Talk to your travel carrier in advance
Call your carrier to find out what you’re allowed to bring. If required, your doctor can provide a letter of medical necessity for your equipment.
Always carry your prescription
Ask your doctor for a copy of your prescriptions for your PAP machine, mask, filters, tubing and humidifier – and keep them handy.
Determine the power supply type at your destination
PAPs power on with most voltages from around the world. To travel light, bring a universal power adapter.
Pack an extension cord
Keep an extension cord in your PAP carrying case to make powering your therapy easier.
Bring a back-up power supply
Power outages can happen any time, and you may not have access to an electrical outlet. It’s smart to pack a portable battery.
Keep sleep a nightly priority
Travel can disrupt your sleep schedule. Still, aim for eight hours of sleep every night and never settle for less than six.
At Philips, we know that whatever you do, sleep apnea follows – and we understand that a sound, restful sleep is something you can’t do without. That’s why DreamStation Go Portable PAP machine is an indispensable partner.
