Description:

The DeVilBiss IntelliPAP Auto CPAP is the newest CPAP machine from DeVilBiss. It’s the quietest machine on the market requiring only 26dBA for operation compared to at least 30dBA for other machines. This machine includes an industry-leading 3 year warranty in addition to a reputation for reliability and durability.

The IntelliPAP Auto is small, easy to travel with and includes SmartCode, which can provide therapy reports via the internet with a machine generated code. Auto Adjust continuously adjusts the pressure throughout the night according to your needs. The IntelliPAP can be plugged into cigarette lighter or battery power with adapter.

Most reviewers liked the small size, quiet and durability of this machine. SmartCode was very popular with the availability to see apnea events, pressure changes and mask leakage information.

“I have used a C-Pap machine for about 10 years – have had two different ones by Respironics. I started having problems getting good quality sleep so my new doctor suggested the Intellipap. What a difference! It seems I needed several different settings during the night (from a pressure of 9 to 12) which regular c-paps don’t do. I also love how quiet it is.”

“Great design and whisper quiet. Small enough to fit into my carry-on when I travel by plane.”

“A very nice automatic CPAP. I was surprised with the quality and quiet. I just put my mask on and plugged the machine in and that was it.”

“Neither I nor my wife can believe how quiet the machine is and I can also say I actually look forward to using the machine each night which I never thought I would ever say.”

Machine purchase includes: IntelliPAP APAP Machine, carrying case, 6 foot hose, 8 foot power cord, one reusable foam filter, one disposable fine filter, patient manual, and clinical quick set-up guide.
