Medistrom Pilot-Flex: The Ultimate CPAP Battery for Travel & Backup Power

Never let power interruptions or travel plans compromise your essential CPAP therapy again. The Medistrom Pilot-Flex is a revolutionary, ultra-portable power solution, ingeniously combining a high-capacity travel battery with an intelligent backup power supply. Whether you’re at home facing an unexpected outage or exploring off-grid, the Pilot-Flex ensures your CPAP or BiPAP machine keeps running, delivering 1-2 nights of uninterrupted sleep therapy on a single charge for most devices.

Freedom to Travel, Confidence at Home:

Lightweight & Travel-Ready: Weighing a mere 0.5 grams (1.2 pounds) and housed in a robust aluminum casing, the Pilot-Flex is built for the demands of travel. Take it on the road, in the air (FAA compliant – always check with your airline!), or on any adventure where reliable power is paramount. It’s your compact companion for great sleep, anywhere.

Broad CPAP/BiPAP Compatibility: The Pilot-Flex is designed to power a wide range of popular CPAP and BiPAP machines from leading brands like ResMed (including AirSense & AirCurve series), Philips Respironics (DreamStation series), and more. (Ensure you select the correct Medistrom cable kit for your specific device model).

Seamless Home Backup Power: Don’t let power outages disrupt your vital therapy. The Pilot-Flex acts as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Simply connect it in-line between your CPAP machine and the wall outlet. If the mains power fails, the Pilot-Flex automatically takes over, ensuring continuous therapy. When power is restored, it recharges itself, ready for the next time.

More Than Just CPAP Power:

The Pilot-Flex is a versatile travel essential. Equipped with USB-A and USB-C ports, it doubles as a convenient power bank to charge your smartphones, tablets, and other handheld electronic devices, keeping you connected wherever you are.

Optimizing Your Battery Performance:

To maximize the run time of your Pilot-Flex (typically 1-2 nights for most CPAPs):

Humidification & Heated Tubing: Using your CPAP’s heated humidifier or heated tubing will significantly reduce battery life. For extended use, it’s recommended to turn these features off or use the humidifier in passover (non-heated) mode.

Device Settings: Activate any “ECO,” “Power Saver,” or “Airplane Mode” settings on your CPAP machine.

Comfort Features & Leaks: Features like C-Flex, A-Flex, or EPR, as well as significant mask leaks, can increase power consumption. Minimize leaks and consider temporarily disabling comfort features if maximum battery duration is critical.

Daisy-Chaining: For even longer off-grid power, multiple Pilot-Flex batteries can be linked together (piggybacked) to extend overall run times.
Important Usage & Care:

Always read the included instructions thoroughly before first use. To maintain battery health and longevity, fully charge your Pilot-Flex before storage and ensure it’s recharged at least once every 6 months.
