Z2 Portable CPAP (DISCONTINUED)

Description

lightweight cpap

LIGHTWEIGHT FOR TRAVEL... GREAT FOR HOME TOO!
The Z2 CPAP builds on the form of the original Z1 with a more advanced, quieter motor and improved software systems. The Z2 is tiny so it fits easily in your hand; and ultra-light at just 10.4 ounces. It is a great everyday machine that is also ideal for travel, packing easily in carry on luggage or any travel bag.

FIXED PRESSURE THERAPY WITH A RAMP FOR COMFORT
The Z2 CPAP delivers fixed therapy CPAP pressure at prescribed settings between 4-20 CM. For people who prefer to fall asleep with therapy at lower pressure levels, the Z2's ramp feature allows you to start your pressure at a lower setting and ramp it up over time to let you adjust more gradually to sleep therapy.

Z-BREATHE PRESSURE RELIEF
Z2 delivers a more natural breathing experience with a proprietary feature, called Z-Breathe, that smooths therapy pressure -- reducing spikes in pressure during exhalation and drops in pressure during inhalation -- to deliver more comfortable therapy. Z-Breathe has 3 settings so you can set it to suit your own personal needs.

whisper quiet cpap

WHISPER QUIET
The Z2 has a new quieter motor built for sleep so it is very quiet. In fact it's one of the quietest APAPs on the market, producing only 26 dBA on average of sound during operation.

AUTO STOP EASE OF USE
The Z2 CPAP is programmed to stop delivering therapy within seconds of the mask being removed from the face or when a large leak is detected. No more fumbling to find the stop button in the dark.

CLIMB MOUNTAINS & SEE THE WORLD
The Z2 CPAP automatically adjusts to altitudes up to 8,000 feet above sea level; and complies with FAA for use on airplanes. When traveling outside the US the Z2 will convert the voltage automatically so you can continue enjoying safe and comfortable sleep therapy wherever your next adventure takes you. (Plug adapter may be needed outside of North America.)

cpap battery

OPTIONAL POWERSHELL INTEGRATED BATTERY
For nights away from fixed power the optional PowerShell with Extended Life Battery Pack provides an innovative, integrated solution, merging the machine and battery in one convenient package. The PowerShell holds one battery that will last 1-2 nights between charges; and batteries recharge using the Z2's standard power supply so there are no extra cords to worry about. For extra nights away just add additional batteries! The PowerShell can also be used as a backup power supply, automatically taking over during a power outage or blackout.

AUTOMATIC LEAK COMPENSATION
To ensure you're always receiving your prescribed sleep therapy pressure the Z2 automatically compensates for minor mask leaks. If Z2 detects an excessive air leak, that could be detrimental to therapy, its display screen will warn you to ensure that the leak is corrected promptly.

BIG, BRIGHT, INTELLIGENT LCD DISPLAY
The Z2's large, backlit LCD display provides information on your current pressure setting, ramp time, power status, and more. With the Z2 you can always check your current therapy status, but don't worry the display has an auto-off function so it won't disturb you as you drift off to sleep.

HUMIDIFICATION OPTIONS
If you prefer added humidification when using sleep therapy, the Z2 comes complete with an inline HME Waterless Humidification Filter. A unique alternative to bulky water based humidifiers, HME Filters capture heat and moisture from your breathing as you exhale, preserving and increasing humidity to prevent your airways from drying out during therapy.

COMPATIBLE WITH ANY CPAP MASK
The Z2 comes with a Universal Tube Adapter and a 48 inch slim tube. If you prefer longer tubing or performance tubing it can be used with that too; and Z2 will work with any CPAP mask on the market so choose your favorite... don't worry it IS compatible!

    This machine worked well for the first few years. I had used it just a couple of months ago while on travel with no problem. I just tried to use it on a trip and it has completely failed. I’m now without it while away from home. Very disappointed.

    This was my first purchase from Direct Home Medical and I must say their shipping was much faster than expected. I purchased the Z2 portable CPAP machine a couple weeks ago. It is a great but a machine without a reservoir just didn't quite work out for me. I am able to send it back for a full refund because of the 30 night guarantee. Customer service is A+. extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgable. I will continue to order product from them because of their ease of ordering and shipping policies. I highly recommend them.

    I bought this little Z2 Breas, when my regular CPAP failed under the recall. This little guy is kind of plug and play, it works great for me. The little HME filter actually functions very well, nearly as well as a real humidifier. I did have trouble setting up the app on my phone; but once it did, I love it! The NiteLog app is very easy to connect to my phone via bluetooth to download my data daily. I love that I can actually see my apneas per hour! Surprised that they are not at all spread out through the night. No connecting to a computer and downloading the reports is NOT easy, and the computer reports are pretty useless. The only additional information that you can get from these reports are the mask leak, which I don't use; but my doctor wants to see them. The other thing is that you must use the F20 mask with these little Z2 machines. Once I discovered the foam cushion F20 mask, I will never go back to my old masks.

    The process of placing the order was good - I received timely support and clear information. Then the CPAP itself arrived quickly. So far so good! The only reason this isn't a 5-star rating is that there is one item on my order that is still back-ordered with no clear delivery date. Maybe it's just 2022 global supply chain, but the outcome for me is the same. Incomplete order. Hopefully soon.

    My husband used this for about 2 nights. The pressure was little to none. We purchased this to replace his recalled CPAP (since it was the only reasonably priced unit). Do not buy this unless you need very minimal pressure. Purchased this with a 30 night trial. Returned the item as it wasn't useful. Direct Home Medical is a great company and issued a prompt refund. I will return to them for my CPAP needs.

    I tried the Z2 Portable CPAP every night for 20 nights. During that time, I developed a sneeze that was so loud and violent that when I sneezed inside the house, my sneeze could be heard for about 40 feet outside of my house. When I stopped using this device (i instead tried the ResMed Air Mini), my sneezing stopped immediately. When the device was set as required by my doctor (pressure of 12), it blew so hard that I had to change from a nasal mask to a full face mask. Finally, I did not have enough humidification from the inline HME Waterless Humidification Filter so I kept waking up from a dry throat. The Air Mini humification system (I am using the HumidX HME Plus Humidifier), worked much better. All in all, I prefer the Air Mini to the Z2 for travel, but I prefer the ResMed AirSense 10 for when I am home.

    I bought a Z2 for camping, based on many good reviews, its light weight and DC capability. I tried it at home on AC power when I received it. Like another poster whose review I had read before buying, I found that the small outlet, and smaller-diameter hose on the Z2, do not allow sufficient air volume to reach my nasal mask. And, increasing the pressure, even to the max, did not provide sufficient flow to prevent feeling a bit "air starved." I am 6'1", 240 lbs. I have never had this experience with another CPAP/APAP device in 20 years of use. So, I returned it pursuant to DHM's generous "try for 30 days free" policy. I plan to buy a different travel APAP (with a full-sized outlet and hose) from DHM, because their service has been great.
