Transcend Micro Auto CPAP

The Transcend Micro Auto CPAP is a travel machine for people who want their therapy to come along without changing the mask they already trust. It's the smallest and lightest CPAP Transcend makes, and it packs into a carry-on bag with plenty of room to spare.

There's little to it. Four buttons handle power, ramp, Bluetooth, and drying, and the optional MySleepDash app shows how you slept. Add the AirMist for waterless humidity and the PowerAway battery for nights away from an outlet, and everything packs into a small bag.

Key features:

• GentleRise ramp: Pressure starts lower and builds while you fall asleep, over a time your care provider sets.
• AirRelief: Eases the pressure as you breathe out, with three levels to choose from to find the one that feels easiest.
• SleepStart: Breathe into your mask to begin therapy, or press the power button if you prefer.
• Dry cycle: One press after you wake runs the blower on low to dry the hose and muffler before you pack them.
• Power cut restart: If the power goes out overnight, therapy starts again on its own once it comes back.
• Licensed in Canada: Health Canada licenses the Micro as a medical device, together with its battery, its muffler, and the AirMist humidifier.

The Micro suits frequent flyers and campers, and anyone who wants a second machine kept packed for trips. If you'd rather have a heated humidifier at home, a bedside model such as the AirSense 11 is likely the better match for you.

Note: The AirMist waterless humidifier and the PowerAway battery are sold separately, and no mask is included.
