My sleep clinic discharged me, saying they were happy I was self-managing. Roll on a decade and the cardiologists taking care of me were very unimpressed and I was re-enrolled. I expect remote monitoring with current generation Resmed…"

Travel Machine
Hi. Can anyone recommend a good travel CPAP machine. I have an iSleep 20i machine at the moment and a respironics nasal mask. I would like a lighter weight one for holidays. Any suggestions? Thank you!

HI Karen although there are several on the market that arequite small I would recommend the Bream Z1. We went to New Zealand last year and didn't want to drag my Repironis one around with me because we were on and off coaches and staying only one or two nights in hotels at a time for 4weeks. It's very small about size of your hand and light, plus very quiet if used with 22mm hose not the 18mm one supplied. It fitted in my carry on case with plenty of room to spare. ( I found a small camera bag to keep everything together, mask hose etc). Contact Chris at Remserve in Edwinstowe he's very helpful if you need any more info. Nb I am not an employee just a very satisfied customer.

Breas have an online store.I live in Sheffield.

Also Remserve have online shop
I forgot to say it only weighs 280g as well.The only downside is the bright green led on the power supply.but I put plaster over it to stop it lighting the bedroom!!!
Plus there an app called nitelog so you can set it up, see your results etc.

In the UK we don't pay VAT as it's medical, need doctors prescription or letter to prove it though on purchase. Is that the same in the CI's

Thank you very much for your help David. I'm not sure about a dr's letter. I'll have to find out! Enjoy the rest if the weekend!

Hi Karen Regarding a travel machine, I'd be inclined to hang on a short while because both Respironics and Resmed are both due to release small travel machines. There's no indication on price yet, but it might just be worth waiting. Other than that the Z1 David has spoken about has good feedback - as does the Transcend.

Many thanks for your reply. I am weighing up the possibilities.
