Regarding the PowerShell with extended life battery for the Z2, how many hours of usage will the average CPAP user get with this accessory? Near the end of the inhale you can clearly feel when the moisture is gone. If you want to experience exactly how the HME works you can breathe into one directly and then inhale. We adopted it for CPAP use and it has been very successful. The HME came from a widely used product in hospitals for ventilated patients. What has Breas’ role been in the development of the HME? I became aware of the concept of the HME (heat moisture exchanger) through the Z1. I was shocked at its lightness How does the weight of the Z2 compare to the other travel CPAP machines on the market today?ĭue to the very compact size of the Z2 we were able to make it the lightest device on the market today. I remember the first time I held a Z1 in my hand. The most notable ones are a new motor that is 29% quieter, new auto start/stop feature, and an increase in machine reliability of 91%. The new Z2 has many improvements over the Z1. What are the major differences from the Z1? The newest iteration of the Z series, the Z2 CPAP, debuted in 2019. The Swedish influence can be seen in our ventilation products today. The plan is for future iterations to be designed in Sweden. The design of the Z1 CPAP was actually originally developed in Boston. Do you think that influenced the design of the “Z” series travel CPAP machines? Scandinavia is known for its sleek, modern design ethic. I understand that Breas is a Swedish company. HDM is the consumer-facing arm of the company and is currently being phased out.


They have since been purchased by Fosun Pharma and integrated into one company. When I first became involved in 2016, Breas and HDM were both owned by a private equity company. What is the relationship between HDM and Breas? When I was first introduced to the Z1 it was under the HDM brand.
