Our Comments
CPAP machines come with a six foot hose, a travel bag and manuals. Masks are not included and must be purchased separately. We will be happy to help you with sizing and offer suggestions on current popular masks.
A Resmed DC-12 Converter For S8 Machines must be used with the 12 volt jack. Any other cable will likely cause a machine failure. You can find this item on our site.
If using the S8 Escape and H3i together you must purchase a Pure Sine Wave Inverter in order to use DC power. Do not run this machine on a regular AC to DC inverter or you will chance ruining your cpap. We sell the Pure Sine Wave inverters on our website.

"A great improvement over my previous model. It's much quieter, smaller (much better for traveling), and the heated humidifier works very well. I've had trouble getting the smart card working but expect to fix that problem shortly."
