3B Luna II Auto CPAP Machine Review

3B Luna II Auto CPAP Machine Review Breakdown

The Luna II is an APAP machine that automatically adjusts pressure levels based on the pattern of your breathing. This differs from standard CPAP machines, which maintain a fixed pressure level throughout the night and BiPAP machines that deliver pressure at different levels for inhalations and exhalations but otherwise don’t change. Many people prefer APAP therapy because breathing in and out can be difficult or uncomfortable at the same pressure level. 

APAP devices treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by promoting airflow throughout your breathing passages. OSA occurs due to a physical obstruction in your airway, so extra circulation can help prevent heavy snoring, gasping, choking, and other symptoms people experience with this sleep condition. 

The Luna II comes equipped with an integrated humidifier, Wi-Fi and cellular connections, and an LCD interface that enables QR code access to sleep data. You’ll need to purchase a face mask separately, but all other accessories needed for APAP therapy are included with your order.

What’s Included

The Luna II is designed to alleviate OSA symptoms while allowing you to sleep comfortably. The integrated humidifier is heated to prevent dry mouth and congestion, but the tubing is not heated. The machine includes several key components with your purchase.

Product Features

The Luna II has several features intended to promote comfortable breathing. These include a 60-minute auto ramp that gradually increases pressure to help you fall asleep, expository relief to reduce pressure when you exhale, and an audible alert if your mask loses its seal over your mouth and/or nose.

The device is also high tech in terms of viewing and reporting sleep data. A QR code on the display allows you to access and send data to your doctor through a Wi-Fi or cellular connection.

Sizing and Pricing

Measuring about 11 inches long and 7 inches wide, the Luna II’s area dimensions are akin to those of a letter size sheet of paper. A flat base allows the machine to rest on any flat surface, though it may take up a fair amount of space depending on the size of your nightstand. Additionally, the Luna II measures roughly 4.5 inches thick and weighs 4 pounds.

Size Comparison:

• Travel: The Luna II is larger than most PAP devices specifically designed for travel. That said, the machine is still fairly portable and shouldn’t take up too much space. You’ll need to completely drain the humidifier before storing the device in your luggage since the water chamber is not sealed.
• Standard: The Luna II is slightly larger than average compared to other standard CPAP machines. This is due in part to the integrated humidifier. Shoppers should keep this in mind when deciding where to place the device in their bedroom. The Luna G3’s size is on par with other CPAP machines featuring built-in humidifiers, which significantly add to a device’s surface area and weight. Most nightstands should provide adequate space for the machine.

Device Performance

• Noise level: The Luna II produces up to 28 decibels of noise while in use. Comparatively, many competing APAP machines max out at 26 to 27 decibels, making the Luna II slightly louder than average.
• Ease of use: The device is user-friendly. Although the interface is somewhat small, an LCD display makes it easy to read. You can access sleep data by scanning a QR code. Wi-Fi and cellular connections also allow you to report your compliance data quickly and easily.
• Portability: The Luna II is larger than many competing devices, but shouldn’t be too bulky or heavy for travel. You can remove the humidifier to make the machine smaller for easier storage.
• Pressure settings: The Luna II offers pressure levels of 4 to 20 centimeters of water (cm H2O). This is a standard pressure range for PAP machines. Since this is an APAP device, it automatically adjusts pressure levels based on your breathing patterns throughout the night.
• Air-temperature control: Thanks to the heated humidifier, the Luna II delivers warm air through the connective tubing and into your face mask. An increased temperature helps you breathe more easily and prevents dry mouth, sore throat, and other symptoms of congestion.
• Humidity control: The Luna II’s integrated humidifier helps reduce condensation and rainout in your tubing. However, the tubing itself is not heated. This means the device provides lower humidity control compared to devices with heated tubing.
• Compatibility: The machine is compatible with any full-face, nasal, or nasal pillow face mask on the market today. You cannot use heated tubing with the Luna II.
• Maintenance: Like other PAP devices with humidifiers, users need to clean the Luna II’s water chamber on a regular basis. Using distilled water prevents mineral buildup in the reservoir. After scrubbing the tank, you should let it air dry until all moisture is gone.
