Travel CPAP Machines
Travel CPAP machines deliver the same prescribed therapy as your home machine in a package small enough for a carry-on, a backpack, or a camping kit. CPAPSupply.ca carries the two most trusted portable CPAP machines available in Canada: the ResMed AirMini, an ultra-compact auto CPAP weighing just 300 grams, and the Transcend Micro, the lightest travel CPAP we carry at under half a pound, which works with most standard masks. Both support auto-adjusting pressure and are approved for in-flight use, and both are meant to travel alongside your everyday machine rather than replace it at home. A valid prescription is required for any CPAP machine in Canada, and our team can help you match yours to the right travel model, along with battery packs for off-grid trips and the correct mask setup. Orders over $150 ship free anywhere in Canada, and we are available seven days a week if you have questions before you order.

Travel CPAP Machines We Carry
A travel CPAP machine is built to go where a full-size machine cannot: a carry-on, a tent, a hotel nightstand with no room to spare. It delivers the same prescribed pressure as your home machine, and every model here runs in auto-adjusting mode. All of them are meant to travel alongside your everyday machine rather than replace it, so each one is a second purchase. A prescription is required for any CPAP machine in Canada; our team will show you how to send yours after you order. Log in or sign up free to see member pricing.
ResMed AirMini Travel APAP Machine
The ResMed AirMini is the smallest machine we sell, about the size of a phone and roughly 300 grams. It runs ResMed’s AutoSet pressure algorithm, is approved for in-flight use, and humidifies without water using a HumidX heat and moisture exchange insert that sits in the tube. The trade-off is mask choice: the AirMini works only with specific ResMed AirFit masks (F20, F30, N20, N30 and P10), each with its own setup pack. If you already use one of those at home, it is the lightest option; if not, read on.
Transcend Micro 510 Travel Auto CPAP
The Transcend Micro 510 is the lightest machine in the store at about 218 grams, and its advantage over the AirMini is that it works with almost any standard 22 mm mask, so you bring the mask you already trust. It has a GentleRise ramp, AirRelief pressure relief, a WhisperSoft muffler that keeps it at 27 dBA, and an optional battery for camping. The 510 is the current version and comes in four colours: Birch White, Petal Pink, Graphite Gray and Midnight Blue.
Yuwell BreathCare Pocket S Travel CPAP
The Yuwell BreathCare Pocket S runs in fixed CPAP or auto-adjusting mode, connects to any standard 22 mm mask, and carries a three-year warranty, a year longer than the other two. There is no humidifier built in, which is the usual trade-off for its size; plan on a heat and moisture exchanger for the tubing if dryness bothers you.
Batteries and power for off-grid trips
Every travel machine runs on mains power, and most flights and campsites will not give you a plug. A CPAP battery such as the Medistrom Pilot-24 Lite or Pilot Flex gives one to two nights of therapy on a charge, and a DC adapter runs the machine from a vehicle. Both are under CPAP power options, and neither needs a prescription.

Frequently Asked Questions About Travel CPAP Machines in Canada
Do I need a prescription for a travel CPAP machine in Canada?
Yes. A travel CPAP is a prescription medical device in Canada like any other CPAP, APAP or BiPAP machine. The same prescription you used for your home machine covers it, since it names the therapy type and pressure rather than a specific model. Batteries, masks and supplies ship without one.
Can I use my regular CPAP mask with a travel CPAP machine?
It depends on the machine. The Transcend Micro 510 and the Yuwell Pocket S connect to any standard 22 mm mask, so your home mask works. The ResMed AirMini works only with ResMed AirFit F20, F30, N20, N30 and P10 masks, each with its own AirMini setup pack, so check your mask model before choosing it.
Can I use a travel CPAP machine on an airplane?
Yes. The AirMini, Micro 510 and Pocket S are all approved for in-flight use, and the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority lists CPAP devices as permitted in carry-on baggage. Airlines have their own rules, so notify yours in advance, carry your prescription, and bring a CPAP battery with enough capacity for the flight, since in-seat power is not guaranteed.
How do travel CPAP machines humidify air without water?
Most use a heat and moisture exchanger, a small insert that sits in the air path and captures the warmth and moisture from your exhaled breath, then returns it on the next inhale. ResMed’s version for the AirMini is the HumidX cartridge, replaced on a schedule like a filter. It does not match a heated water humidifier for output, which is one reason a travel machine is a companion to your home machine rather than a replacement.
Does insurance cover a second travel CPAP machine in Canada?
Usually not through provincial programs; Ontario’s Assistive Devices Program, for example, funds one primary PAP system on a set replacement cycle and does not fund a travel unit. Some private extended health plans will cover a second machine within the plan’s equipment maximum, and others treat it as an exclusion. Check your plan wording, and if you want a quote to submit for pre-approval, request an insurance quote.
