CPAP Machines in Ireland: Buying Guide
Looking for a CPAP machine with delivery to Ireland? Here's what a CPAP does, which machine types are available, and how to choose the right one for your prescribed therapy.
In this guide
What is a CPAP machine?
A CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine is an electrically operated medical device that delivers a steady flow of air during sleep. It's most often prescribed to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition in which the soft tissues of the throat or airway temporarily collapse and interrupt breathing during sleep.
How does a CPAP machine work?
A CPAP machine sends a steady flow of pressurised air through a mask, either via the nose or the mouth and nose together, keeping the airway open so breathing continues normally through the night.

Types of CPAP machines
There are three main types of CPAP device available for delivery to Ireland:
Standard CPAP
Delivers a fixed pressure, preset to your prescription.
Auto CPAP
Automatically adjusts pressure through the night within a prescribed range.
Travel CPAP
Light, compact units built for travelling without pausing therapy.
Choosing the right machine
Your doctor should be the one to decide which machine type and pressure setting suits your therapy — a prescription is required to purchase a CPAP device. A primary care provider, somnologist or pulmonologist is best placed to recommend standard, automatic, or BiPAP therapy based on your diagnosis.
If you've already been prescribed a specific setting and pressure range, ordering is straightforward — most patients on auto-adjusting therapy will be looking for an auto CPAP, since it accommodates a full prescribed pressure range and ramp settings.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a prescription to buy a CPAP machine?
Yes — a prescription from your doctor or sleep specialist is required, since the machine type and pressure settings need to match your diagnosed therapy.
What's the difference between standard and auto CPAP?
Standard CPAP delivers one fixed pressure set by your prescription. Auto CPAP adjusts the pressure automatically within a prescribed range as your needs change through the night.
Can I take my CPAP machine when travelling?
Yes — a dedicated travel CPAP like the ResMed AirMini is built for this, though a full-size auto or standard CPAP can also travel with the right accessories.
How do I get help choosing between models?
Message our team through the site chat or by email with your prescription details, and we'll help you match a machine and mask to your therapy.
