Quiet Operation
Enjoy peaceful sleep with the whisper-quiet Micro CPAP, which features built-in sound and vibration dampening. Light sleepers can sleep soundly with the included WhisperSoft™ Muffler that attaches directly to the machine for an even quieter night.
Compatible with any CPAP Mask
Designed to connect to all CPAP masks with standard 22mm connections, the Micro gives you the freedom to use your preferred CPAP mask. Simply connect your mask to the included 6 ft hose and you're ready to start enjoying convenient and comfortable sleep therapy.
Auto Start/Stop Convenience
With SleepStart™, there’s no more hunting for buttons in the dark. This innovative feature automatically starts therapy when you put on your mask, and stops it when you take it off.
Unplug and Sleep Anywhere
The Transcend Micro comes with an AC (wall) power adapter for nights at home, in your cabin, or at a hotel. For long-haul flights or off-grid trips, the FAA-approved Transcend Micro PowerAway™ Battery offers up to 17.5 hours of runtime, ensuring uninterrupted sleep therapy no matter where you travel.
Waterless Humidification
The compact AirMist™ Heat Moisture Exchanger (HME) Kit (sold separately) adds essential moisture and warmth to your sleep therapy. Compatible with any CPAP mask, the AirMist HME captures and recycles moisture and heat from your breath, providing relief for dry mouth, nose and throat.
Customizable GentleRise™ Ramp
Drift off to sleep peacefully with GentleRise™ adjustable ramp. This feature gradually increases air pressure to your prescribed setting for a comfortable transition to therapy. Both Starting Ramp Pressure and Ramp Duration can be fine-tuned to your comfort.
AirRelief™ Exhalation Comfort
The Transcend Micro's AirRelief technology helps you breathe easier by lowering air pressure as you exhale. You can choose from three comfort levels (1, 2, or 3) to find the perfect setting for you, with level 3 providing the greatest pressure relief. AirRelief can also be turned off.
Unique Drying Mode
Keep your mask and hose free from excess moisture with the Micro’s convenient drying mode. Simply push the Dry Cycle button to activate the 30-minute drying feature and the Micro will start moving a steady stream of air through your hose and mask.
Sleep Data Tracking
Monitor your sleep therapy progress with ease using the Transcend MySleepDash app* (available on iOS and Android) or the Transcend desktop software**.
With the MySleepDash app, you’ll have access to therapy usage, mask leaks, breathing events (AHI), mask removal, and pressure settings anywhere, anytime. Plus, you can fine-tune comfort settings, view, share and download detailed compliance reports. You can even get troubleshooting help via the app.
Prefer a desktop experience? No problem! The Transcend desktop software allows you to access all the same features as the app, including detailed sleep data, comfort setting adjustments, and compliance report generation.
*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.
**The Transcend desktop software is compatible only with Windows OS. A USB-C cable is needed to connect the Micro CPAP to your desktop computer.
Certified Sleep Science Coach
I was thrilled to give this tiny travel CPAP a go! I love the simplicity of this device, and you can’t beat the size - it easily fits in a purse or travel bag. It is easy to use, and when paired with the matching battery, you have the whole package.
Just add the slim hose, use any mask of your choice, start breathing through the mask to start the unit, and you’re off to the races. Our team will program your Micro based on your prescription prior to shipping, so your Micro comes set up and ready to go. * Keep in mind that travel machines in general are not as quiet as home machines.
The drying function on this device is quite impressive. Just push the drying button to activate a 30 minute drying cycle that removes moisture to help control bacteria growth. What a handy feature!
If you're like me and can't use CPAP without a humidifier, the Micro has you covered. The Transcend Micro has a waterless humidification kit (AirMist Kit) that captures the moisture from your breath and recycles it back to you to provide humidification. The kit is sold separately for a month's supply.
Travel CPAPs can be noisier than home units because there is less room for insulation. Given the Micro's small size, I anticipated it would be louder than my home machine. The technical data specifies a noise level of 27 decibels, which is identical to my home device.
I did find it louder, especially on inhalation but smaller machines do tend to be somewhat louder in general, however, this was not a problem for me. If you are sensitive to noise, you might want to pack a pair of earplugs in your travel bag. It's worth noting that the Micro comes with a Muffler Kit in case you need to dampen the sound.
Overall, I am very impressed with this tiny machine. I always recommend our clients have a backup device that travels well, and the Micro fits the bill!

Thank you for your review! Yes, the smaller machines can be noisier since they do not have as much insulation as your home device. We do offer a Quiet Tube that can help a bit and perhaps earplugs. Please contact us so we can help.
