Home CPAP units are portable, electricity-powered devices designed to deliver continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or chronic snoring. They work by maintaining steady airflow through a mask, helping keep airways open during sleep to prevent breathing interruptions and improve oxygen levels.
These devices are typically regulated as medical equipment and may include features like built-in humidifiers or automatic pressure adjustments. They are primarily sold for home use but can also be used in clinical settings, with variations in design and functionality depending on manufacturer specifications and regional regulations.
