Traveling by plane or car is a great way to explore the world, so Brevard Medical Equipment wants you to be prepared and have a wonderful trip. We have tips and accessories to accompany you on your vacation. As long as you are set for your trip, it will go smoothly with your CPAP machine and accessories.

Tips for Traveling with your CPAP Machine:

  1. When you are preparing to get through security at the airport, let the officer know that you have a CPAP machine. Be ready to take the machine out of the case so it can be scanned. You are allowed to have your CPAP machine in a clear plastic bag while it is being scanned. This is a good idea because this will keep it safe from germs.
  2. Invest in a good carry-on bag for traveling. Find a bag that is perfectly made for your CPAP machine, CPAP mask, and all the accessories. Finding the right bag will give you peace of mind knowing your CPAP machine and accessories are all in their place in one carry on.
  3. If you are a frequent traveler, consider getting a smaller machine like the Fisher Paykel ICON Auto CPAP. A smaller machine can fit in smaller places, like a carry on and operates quietly. It has a contemporary design so it is more appealing to use and travel with.
  4. No matter what time of the year it is, beware of germs and illnesses that linger in airports and hotels. CPAP Mask Cleaning Wipes can help your machine and mask stay clean throughout your trip. Travel size packets of wipes are great and don’t  take up much room.

You can rest easy knowing you are taken care of while traveling with your CPAP machine and accessories. Brevard Medical Equipment wishes you safe travels and fun while on vacation this year.
