Designed to make it easier to maintain your sleep apnea therapy, the Transcend Micro is the smallest and lightest CPAP machine on the market. It revolutionizes obstructive sleep apnea treatment by providing continuous positive airway pressure in the most compact form factor available.
Weighing under 0.5 pounds and measuring less than 4 inches wide, the Micro CPAP device is convenient, portable and discreet. Unlike traditional CPAP machines that can be bulky and cumbersome for travel, the Micro delivers the same effective CPAP therapy in a package that fits in your pocket. Many CPAP users struggle with traveling due to the size of their equipment, but the Micro solves this common sleep apnea treatment challenge.
Packing big things into this small device, it offers auto-adjusting pressure and the flexibility to add on a range of comfort accessories, including a heat moisture exchanger for waterless humidification. Planning and packing for your next getaway adventure are even easier with the new Transcend Micro.
Features
- Auto-adjusting pressure and fixed CPAP modes
- Universal compatibility with any standard CPAP mask and tubing
- Heat moisture exchanger (HME) for waterless humidification
- Travel-friendly design (under 0.5 lbs, less than 4 inches wide)
- Optional PowerAway™ battery pack for off-grid use
Universal CPAP Mask Compatibility
Unique among portable CPAP machines, the Transcend Micro works seamlessly with any mask designed for CPAP therapy, ensuring compatibility with your existing obstructive sleep apnea treatment setup. Simply connect your CPAP mask to the provided Transcend Micro AirFlex Hose. This universal compatibility means CPAP machine users can continue using their preferred CPAP mask without purchasing new equipment.
Quiet Operation
Featuring unique air-bearing blower technology coupled with built-in sound and vibration dampening, the Transcend Micro delivers a quiet, restful night of sleep to users and bed partners alike.
Included with the machine is the WhisperSoft™ Micro Muffler, which connects directly to the machine and further dampens airflow noise. This makes it ideal for those transitioning from a traditional machine who are concerned about noise levels affecting their therapy experience.
Unplug and Sleep Anywhere with More Power Options
The Transcend Micro CPAP device comes with an AC (wall) power adapter for when you’re at home, at your cabin, or at a hotel. The Transcend Micro can also be used with the Transcend Micro PowerAway™ Battery as an ideal option for camping, flights, or travels to remote locations off the grid. This versatility is especially valuable for CPAP machine users who don't want their standard treatment interrupted by power availability issues common with standard CPAP machines.
Auto Start/Stop Feature
For ultimate therapy convenience, the Micro CPAP device automatically starts therapy when you breathe into your CPAP mask. Stopping therapy is just as easy. Simply take off your mask, and the Micro CPAP machine will stop delivering pressure.
Waterless Humidification
Enjoy the benefits of humidification without the hassle of packing distilled water with the Transcend Micro AirMist™ Heat Moisture Exchanger (HME). This optional Micro accessory traps and stores heat and humidity from your breath to enhance your therapy comfort. Many users find that most CPAP masks can cause dryness, making this waterless solution ideal for comfortable sleep apnea treatment during travel.
Adjustable Ramp Technology
The Transcend Micro CPAP device features ramp technology to help you fall asleep more comfortably by delivering lower pressure when you first turn on the device and go to bed. It then gradually increases pressure over time until you reach your desired level.
Plus, it’s adjustable, so you can fine-tune your ramp time or turn off the ramp feature altogether to ensure you’re getting the restful sleep you deserve. This customization is crucial for CPAP users who need personalized comfort settings for their sleep apnea, something not all CPAP machines offer.
AirRelief Exhalation Pressure Relief
The Transcend Micro is also designed with AirRelief pressure relief feature to help you breathe easier and more comfortably while you sleep by reducing pressure on exhalation. This is designed to provide additional comfort to the user by reducing the amount of resistance they experience as they exhale. There are four AirRelief settings: OFF, 1, 2, or 3. Each setting progressively increases the amount of pressure relief from none to maximum.
Stay Dry, All the Time
The Transcend Micro’s convenient drying mode removes excess moisture from your mask and tubing. When you wake up in the morning, simply activate the 30-minute drying cycle to start a steady stream of air moving through the hose and mask. The drying mode will help you to maintain a dry mask for your next use and when it’s time to go to bed.
Sleep Data Sharing
Monitor your sleep data and track your therapy progress effortlessly with the Transcend MySleepDash app, available for both iOS and Android devices. Additionally, the Transcend desktop software is available for Windows users, providing a comprehensive solution for managing your sleep therapy.
Using the MySleepDash app, you can easily keep tabs on your sleep patterns for various time frames, including the last 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, and the entire year. The app allows you to track essential metrics like usage hours, mask leak, AHI/breathing events per hour, and mask removal.
For those who prefer to access their data through their computers, the Micro CPAP device supports the Transcend desktop software. This software enables you to view detailed sleep data, modify comfort and pressure settings, and generate compliance reports effortlessly. To connect your Micro device to the desktop software, simply use a USB-C cable.
*The app is fully functional on Micro devices with firmware version 1.2.0 or greater. The app has limited functionality when used with Micro devices with earlier firmware versions. Limited functionality includes, but is not limited to, no ability to change comfort settings, limited diagnostics sent through 1-Click Troubleshooting, etc.
FAQ
Do I need the MySleepDash app to use the Micro CPAP device?

How loud is the Transcend Micro?
The Transcend Micro operates at 27 dBA, which is quieter than a whisper (30 dBA), making it one of the quietest CPAP machines available. This low noise level protects your sleep and helps you achieve consistent therapy hours without disturbance. The compact design doesn't compromise on sound-dampening technology.

Review by Susan L. CSSC
Certified Sleep Science Coach
I was thrilled to give this tiny travel CPAP a go! I love the simplicity of this device, and the size can’t be beaten. Easily fits in a purse or travel bag. I found it easy to use, and with the matching battery (available August 2022), this is the whole package. All you need to do is add the slim hose, use any mask of your choice, and start breathing through a mask to start, that’s it. We will program your Micro based on your prescription, so it comes set up and ready to go.
I also really appreciate the drying feature on this device, simply push the Drying button to activate the 30-minute drying cycle to remove moisture to help reduce bacteria growth. I love this feature!
Need humidification, no problem. The Transcend Micro has a waterless humidification kit that uses a simple design to recirculate the moisture in your breath so no need to carry water. The AirMist Kit is sold separately for a month's supply.
Since the Micro is so small, I expected it to be louder than my home machine even though the technical data indicates 27 DBA, which is the same as my home device. I did find it louder, especially on my inhalation, but was not a problem for me. If you are sound-sensitive, you may want to stick a pair of earplugs in your travel case. The Transcend Micro includes a Muffler Kit, should you need to use it to help muffle the sound.
Overall, my impression of this little cutie is very positive. I always recommend our clients have a backup device that travels well, and this fits that bill!
