Overview
The Philips DreamStation 2 Auto CPAP Advanced treats sleep apnea by adjusting its pressure to your breathing through the night, so you get the support each moment calls for. The humidifier is built into the machine, so warm, moist air is there whenever you want it.
Using it each night is simple. Press the therapy button on top to start, and by morning the colour touchscreen sums up how your night went. It's smaller and lighter than the first DreamStation, and it comes with a carrying case for nights away.
Key features:
- Exhale relief: FLEX lowers the pressure slightly as you exhale, which makes breathing out feel more natural when your provider enables it.
- Automatic start: With Automatic On enabled, therapy begins as soon as you put your mask on and breathe, with no button to find in the dark.
- Remote adjustments: Your care provider can change your settings through the built-in modem, so they can fine-tune your therapy from their office.
- Altitude adjustment: It compensates for altitude on its own, so therapy stays on track whether you sleep at home or in a high city like Calgary.
- Oxygen compatible: It can be used with supplemental oxygen through a Philips pressure valve, for people whose prescriber adds oxygen to their therapy.
- Licensed in Canada: The DreamStation 2 Auto CPAP Advanced holds an active Health Canada medical device licence as a Class II device.
The DreamStation 2 suits people starting CPAP who'd like a gentle start, and Philips mask wearers who'd like a machine from Philips too. If you're replacing a first-generation DreamStation, you'll find the same therapy button, with a touchscreen where the dial used to be.
Note: First-generation DreamStation water chambers, made for its add-on humidifier, and its filters are separate Philips parts. Use DreamStation 2 parts here, such as our DreamStation 2 ultra-fine filters.
How it works
Filling the water tank
Slide the tank out before filling it with room-temperature distilled water, and stop at the maximum fill line. After a night's use, give the heater plate and water about 15 minutes to cool before you take the tank out.
Keep the machine on a level surface below your mask, and never move it with water in the tank. That keeps water from running back into the machine.
Heated or standard tube
Both tube options connect to the same outlet and run the same therapy. The heated tube warms the air on its way to your mask, and the machine recognises it as soon as it's attached.
Philips' slimmer micro-flexible tube fits too, with an adapter at the mask end, and the standard version needs one at the machine end as well.

Philips DreamStation 2 Auto CPAP Advanced$935.00Features and settings
Pressure and comfort settings
Your care provider chooses which of these comfort options you control on the touchscreen. Ask them to switch on any you'd like to try.
- Ramp Plus lasts up to 45 minutes at the start pressure you pick
- FLEX gives gentle relief each time you exhale, at the level you choose
- Automatic On starts the airflow when you put your mask on and breathe
- Automatic Off stops it once the mask comes off
Humidifier and heated tube
Your air stays comfortably moist through the night, because adaptive humidification adjusts the heater plate to hold the humidity at your mask steady. Filled to the line with distilled water, the tank should last a typical night.
- Humidity and tube temperature each have five levels, or off
- Tube temperature appears on the screen once the heated tube is attached
DreamMapper and therapy reports
Pair the DreamStation 2 with the DreamMapper app over Bluetooth to see your hours and mask fit on your phone. The app is optional, and the screen shows your last night either way.
- DreamMapper is on the Canadian App Store, in English and French
- A built-in cellular modem sends your therapy data to your care provider
- Your provider can update your settings remotely
Parts that fit the DreamStation 2
The water tank and both filters are DreamStation 2 parts, with their own Philips part numbers. Tubes, the power supply and DC cords are shared with the first-generation DreamStation.
- DreamStation 2 water tank and tank seal
- Grey reusable pollen filter and blue ultra-fine filter
- Standard or heated 15 mm tube, or the micro-flexible tube with adapters
- Any vented CPAP mask, including Philips DreamWear
Auto CPAP
The machine reads your breathing and adjusts the pressure through the night, inside a range your care provider sets. You get extra support in the moments you need it, and gentler pressure the rest of the time.
Ramp Plus
Choose a gentle starting pressure and how long it lasts, and the machine uses it every night from then on. You can drift off at an easy pressure, and it still steps up early if your breathing needs it.
Built-in humidifier
The humidifier is built in, so the machine and its water tank set up and travel as one piece. Warm, moist air can help keep your nose and mouth from drying out overnight.
Mask fit check
The Last Session screen shows whether your mask sealed well overnight, with Good fit or Adjust fit. If it needs work, a quick fit check on the touchscreen helps you settle the mask before your next night.

Common questions
How often should I replace the filters and tubing?
Philips' user manual says to rinse the grey pollen filter every two weeks and replace it every six months. Swap the blue ultra-fine filter after 30 nights, or sooner if it looks clogged, the tubing every six months, and the water tank once a year.
Can I take the DreamStation 2 on a plane?
Yes. Philips approves it for airline use and includes an FAA compliance letter in the user manual for you to bring along. Pack it in its carrying case as carry-on, empty the water tank first, and switch on Airplane Mode to turn off the wireless connections.
Can the water tank go in the dishwasher?
Yes, once a week on the top rack, according to Philips' user manual. On other days, wash it by hand with warm, soapy water and let it air-dry. Philips lists only the tank parts for the dishwasher, so wash the tubing by hand each week.
Was the DreamStation 2 part of the Philips recall?
No. Health Canada's 2021 recall advisory doesn't include it, and Philips lists the DreamStation 2 as not affected. That recall covered the first-generation DreamStation and other Philips machines made before April 26, 2021, because of the sound-dampening foam inside them.
Should I choose the heated tube or the standard tube?
Choose the heated tube if you'd like to set the tube's temperature as well as the humidity, which keeps the air warm all the way to your mask. The standard tube suits you if humidity alone feels right. Pick yours with the option above.
Do I need a prescription to buy a CPAP machine?
Yes. We need a prescription on file before a CPAP machine ships. Email or fax it to us with your order number written on it, and we'll send your machine once we have it.
