If you are considering a Travel CPAP to simplify your life, then you should definitely take a look at the new Luna TravelPAP. It is the latest addition to the Travel CPAP options out there today. It is made by React Health, also known as 3B. They have been making reliable Home CPAPs for a while now and will now be offering this option for Travel CPAP. In this blog we will go over all of the details on this new Travel CPAP as well as our review to how it compares to other options.

Luna TravelPAP Details:

The TravelPAP has a very unique look. I have compared it to more of a bluetooth speaker or noise maker look. It certainly does not look like a CPAP with the unique pill-like setup. On one end of the unit is your air outlet for attachment of any standard CPAP tube and on the other end the air intake where you have a disposable filter. From end to end the TravelPAP measures 6.26″. It is 2.6″ deep and 2.8″ tall. So, it takes up very little room on a nightstand or in a bag. It only weighs 14 ounces or 0.88lbs. Definitely helpful in a limited weight or space travel situation. Below I will detail the other unique specifications on the Luna TravelPAP.

Luna TravelPAP Specifications:

  • Size: 6.26″ x 2.6″ x 2.8″ and weighing 0.88lbs.
  • Noise level: About 30 dB (A) depending on pressure settings.
  • Setting Options: Fixed Pressure CPAP or Auto CPAP ranging from 4-20cm
  • Warranty: 2 years on device
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth via the LightTrip app at the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
  • Electrical: 100V – 240V, 50Hz/60Hz, 1.0A max. Input at 19V, 1.26A
  • Tube and Mask Connection: Universal CPAP tube connection (22mm) and universal CPAP mask connection.

Setup of your Luna TravelPAP:

There is likely not an easier setup than on this Luna TravelPAP CPAP. More than likely it will not take you more than a minute or two. I would even bet that it takes you more time to unpack the box than to hook it up and start using it.

What’s included with the TravelPAP:

Getting Started on the Luna TravelPAP:

  1. Connect your CPAP Tube to the side of the machine.
  2. Check the filter housing on the opposite side of the tube to make sure filter is installed.
  3. Connect your mask to the CPAP tube.
  4. Plug AC power supply into the device. Located just below the CPAP tube connection.
  5. Put on your CPAP mask and start the Luna TravelPAP by pressing the On/Off button.

Luna TravelPAP Maintenance:

There is VERY little maintenance on the Luna TravelPAP. Weekly you will check the filter inside of the Filter housing for discoloration. Change it at the first sign of discoloration or wear. Wipe down the unit weekly as well with a damp cloth making sure that the filter housing is clear. Outside of that you will just keep the CPAP mask and tubing cleaned weekly with normal cleaning procedures.

Connecting your Luna TravelPAP to the LightTrip App:

Once you download the LightTrip app linking it to the TravelPAP is a breeze. Follow the steps below and/or take a look at the video above to get it linked up via blueooth very easily.
  1. With your Luna TravelPAP plugged in to power press the bluetooth icon on the top of the unit. Once you press the icon it should start blinking.
  2. Now open your LightTrip app and press the bluetooth icon in the top left of the app.
  3. Now select your serial number from the list of available connections.
  4. Your bluetooth light on top of the TravelPAP should go solid white and the app should switch to your main screen showing your settings and controls.

CPAPmyway Review of Luna TravelPAP:

We always get pretty excited about new CPAPs, and Travel CPAPs are especially cool. The Luna TravelPAP is no exception to that. Out of the box it has a very cool look. Nothing like a CPAP machine at all. There are not true buttons or screens to make it look medical. If you didn’t know what it was, then you might think it is a speaker or something. Below I have some details on what I found to be cool features as well as where I thought we have some room to improve.

Luna TravelPAP Pros:

  • App worked great: With some bluetooth connected things it can be a little wonky. This unit connected to the LightTrip app really quick and easy. The app was very user friendly, and even the clinical menu navigation was easy from the app.
  • Normal noise level: Nothing out of the ordinary on noise level. As with all Travel CPAPs, there is more noise than with a home CPAP, but not bad at all.
  • Really simple: Not a whole lot easier than this unit. Hook it up and go to sleep. One little filter to check weekly.
  • Auto On worked great: Sometimes you feel like you need to work hard breathing to get the Auto On feature to kick in on your CPAP. This one was super-sensitive and was running within a breath or two for me.
  • Universal Connection: No adapters needed to connect standard tubing or any CPAP mask.

Luna TravelPAP Cons:

  • No Accessories: The only power option would be the DC power cord, but there is no battery option or HME designed to work with the TravelPAP. You can use generic HMEs or a Generic Battery like the Portable Outlet, but nothing has been specifically designed for the TravelPAP.
  • Tube and power connection: I really don’t like when the tube and power cord plug in the same side. Makes for weird nightstand setups and operation. This unit is not alone in this setup though. Seems to be common amongst other Travel CPAP options.
  • No humidifier system: As with all the other Travel CPAPs, the TravelPAP does not have a heated humidifier option. HME is the only humidity choice.
  • No Bipap option: If you are on Bipap, then this unit will not work for you. That is also a common issue amongst all other Travel CPAP options.
