Z2 Auto Travel CPAP Machine by Breas
This Ultra-Small and Lightweight Z2 CPAP machine is perfect for travel just like its predecessor the Z1 CPAP machine. This machine weighs only 10.5 ounces and is just 6.48" X 3.30" X 2.02" and easily fits into any carry bag. It also includes an Auto start and stop feature and a free Q- Lite to muffle any noise in the mask area. Not only is this machine light and quiet but you can use any mask with this machine so take your favorite mask with you when you travel!
Need humidification, no problem, this machine offers tank-less humidification through their Heat Moisture Exchanger or HME, which recycles heat and moisture from your exhaled air so no need to bring distilled water with you when you travel.
The Z2 offers the same great integrated battery options as the Z1 for off-the-grid travel where power is limited. Add the optional PowerShell which is sold separately.
Breas Z2 Auto Travel CPAP Review
Travel-Friendly
Weighing slightly less than 1 lb and approximately the size of a smartphone, the Z2 Auto Travel CPAP is both compact and lightweight. It takes up minimal space in a backpack or suitcase and is ideal for the tight quarters of a tent or car.
Z-Breathe Exhalation Relief
The Z2 Auto Travel machine comes with comfort features you will find in any top-notch CPAP machine. The Z-Breathe Exhalation relief function reduces air pressure during exhalation making it much easier to breathe against the incoming air. The Z2 offers 3 levels of Z-Breathe for your comfort and you will be able to select which level is best for you.
Automatic Altitude Adjustment
Ideal for users traveling through the mountains, the Z2 APAP machine automatically detects altitude changes and adjusts therapy pressure accordingly up to 8,000 feet.
Leak Compensation
The Z2 CPAP is capable of detecting minor leaks from your CPAP Mask. When you experience a mask leak, the device will kick in to ensure that your prescribed pressure needs are met. Should an excessive leak occur, the screen will warn you that your mask is leaking with the word "REMINDER" shown in bold. To remove "REMINDER" from your screen, simply adjust the mask back into the proper position.
Nitelog Mobile App (iOS /Android )
Breas' Nitelog* mobile app lets you view your AHI, sleep hours and generate a compliance report. To use the free Breas Nitelog app with your Z2, simply download the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play and enable Bluetooth on your Z2 device.
*The Nitelog app may not be compatible with all Android devices due to developer limitation. (Breas is currently working on an update for their Nitelog app).

we have some patients who place it inside their night stand drawer and leave the drawer open for the machine to be able to get adequate airflow. If you do not have a drawer, we recommend to place it on top of a small box on the ground.
Thank you
Also, if your CPAP device breaks down, you'll need the prescription to get an emergency replacement or supplies you may have forgotten to pack. So it is a good practice to keep your doctor's prescription handy because you can never know when an emergency could arise.
Breas is currently in the process of revising the Nitelog app program to address these changes to the Android OS. But this update will take time to be developed. We do not currently have an ETA for this.
The good news is the Breas has a desk top software, and the USB cable that came with your machine will be able to assist with plugging your machine to your lap top or computer. You can also make changes to your clinical settings on the device itself.
I recently received my Breas rental machine and I love! I chose this machine because of the wonderful staff at RespShop, I explained to them how sensitive my wife is to sound and that she is just able to tolerate my home machine as of recently, however, anything significantly louder then I may have been on the couch for the duration of our trip! I was informed that this machine is the most quiet of them all which worked great in my favor. I also occasionally have issues with humidity, despite going to a more moist climate I also purchased the Breas HME. I only ended up having to use the one out of the two I purchased which lasted a week. I was very appreciative of the staff for making me aware that this may have been an issue. I already used Respshop as my supplier of my equipment. They knew which mask I already, I was told it would work with it and it did! Always great and knowledgeable staff, quick delivery and easy returns which is very appreciated. Will likely purchase the Breas Z2 for my next trip!
Amazingly quiet! Very compact @ great for traveling.
Just used my Z2 Auto for the first time on a business trip. It's easy to use, not too noisy, and I like it much more than by Philips Respironics machine that I have at home. Good product!
But they really went out of their way to accommodate,
I thank them very much
I like the product, but for $800, a travel bag should come with it.
The Z2 is a "travel" APAP, but when you travel and decide to check your compliance data, the app asks if you want to change the device timezone to match where you are currently located. You say to yourself, "Sure! I should do that".
Well, ..just don't!
If you do change time zone, then all the compliance data history on your iOS device app gets wiped and starts over as Day 1 for the new timezone. If your job requires compliance data reports then you're going to show a hole in the data when you travel and make the mistake of changing timezones. This is weird bug for a "travel" unit.
Otherwise, I find the unit to be very effective, lightweight, quiet, and comfortable to use. Without the software bug I'd rate it a 5
I was excited to have a travel APAP machine that would be easier to transport than my Philip's Dream Station. That was until I actually used it! I assembled it properly and my nasal mask was snug, but even if I managed to fall asleep, I would wake up after an hour or so and be unable to go back to sleep because of the noise level. I tried to use it 3 nights in a row without any success. It never occurred to me that this would be an issue and it would be nice if the company could make some kind of modification to alleviate the problem.
Hi Laura,
We're sorry to hear this! Travel units are louder than home units because there is less room for sound abatement insulation.
Have you tried using the Q-lite in-line muffler that comes with the Z2? It will help reduce the noise. This is how you connect the muffler:
machine --> tube adapter --> 8" tube --> muffler --> 4 ft tube --> HME (if using)--> mask
