, distilled water, or a heater.

Heat-moisture exchangers are sometimes referred to as artificial noses. Heat-moisture exchangers collect water vapor from exhaled breaths and return it to the user during inspiration. This innovative humidification method ensures comfortable CPAP therapy that promotes restful sleep without the bulk of traditional water chambers, making it ideal for travel CPAP use.

The HumidX is ideal for most travel situations, while the HumidX Plus is an excellent choice for low-humidity environments such as airplanes and high altitudes.

Proper maintenance ensures your travel CPAP machine continues delivering optimal CPAP therapy throughout its lifespan, making it a reliable companion for years of travel.

• Place the machine on a sturdy surface within easy reach of the power outlet.
• Routine maintenance and cleaning are critical contributors to successful sleep therapy and satisfaction with the device.

Final CPAP Ninja Comments

It is hard to beat the feature set in the AirMini, making it arguably the best CPAP machine for travelers who need reliable portable CPAP therapy. It has all the comfort settings expected in a regular CPAP device. It even employs the auto-adjusting algorithms from both the AirSense 10 and the AirSense 10 for Her.

The ability to use a heat-moisture exchanger for humidification during travel is quite cutting-edge for sleep apnea therapy. Determining what mask and parts are needed to access all the capabilities of the AirMini fully may be a bit confusing, but the customer service staff at CPAP Ninja are ready for your questions, so give them a call and put a full-featured travel AutoPAP in the palm of your hand!
