CPAP machines come in many types, consisting of various main and optional components. You can find more detailed information in this article. What is CPAP? How is it useful?

At this point, everyone probably knows quite a bit about CPAP machines, and the content in this section is necessary for you to know. in order to understand more in the content that I will talk about next

Next, I'll explain what factors the price of a CPAP machine depends on. Which will be sorted from the factors that affect the price the most to the least.

Factors Affecting CPAP Machine Price

1. Types of CPAP machines

CPAP machines can be divided into 3 types, arranged in descending order of price as follows:

Manual CPAP / Fixed CPAP – Constant pressure CPAP machine => have the lowest price
Auto CPAP / APAP – Automatic pressure adjustment CPAP machine => more expensive
Bi-level PAP / BiPAP – A PAP device with two pressure levels. most expensive

If you don't require a very high CPAP pressure (our company's guideline is no more than 8 cmH2O), you might consider a manual CPAP machine, which is the cheapest of the three types.

This type of CPAP machine provides a constant pressure throughout the night. Therefore, you need to know the appropriate pressure level for treatment, which can be determined through a sleep test that includes adjusting the CPAP pressure on the night of the test (CPAP titration). The price of a manual CPAP machine starts at approximately 20,000 – 35,000 baht.

However, if you require a higher therapeutic pressure, such as above 8 cmH2O, I usually recommend using an Auto CPAP machine. This machine provides high pressure only when necessary, and at other times when high pressure isn't needed, it automatically adjusts to a lower pressure level as needed throughout the night.

Automatic CPAP machines are more expensive than manual ones, costing approximately 38,000 to 85,000 baht, depending on the additional accessories mentioned later.

In some people with very severe symptoms requiring very high pressure treatment, such as 15–25 cmH2O, doctors may recommend this. BiPAP machine (2 pressure levels) that can set the pressure in the inhalation stroke to one value And the pressure in the exhalation rhythm is another value that is different.

Because those who need high air pressure for treatment will have a very uncomfortable problem in the exhalation rhythm. Because you have to breathe in the opposite direction to the airflow coming out of the machine

Therefore, we will set the exhalation pressure to a low value to make exhalation easier. For example, the inhalation pressure is 20 cmH2O, the exhalation pressure is 15 cmH2O, etc.

BiPAP systems are the most expensive, especially the Auto BiPAP models which automatically adjust to the optimal pressure. BiPAP systems range in price from 90,000 to 130,000 baht.

3. Brand or Brand

Another factor that affects the price of a device is its brand or brand. If you compare the same type of CPAP machine and the accessories are the same. You will find that the price for each brand will be different.

If it's a brand made in America or Europe The price will be higher than brands made in China or Asia. This factor is directly related to quality, performance and functionality. of the machine as well

in the same type of machine But different brands may have different prices in the tens of thousands.

4. Types of masks

This factor has the least impact on price, as the price difference between different types and models of CPAP masks is typically no more than approximately 1,000 – 3,000 baht. Some companies selling CPAP machines may price the machine itself separately, with the mask being an additional charge depending on the model.
