I've been on Cpap for 5 yrs. Where we live, (semi-rural, brownouts and sporadic outages are common; ergo, blown machines are common )the circuitry is a small computer, and no, an apc doesnt supply enough power.
Part of the deal is monthly replacement of filters and same-day replacement of blown units. Quarterly replacement of masks and hoses.
I've gone through 3 units; mine are the expensive Bi-pap units @$3k a pop ($5200msrp). Do the math.
