Sleep Apnea System
Question by mrlexington: Are there any CPAP systems for sleep apnea that operate off of compressed air tank?
Are there any CPAP systems for sleep apnea that operate off of compressed air tank as apposed to a small electric compressor?
My father would like to go camping but there won’t be any electricity to operate his CPAP system. One that operated off of a SCUBA tank might work though.
Thanks.

Sorry, there’s no CPAP system like that.
You’ll probably need to use a generator or something.
It’s probably worth talking to the doctor about beforehand. Your dad’s sleep apnea may be mild enough that he could tolerate not using it for a little while. Only way to be safe is to ask your doc.
