The Luna II Auto CPAP Machine from 3B Medical is an automatic positive airway pressure (APAP) machine that monitors the user’s breathing and adjusts the air pressure as needed during the night. A continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) setting is also available.
People with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) use PAP machines to keep their airway open while they sleep. OSA is a common sleep disorder that can cause pauses in breathing, as well as snoring, gasping, and choking due to the upper airway narrowing or closing. PAP machines deliver pressurized air, helping to normalize the user’s breathing while they sleep.

The 3B Luna II Auto has a fixed pressure CPAP setting as well as an APAP setting that monitors the user’s breathing and auto-titrates to provide the appropriate air pressure level. Some people find APAP more comfortable than CPAP because the air pressure settings automatically adjust to changing breathing patterns as they sleep. Your doctor can determine which type of PAP machine is best for you.
The Luna II Auto also features a built-in heated humidifier, expiratory pressure relief, mask leak detection, WiFi and cellular data sharing, and up to 60 minutes of ramp time.

Features You Might Like
The 3B Luna II Auto CPAP Machine has a range of features intended to make PAP therapy more comfortable, including a heated humidifier and expiratory pressure relief. The machine also allows users to access and share their therapy data.
Special Features:
- Integrated heated humidifier: A common side effect of PAP therapy is a dry mouth and throat. The Luna II Auto’s integrated heated humidifier adds warmth and moisture to the pressurized air for a more comfortable experience.
- 60-minute ramp time: Some people find it difficult to fall asleep with their CPAP machine at high air pressure settings. The Luna II Auto’s ramp settings, which users can set for up to 60 minutes, keep the air pressure lower while the user falls asleep.
- Expiratory pressure relief: The Luna II Auto’s expiratory pressure relief lowers the air pressure when the user exhales. This feature allows breathing to feel more natural during therapy.
- Automatic start: The machine starts when the user first breathes in through their connected mask, making it easier for users to begin therapy.
- Mask leak detection: The Luna II Auto alerts sleepers if it detects a mask leak. This is a helpful feature because mask leaks lower the actual air pressure level users receive and can compromise PAP therapy.
- WiFi and cellular data sharing: Users can choose to share their data with their medical team using a WiFi or cellular connection.
- Accessible data: The Luna II Auto provides a QR code that users can scan with their smartphone to review their therapy data.
APAP Machine Size and Cost
The 3B Luna II Auto is an average size for a CPAP machine with an integrated humidifier. However, it is heavier than the average machine, and its lower profile does translate to a slightly larger footprint than other CPAP machines. Removing the humidifier tank does not reduce the machine’s size.
While users can travel with the Luna II Auto, those who travel frequently may prefer a travel CPAP machine or one without an integrated humidifier.
APAP machines are typically more expensive than CPAP machines. The Luna II Auto features a mid-range price-point for an APAP machine with CPAP capabilities. The machine also offers many of the features as a similarly priced CPAP machine in addition to the auto-titration capabilities of an APAP machine.

How This APAP Machine Performs
The 3B Luna II Auto is designed to be easy to use. It has a full color LCD screen with adjustable brightness. Its settings are controlled and selected with a large knob, with separate buttons for ramp and mute. Most people should find the Luna II Auto easy to use, though some may require glasses to read the screen.
The Luna II Auto is compatible with all mask types and standard tubing. However, it is not compatible with heated tubing.
Air pressure measurements are described in centimeters of water pressure, or cm H2O. Like many other APAP machines, the Luna II Auto has a pressure range of 4 to 20 cm H2O.
The Luna II Auto has a sound level of 28 decibels. This is slightly louder than the average APAP machine, though it’s still considered quieter than a whisper. However, those who are very sensitive to sound may prefer a quieter model.
Users can choose between five options for the Luna II Auto’s humidity level. The heated humidifier maintains a set temperature that cannot be adjusted.
3B Medical suggests that users clean the water chamber with a cloth and warm, soapy water on a daily basis. The tubing should also be cleaned every day, while the machine itself should be wiped down weekly with a damp cloth. Users should replace the air filter every two weeks.
Frequent travelers may prefer a smaller APAP machine than the Luna II Auto, which has a slightly larger footprint than comparable models. However, the machine and accessories are still small enough to fit into a carry-on bag.
