CPAP Machines



Pro-Tech Medical is your local provider for CPAP technology. Let our Respiratory Therapist help educate you about your new CPAP machine.



In this picture, you see a RESMED CPAP machine with a heated water chamber on the front. The machine comes with a memory card for your physician to monitor your compliance and the
machine's performance.



We also provide all your gear including mask, tubing, filter, and headstrap. We provide all your supplies after the initial set up as well. It is recommended that you frequently change out your machine's filter for optimum performance much like you would your filter for your HVAC unit at home. New tubing helps to reduce bacteria build up. A new mask will ensure a proper seal on your face. Over time, the seal can break down due to facial oils.
