Breas QTube Universal InLine Muffler for CPAP Machines (DISCONTINUED)
Description
REDUCE CPAP TUBING & MACHINE NOISE
QTube is a unique inline adapter that fits between your CPAP Machine and your breathing tube. A foam baffling layer inside the QTube reduces perceived sound levels and acoustic noises, that can often irritate sleep therapy users and disturb sleep partners, by up to 90%. It's the ideal accessory for a peaceful night's sleep!
LIGHTWEIGHT, COMPACT & CONVENIENT
The QTube CPAP Muffler is about 5 inches long and the whole kit only weighs about 3 ounces in use! It is easy to attach and detach from your sleep therapy device and, because QTube sits inline with your standard CPAP tube, it won't add a lot of clutter to your sleep therapy setup.
COMPATIBLE WITH ALL CPAP MACHINES!
QTube is designed to work with all CPAP machines including those from Human Design Medical, Somnetics, Philips Respironics, ResMed, Fisher & Paykel, Devilbiss Healthcare, and more. QTube can be used with standard tubing, performance tubing and slim tubing; however because QTube needs to attach to your machine at the air outlet port, it cannot be used with most heated tubing systems.
QTube can be used with heated humidifiers as long as the QTube is disassembled each day and allowed to dry completely before the next use.
EASY TO INSTALL & MAINTAIN
QTube attaches to your CPAP machine's outlet port via the included short tube. Together the QTube and short tube provide a lightweight, flexible, adaptive connection that won't kink or pull on your standard CPAP tubing or mask. QTube's foam baffle material should be replaced on a regular basis, usually once every 2 weeks. For full usage and care instructions please review the user manual that came with your QTube.

.Makes the Z1 tolerable
I had to wear ear plugs to use the Z1 before I got this. Every time I exhaled it whistled annoyingly, and would even keep my spouse awake. Amazingly this simple tube with foam in it (which is of course WAY overpriced) minimizes that sound. The question is, why didn't they include this with the Z1 to begin with?

.At low pressures, OK, but...
In my experience, above 10cm H2O, forget it. A muffler at higher pressures? Don't think so. And BTW, despite it's wonderful portability, the Z1 is one noisy machine.

.Reduces noise dramatically
I've been using the Q-Tube for almost a year now and it does dramatically reduce the noise of my Z1 Auto. I use my Z1 Auto 4 out of 7 nights almost every week and the noise never bothered me but if my wife was with me she would complain. Using the Z1 Auto and Q-Tube feels just as comfortable to me as using my bedside unit. Having conversed via message board with folks over the last few years on the topic of Z1 noise, it is clear that there are some people who are just super sensitive to noise when they sleep and cannot tolerate the high speed blowers of the travel cpaps.

.Wish it wasn't needed.
I've used the Z1 with and without a muffler. When I'm at home I use the muffler and it helps. When I travel I don't and it's okay, but I wish it was quieter. I think the muffler does help with sound at the mask though.
