European Voltage adaptor for Philips Respironics

I live in New York and am going to France on May 24. I need a power adaptor, as my USA apap machine is 110v and France is 220v. There are many choices on Amazon but some of the feedback comments say "do not use with CPAP". Others, for the same converter, say, "fine". I'm afraid of frying it when I plug it in. Does anyone here have any experience with this, please? I can't be the only American with this concern! Thanks

Your machine itself can handle the voltage differences just fine without any sort of adapter but you will need a different plug in thing to insert into wall socket. The machine will convert between 110 and 240 all by itself....it also will handle the Hz differences as well.
Look at the specs for cpap machines...same machines go all over the world and they can handle differences without special converters.

What you need is just to be able to plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
There are adapters to use from the power cord to the wall outlet or you can just get a power cord with the correct little prongs.
Just replace the power cord from the brick to the wall outlet is probable the best.

It is easy to verify what Pugsly said. Read the label on the power supply. It is probably a switching power supply and is the same world wide, except for the plug.

The label will have a voltage range, which should include 220 volts. It will have a frequency range, which should include 50 hz.

No, just an adapter for the plug - https://www.amazon.com/s?k=french+outle ... _sb_noss_1

Better, and probably cheaper, is to just buy a short cord, like Pugsy said.

Uh, not for me. I would carry both US and European cords. You might get stuck in a stateside hotel coming or going. My little multi-adapter takes up very little space.
