APEX XT Prime CPAP Machine
The APEX XT Prime is one of the smallest and lightest fixed-pressure CPAP machines available for purchase. It is an excellent travel companion that can provide the excellent performance you have become accustomed to with other larger CPAP machines. It has all the major functions that CPAP therapy users are looking for in order to receive the same performance that they are used to.
PVA
The Pressure Variation Algorithm provides relief to CPAP users who have trouble exhaling in constant air pressure. It reduces the pressure during exhalation and returns to the prescribed pressure level again on inhale, making breathing out easier. There are three pressure level settings, C1, C2, C3, so users can customize how much the pressure changes. PVA will not compromise your comfort nor have any negative effects on your CPAP therapy.
SD Card
All APEX XT CPAP machines come with an SD card that allows the user to easily download and store their CPAP information on a PC. CPAP users can now record their data for their own review or take the information to their physician or health care provider. There, they can analyze the results and make adjustments to improve your sleep apnea therapy.
Size
Smaller than other CPAP machines in its class, the XT Prime is the perfect CPAP machine for frequent travelers who do not wish to carry larger machines onto airplanes and in their luggage. Lightweight and palm-sized, the XT Prime can easily fit into carry-on luggage and remove the stress of having to travel with bulky machine.
Screen and Interface
The interface is user-friendly and easy to read. Changing settings is intuitive and quick, making setting changes simple. The machine is equipped with an LED screen that is clear to read, even in complete darkness.
Built-In Power Supply Brick
All XT models come with a built-in power supply brick that essentially eliminates extra machine parts. This allows the machine to only require a simple power cord and remain compact and easy to travel with. In order to power the machine you must have it plugged in at all times. The APEX XT Prime can easily be stored in a carry-on bag without having to worry about the amount of space it takes up. The power supply is universal and will work internationally as well as domestically. For international travel, however, you will need an outlet adapter in order for it to operate.
Optional APEX Medical XT Heated Humidifier
The XT Humidifier which is sold separately is designed to be the perfect CPAP companion. Used in conjunction with the APEX CPAP machine, the humidifier can add a bit of bulk to the overall machine size, but it packs the same punch that you would expect from larger CPAP machines. APEX has developed a great alternative for those who need a travel friendly but effective CPAP device. This does not include the humidifier, but you can buy a machine with the humidifier here .
Heated Humidifier
The heated humidifier reduces the irritation commonly associated with CPAP therapy. Traditional CPAP devices can cause irritation of the throat and nasal passages, but humidified air can eliminate dryness. The humidifier will provide a minimum of 8 hours of humidification every night. APEX has vigorously tested the humidifier and determined that you can reliably expect 8 hours minimum with a full water chamber.

Reviewer's Tip:
The XT Prime comes with a gray, washable, and reusable filter. They should be cleaned at least once every two weeks, but more frequently in extreme temperatures or in dusty areas. In general, you should replace the filters every six months if you are keeping up with maintenance. Pay close attention to your filters and replace them if you think they are wearing down so that you can be sure that your APEX machine is performing at its optimum levels.
Note: Low Pressure Auto Off setting is enabled and the device will be automatically turned off after detecting a large leak for 3 minutes.

FAQ
Does the XT Prime come with a pressure alarm function?
Yes, there is a low pressure alarm setting that will tell you if there is a large leak in your mask. You have two different options available: in both cases, "Low P" will appear on the screen, but the audible alarm can be turned on or off.
Can I replace any of the fuses inside the machine?
No, there are no fuses that can be replaced by users, and if you have any fuse issues within the first two years, the machine will be covered under warranty. The two year warranty is voided only by water damage/misuse of the machine.
Can the machine be powered by a battery or a car adapter?
This device does not have DC capability so it cannot be powered by a battery or a car adapter. However, it can be used with a DC to AC inverter (only the CPAP machine, not the heated humidifier).
My filter is worn down and I haven't ordered a replacement yet. Will my machine operate without a filter?
No, the XT Prime cannot operate without the filter. Pay attention to the condition of your filter is in when you clean it and make sure you have replacements ready so that your CPAP therapy is not affected by a dirty or destroyed filter.
