Re-imagining The Way We Travel
Move over travel CPAP Machines! Philips Respironics is on the go literally and figuratively with their first ever travel device: The DreamStation Go!!! You asked for it and Philips Respironics delivered. Coming in measured at just 5.94 inches long and weighing less than 2 pounds,(1.86 lbs/29.76oz) it stakes it's claim as one of the least obtrusive devices that you will find on the travel market. Coming equipped with comfort features like Flex, auto altitude adjustment, the DreamStation Go offers all the right tools to make therapy that much better. Did we mention that it's user friendly too? The device also comes equipped with built-in Bluetooth to make data transfer smooth for Smartphone users.
Travel Friendly
One of the main points Respironics wanted to hit on was being "travel friendly". With the DreamStation Go, they did just that by creating a device that utilizes 2/3 fewer parts which ultimately means less packing. We'd all like to consider this a plus especially when compared to other machines and other machines of this particular size and nature. Say goodbye to all those extra bulky parts! One of the biggest upsides is that the power brick is built into the device which further eliminates the bulk associated with CPAP machines. Now, this doesn't mean the machine is battery powered! You will still need to have it connected to a wall outlet in order to power the device on. Wait.....read on further and you'll find out a worthy gem that makes the DreamStation Go one of the marquee machines in the travel industry.
Flex On/Flex Off
Bringing back an old goody in C-flex, You're comforted knowing you have three levels of relief. C-Flex technology not only provides optimal CPAP therapy at the lowest amount of pressure indicated, you will also receive effective sleep therapy minus the pressure and discomfort. The key point in gaining an edge on sleep discomfort is to decrease the pressure at the beginning of each breathe so that you are able to have low sustainable pressure as you exhale. By choosing between a pressure reduction of one, two, or three centimeters of pressure, this will allow the airstream to deliver a natural breathing process that is not forced. Your sleep is uninterrupted as the C-Flex will monitor each breath thus lowering the pressure on a breath by breath basis thereafter returning the settings back to normal pressure upon inhaling. There are three levels of pressure reduction and depending on which is chosen it will decrease your pressure by the set amount. EX: (10cmH20 with a setting of 2 means it will decrease by a pressure of 2cm which would make you exhale at a pressure of 8cmH20) This gives you the opportunity to select which level of relief works best for your specific need. A-Flex simply lowers the pressure on exhale and makes a gradual increase in pressure during exhale which allows the user to have a more fluid breathing experience. Think of A-Flex as being similar to a bicycle with training wheels whereas C-Flex is the bicycle without them however, Flex is purely based on preference therefore you won't go wrong with either choice.

On the Go!(Literally)
The DreamStation Go can run off the power grid! With the Overnight Battery (SOLD SEPARATELY) is a 90W lithium ion battery compatible ONLY with the aforementioned machine. The battery fits directly into the device and can generally power the DreamStation Go for an average runtime of 13 hours(based on 10cmH2o), and possibly more depending on your breathing pattern and pressure settings during your sleep therapy. Best of all, it doesn't take up much space compared to other competitors making it the friendliest to travel with.
