The Breas Z2 Auto Travel CPAP machine delivers advanced sleep apnea therapy through its auto adjusting pressure technology in a 10.5-ounce portable unit engineered for travel. Lighter, quieter, and smaller than the Z1 CPAP machine, the Breas Z2 Auto Travel CPAP connects to any standard CPAP mask.
This innovative device monitors and adjusts air pressure throughout the night, ensuring optimal therapy for every breath. Pressure ramp, expiratory pressure release, and an intelligent breath sampling algorithm for auto-adjusting CPAP therapy ensure the sleep apnea user receives high-performing auto CPAP therapy all night long.
The Breas Z2's advanced waterless humidification system works with a heat-moisture exchanger, eliminating the need for water while maintaining comfortable air pressure levels during sleep apnea therapy. Bluetooth connectivity transmits comprehensive sleep data wirelessly to the NiteLog mobile application, allowing users to track their sleep apnea therapy progress and air pressure patterns.
Integrate the Z2 Auto Travel CPAP with the optional PowerShell and its extended-life battery to get at least 9 hours of cord-free sleep, giving you comfort you didn’t experience from other CPAP machines before.

Compact CPAP Machine that Fits in the Hand
The Breas Z2 Auto Travel CPAP machine weighs a mere 10.5 ounces and measures 6.48” x 3.30” x 2.2”. It fits comfortably in the hand and slips easily into a purse or carry-on bag. It comes with the four-foot-long Slim Style tubing to further reduce bulk when packing.
The Slim Style tube is also available in a six-foot length. Proprietary tubing is not required, and you can pack along any standard tubing instead. The Z2 connects to any standard CPAP mask, so just put your preferred mask into your luggage.
Breas has validated the Z2 Auto Travel CPAP machine for use with heat-moisture exchangers (HME). Waterless humidification via an HME reduces the system's footprint while ensuring the user avoids complications of excessively dry airflow during sleep therapy.
Engineered for Better Sleep, Comfort, and Performance
The Breas Z2’s auto-adjusting algorithm for auto CPAP therapy samples breath patterns several times a second to continually verify that the pressure is correctly set. The auto start-stop feature initiates flow from the Z2 when a breath is detected after the mask is put on and terminates therapy when the Z2 detects mask removal at the end of therapy.
When Ramp is toggled on, the auto-adjusting pressure from the Breas Z2 starts out low at the beginning of bedtime and gradually rises over a preset time. Z-Breathe is Breas’s proprietary algorithm for smoothing out spikes in pressure during exhalation. It can be set for mild, moderate, or aggressive pressure relief.
Unlike many traditional CPAP machines, the Breas Z2 Auto Travel CPAP machine features sophisticated pressure settings that adapt to your breathing patterns throughout the night. This technology minimizes typical pressure swings that can cause discomfort or wake you during therapy, setting it apart from other CPAP equipment on the market.
The Breas Z2 is quieter than the Z1 and other travel CPAP machines due to motor changes. The addition of the Qtube inline muffler reduces dynamic and static noise at the device and within the mask. The Qtube contains foam baffling and connects downstream to the CPAP tubing near the machine itself. Bluetooth connectivity delivers data to the NiteLog Mobile app on your iOS or Android smartphone. Use this data for yourself or share it with your care team.
Go Off the Grid
The FAA-compliant Breas Z2 Auto Travel CPAP automatically adjusts for altitude changes and is cleared for use on airplanes when Bluetooth is turned off. The on-screen display gives you access to every needed setting. It is not necessary to connect to a smartphone app to control or adjust the Z2.
When traveling abroad, the power supply automatically corrects the voltage as needed. Just pack the proper power supply connector for the country you are visiting. With its extended battery pack, the optional PowerShell holds the battery and Z2 in a compact Neoprene sleeve for cord-free therapy lasting 8.9 hours or longer, depending on device settings.
Nitelog Mobile App
The Nitelog app (iOS/Android) from Breas allows users to monitor their AHI, sleep hours, and generate compliance reports. To use the app with your Z2 device, simply download it from the Apple App Store or Google Play and activate Bluetooth on your machine.
It's important to note that compatibility with all Android devices may be limited due to developer constraints, but rest assured, Breas is actively working on an update for the Nitelog app.
Set-Up and Maintenance
Routine maintenance and cleaning are critical contributors to successful sleep therapy and satisfaction with the device.
Maintenance
Air Filter
- Remove the end cap and inspect the filter weekly for debris, tears, and blockages.
- Replace every month or sooner if there is debris, tears, or blockages.
- The filter should not be cleaned.
Cleaning Recommendations
- Daily: CPAP tube and Qtube and Qtube foam insert
- As needed: Breas Z2 device exterior
Device Cleaning
Note: the device itself must NEVER be submerged in water
- Wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
- Wipe dry.
Part Cleaning
- Remove the foam insert from the Qtube.
- Wash the foam insert, Qtube, and CPAP tube in warm, soapy water using mild dish soap.
- Do not soak for more than 10 minutes.
- Air dry all parts.
- The foam insert should be completely dry before reinsertion into the Qtube.
FAQ
Where does the Qtube go, and what does it do?
The Qtube is a muffler to reduce acoustic noise. One end of an 8-inch piece of tubing attaches to the air outlet on the Z2, and the Qtube connects to the other end of the tubing. The main CPAP tube then connects to the other side of the Qtube. The Qtube contains foam baffling material. The foam should be cleaned and dried between uses.
What is a heat moisture exchanger (HME), and where does it go?
HMEs are sometimes called artificial noses that allow waterless humidification to happen. An HME collects water vapor from exhaled breath. Airflow from the machine travels through the HME and picks up the “stored” humidity. The HME fits between the mask and the CPAP tubing. The larger end of the HME connects to the mask, and the smaller side goes to the tubing.
Seal the HME in a bag between uses, so it does not dry out. Discard it after seven days, sooner if it gets dirty, or is not providing enough humidification any longer.
Final CPAP Ninja Comments
The Breas Z2 Auto Travel CPAP with the PowerSleeve battery lets you camp out and sleep great anywhere. With a heat moisture exchanger, you do not even need to carry distilled water to enjoy humidified airflow.
The Breas Z2 is one of the absolute smallest portable Auto travel CPAP machines around today. Its included Slim Style tube keeps packing light, but the Z2’s compatibility with standard tubing and any standard CPAP mask is a big win for the user, too.
