CPAP equipment: The complete system
A continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine is used to treat sleep apnea. It’s part of a larger system of components and accessories that work together to help you get a better night’s sleep: the machine, the mask, the tubing and the Resmed myAir™ online support program and app.

CPAP machine
There are 3 types of machines for positive pressure therapy: CPAP, APAP and Bilevel. They all create airflow that is pushed through the tubing, to the mask, and into your lungs. Each machine has different features and benefits, so discuss with your doctor to find the right type for your needs.
CPAP mask
Your mask is one of the most important components of your CPAP equipment. It consists of 3 parts: frame, cushion, and headgear. There are several different types of CPAP masks, including full face and nasal options. The right mask can make your therapy more comfortable and successful, so it’s important to find the one that’s best for you.
CPAP components
There are 3 main components you’ll need to keep your CPAP therapy comfortable and effective. These include air filters, which filter dust and pet dander from the air going into your machine; a humidifier tub to hold the water for your humidifier; and the air tubing, which is the hose that connects your CPAP machine to your mask.
