Description:

The Puritan Bennett Sandman Intro CPAP machine replaces the GoodKnight 420g CPAP machine in the Puritan Bennett line. The Sandman Intro is lightweight with a compact design and built-in humidifier. The humidifier adjusts the heater plate according the outside temperature to minimize condensation.

This machine is quiet and features Adaptive Pressure Stability to limit variations of CPAP pressure from inhalation to exhalation. This machine also comes with a memory and optional software package for reading apnea data.

Most reviewers liked its light weight and compact design and the fact that it comes with a humidifier. Many found it to be quiet and easy to use. Some reviewers purchased this unit as a travel or backup machine and liked it better than their original unit.

“I was so surprised when I used my Sandman Intro for the first time. It was so quiet I could hear the outside noises for the first time in years. I really like that it is so light and compact. It is also easy to set up.”

“The Sandman is an excellent choice for your c-pap machine. This model combines a humidifier also. It is small and easy to pack if you travel. The display is large and easy to read. Ramp times adjust from 20 -45 min. Settings are quickly and easily adjusted.”

“so small and works great. Love that it is all in one unit–much easier to travel with.”

Machine purchase includes: Sandman CPAP/humidifier combo, carrying case, 6 foot hose, manuals, AC power cord, two reusable foam filters and a memory card.
